President Donald Trump has repeatedly refused to accept any responsibility for inciting violence in American communities, dismissing critics who have pointed to his rhetoric as a potential source of inspiration for some citizens acting on bigoted beliefs.

Little more than a week ago, he insisted he deserves "no blame" for what he called the "hatred" seemingly coursing through parts of the country, and outside of the White House on Friday, Trump accused news outlets of fomenting the very violence they've been asking him about.

So surprised! Not. Trump has been inciting violance for quite a while. His followers love it. Everyone knows it. Trump knows it but since it's good for him it's by definition "good".

It would be wrong to separate Trump from this group. He is one and the same. This is where our country is presently. Let's hope it does not get any worse. Nazi Germany comes to mind.

The difference is Hitler had plans.

Trump has slogans.

He thinks because his father gave him 400 million dollars he is some kind of genius.

He gambled with money made by somebody else his whole life. He lost a lot of times.

The only thing that saved him was what his father enabled him to own.

He is the furthest thing from self made as one could be.

He is a con man that became president to massage his ego. And he did it by appealing to the worst in human nature and by outright and continual lies.

He did not seek office like Hitler to fulfill some grand plans.

He has no plans and is making it all up as he goes. As those with eyes can see.

These are the ones reported to authorities that ABC could confirm. I too am sure there are many more.
