So if Trump hadn't used the word "invaded" this shooting would not have happened?
How about if there were not mass illegal . . . oh what shall I say . . . entries in waves by the thousands, and if there had been proper border security (including the wall that was promised by previous administrations), and if there had not been subtle, even obvious, invitations or encouragements to come by various speeches, articles, legislations, which also made it easier to do so, this shooting would not have happened?
Or if some crazy who saw the attention that mass shooters get from the media . . . or this or that . . . maybe the shooting would not have occurred.
But . . . what the heck . . . let's just say it's Trump's fault. After all he uses words like invaded . . . and infested. THAT'S the problem.

I’m not stupid, but his words matter and the white supremacy movement has embraced Trump. Takes multiple steps to solve this, but it starts at the top.

When Ronald Reagan was president, conservatives made much of how words can change the world.
Now Trumplicans say it doesn’t matter what Trump says, it’s just words.
