Apparently, he wrote about why he was doing it.
Now google a list of the President’s violent rhetoric. Also, recall the time he tried to have his VP killed.
Dumb politics aside, we elected one of the biggest assholes in presidential history but now we’re shocked when mentally ill people want to take shots at him?
The dissonance is astounding.
It is astounding. I'll help you out since you're struggling. The left has moved further and further left, which leads to more and more violence.
Trumps 60 Minutes interview with Laura O'Donnell was... shall we say interesting in spots?
Worthwhile watch.

Just an FYI. Her first name is Norah. I watched the interview. Trump went nuclear on her when she referenced the portion of the shooter's manifesto that he (the shooter) was "no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes."
Trump's reaction: "I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would, because you’re horrible people. Horrible people. Yeah, he did write that. I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.
“Oh, do you think he was referring to you?” O’Donnell asked, before Trump interrupted.
“I’m not a pedophile. Excuse me. Excuse me. I’m not a pedophile. You read that c--- from some sick person? I got associated with stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated. Your friends on the other side of the plate [WTF?] are the ones that were involved with, let’s say, Epstein or other things. But I said to myself, ‘You know, I’ll do this interview and they’ll probably’— I read the manifesto. You know, he’s a sick person. But you should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I’m not any of those things.”
"You shouldn’t be reading that on 60 Minutes. You’re a disgrace. But go ahead. Let’s finish the interview,” he continued, adding, “You’re disgraceful.”
She didn't seem particularly fazed by the attack. I guess his interviewers fully understand that the meltdowns go with the territory.
Trump explained to a reporter that, after studying assassinations, he understands why he has been the target of multiple assassination attempts. These incidents are not, according to Trump, reflective of an increasingly violent society. They're not the result of inflammatory rhetoric. Rather, they've happened because Trump is "impactful," like Lincoln.
"Well, you know, I've studied assassinations," Trump said. "And I must tell you the most impactful people, the people that do the most -- you take a look at Abraham Lincoln... the people that make the biggest impact, they're the ones that they go after."
(It's not clear how Gerald Ford, who was the target of two assassination attempts 17 days apart, fits into Trump's analysis).
"I hate to say I'm honored by that, but I've done a lot." He's done a lot, alright.
What goes around comes around.

Your attempt to justify this violence by playing the "they did it first worst" game is a disgusting example of why it continues to happen.
Shame on you.
Grow up.
What was I trying to justify? Even assholes don't deserve to get shot just for being assholes. That's one of the gifts of liberal democracy.
Partisan hackery is why this shit happens. Both teams believing the ends justify the means is why this happens. That we're raising generations of unsociable tech-addled zombies while feeding them all this hyperbolic team-above-all bullshit is why this is happening.
How about you grow a pair of balls and hold your side accountable? How about the other side do the same?
He clearly had no intention of succeeding. He did everything possible to get caught. Weird. Seems he just wanted to send a message. Of course, there's no communicating to someone like Trump.Apparently, he wrote about why he was doing it.

Can you remember any other time where a journalist quoted from a would be assassin's manifesto and then asked the intended target whether they had a response to that?
I can't.
He should have just said, "F--- you Norah" and walked off.
but he didn't. Instead he got really defensive about being a pedophile. Weird. This whole situation is so weird.Trumps 60 Minutes interview with Laura O'Donnell was... shall we say interesting in spots?

Yeah, I know. My dementia was acting up last night.
But other than the spat with Nora, I thought he comported himself well. Wasn't biting on the "security failure" narrative.
