The brutal and cowardly shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has shaken the nation to its core. Most of the American people are righteously repulsed by this craven act of political violence. And the grief being felt by Kirk’s family reverberates through the country that has experienced way too much of similar shootings, particularly those of children at school.

Sadly, those sentiments cannot be felt by America’s current occupant of the White House. Donald Trump didn’t wait long before he politicized this crime in a hate-filled video that openly blamed his political foes for the shooting. This shouldn’t surprise anyone who has been paying attention to Trump’s campaign of hatred throughout his political career. He truly regards Democrats as traitorous scum and isn’t shy about saying so.

Those feelings were reiterated in a despicable video that Trump posted following Kirk’s shooting. Rather than demonstrate the grace of empathetic leadership, Trump took the lowest road possible to further divide the country and incite more violence. He raged that “Radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives.” And that’s not all…

“It’s long past time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree, day after day, year after year, in the most hateful and despicable way possible.

“For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world’s worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now.

“My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it, as well as those who go after our judges, law enforcement officials, and everyone else who brings order to our country.”

Trump is already politicizing the shooting of Charlie Kirk, saying that "Radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people."And he's issuing threats that "My administration will find each and every one of those that contributed to this atrocity and…the organizations that fund it"

That heinous harangue is typical of Trump’s notorious maliciousness. He isn’t satisfied merely attacking his critics and blaming them for the all manner of evil. He also threatens to persecute them by abusing the power of his office and weaponizing of the Justice Department. And he does all of this before the shooter, or any motive, is even identified.

This may be a good time to remind people of just how rabidly partisan and venomous Trump is. In the past few months he has referred to Democrats as “Radical Left Lunatics” fourteen times. And he has accused them of harboring dastardly intentions to destroy America. No, really! Here are ten times this year alone…

March 21, 2025: the Leftists who are out to destroy your State, and our Country.

May 12, 2025: The Democrats, on the other hand, want to DESTROY our Country.

May 26, 2025: HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS.

May 27, 2025: the Environmentalists doing everything they can to destroy our Country.

June 15, 2025: These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities.

July 2, 2025: I’m not going to let this Communist Lunatic destroy New York.

August 2, 2025: THE DEMOCRATS ARE EXTORTIONISTS WHO ALMOST DESTROYED OUR COUNTRY.

August 7, 2025: The only thing that can destroy our Country are Crooked, Radical Left Judges, of which there are many!

August 11, 2025: “Congresswoman” Jasmine Crockett is a Low (Very!!!) I.Q. Individual, much in the mold of the AOC Plus Three Gang of Country Destroying Morons.

August 19, 2025: the Corrupt Fake News, which continues to divide and destroy our Great Country.

That’s how Trump really feels about “demonizing” rhetoric. He employs it freely to attack his opponents, ignoring what he now calls “the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree.” He couldn’t care less if it is “directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in our country today.” And he promises that he “will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity,” to suffer the punishment of his toxic wrath.

It’s a recipe for exacerbating the environment of violence that he has been instrumental in creating. It’s almost as if he’s glad that Kirk was killed, so that he can exploit his death to further his totalitarian ambitions. It’s definitely not the way to tone down the rhetoric and unite the country. But he surely doesn’t care about that.
