>>Read the links in my post to Kevin and see if you think they're over-sensitive and over-indulged. People are out there attacking black, and muslim, and gay people, and women, and citing Trump.

There was a time when "the devil made me do it" was allowed as a defense. In some quarters today, "Trump made me do it" seems to be granted the same status and once again the MSM is there, getting it wrong.

Blacks: Trump promised to bring back jobs. I didn't see him calling blacks the N word or saying they should all be swept into ghettos where they belong or anything like that, so why would attackers claim Trump as justification? Can you educate me?

Muslims: he proposed a stop to immigration until better vetting can be established. He said that after a spate of violent attacks on Westeners by people shouting "allahu akbar" including in the US. That sort of reactive policy isn't racist, not least because Islam isn't a race, and nor is it directed against Muslim citizens. Can you educate me on that as well?

Gay people... how did Trump attack gay people?

Women - yep, Trump was caught out with his cringeworthy potty mouth comments. But how does it cause Joe Average to attack women if Trump says his superstar status allows him to do things that mortal men cannot? Even the sort of person who wants to live out those sort of boasts, couldn't possibly believe that Trump's boast applies to them- and nor should the MSM or people making these sorts of complaints.
