TRUMP: “BOMB STUFF HAPPENS, REPUBLICANS, JUST GO OUT AND VOTE”

…This is the latest mug shot of Cesar Sayoc Jr.

Sayoc used Trump’s high-profile critics as targets for his defective designed bombs.

It was absolutely disgusting that, regarding the man that sent out the mal-functioning bombs, the media initially made misleading statements that those receiving the bombs were just “those critics of the president”.

As always, there are always thousand critics of any American President, but those that were targets of these defective explosive devices are the exact people that the president has targeted multiple times in his speeches, his tweets and his public remarks.

The man that has been arrested for this has been identified as Cesar Sayoc Jr., 56, and Florida records show that Sayoc has a lengthy criminal record, including a 2002 arrest for a bomb threat, and other arrests for larceny and fraud.

But this maniac used Trump’s own targeted political opposition individuals for those he selected to receive Sayoc's thankfully, poorly designed explosive devices.

With this arrest, and the fact that the number of targets has now reached over a dozen, we’re looking at the offering up of a mass assassination attempt.

Word has it that the FBI had warned the president that they had identified and were watching the suspect and that they would apprehend him the following morning.  But in the FBI press conference, the head of the FBI was asked when did the FBI notify the president about identifying the bomber, no one would volunteer to answer the question.

That was most likely because if the president had been informed the night before, why did the president during the night before of the arrest, Tweet the following: “Republicans are doing so well in early voting, and at the polls, and now this “Bomb” stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows - news is not talking politics. Very unfortunate, what is going on.  Republicans, go out and vote!”

The obvious implication is that before the bomber was apprehended, the president wanted to feign ignorance as he attempted to say this ‘bomb stuff’ needed to be put aside and all the Republican voters needed to get to the polls and vote. 

Trump says he personally has no more responsibility for this bomber than Bernie Sanders has for the lunatic that attacked the Republican politicians at a softball practice.  An attack that almost killed GOP Representative, Steve Scalise.  I beg your pardon, but as Cesar Sayoc Jr’s van was covered with dozens of pictures of Trump, and with decals, one of which appeared to be a version of a presidential seal.  In addition, it had pictures and decals of those individuals that Trump has been criticizing.  Those pictures had a marksman’s target over their faces.  Also a sign that said CNN SUCKS.  All of those Democrats with targets over their faces were sent bombs.

Now imagine this was happening under a different president. Any sane leader would be profoundly disturbed by the idea that someone might be attempting to murder his political adversaries; he’d surely make statements, not just lamenting the attempted bombings and making general comments about unity, but would also specifically talk about what is going on right now in the country and what’s wrong with it.  And he or she would address their own supporters, telling them that they can disagree with the other side, but that violence on their behalf is never acceptable.

They wouldn’t just read it off a teleprompter, they would make sure that the people understood that they really meant it.

But that’s not what President Trump did, or would even think to do.  Instead, he’s following the same pattern we’ve always seen.  After events like the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., first he grudgingly reads prepared remarks condemning violence, then later his true feelings come out.

Will he change his story now that there’s a suspect in custody, someone who may be a deranged Trump supporter? Of course not. Even after the arrest, Trump was whipping up a crowd of supporters in the White House. After reading some unconvincing remarks about political unity, he once again played the victim, saying “Who gets attacked more than me?”

Trump always plays the victim and as usual, never takes responsibility for anything.

Once again, he proves he is just an ignorant, lying, narcissist that will never be responsible for anything but positive results, never for anything that is negative.

The particulars of Trump’s rhetoric always vary.  Sometimes he blames the media, sometimes he blames the Democrats, and sometimes he’ll advocate one or another conspiracy theory.  But he will never look inward and never sincerely ask Americans to seek out their better angels.

Every bit of this B.S. was predictable from the moment we realized that a bomb was sent to the home of George Soros.  I am surprised how late it was that Tom Steyer was sent a bomb.  He must have been over looked early on by Mr. Sayoc.

There is literally no imaginable situation in which Trump would act as a real president of all Americans.  There is no crisis in which he would be a force for calm.  No event that he would not seek to turn it into an attack on those he believes are his political enemies.  And obviously, no moment where he would not act in the most petty and reprehensible way possible.

That is who he is, who he has always been, and who he will always be.

Nuff said!
