Donald Trump projects blame on the media for serial copy cat attempts to cause him harm but he stirs this cauldron of violence

Echo opinion letter published in the Dallas Morning News, in Texas:

Trump and media vitriol

Is it just coincidental❓  King Charles III gave another quote from Oscar Wilde in his popular April 2026, speech to the Congress.  Hmmmm❓

Maine Writer:  In my opinion, Trump's whining about how the media is causing his serial assassination attempts is a classic case of the cliché "what goes around comes around".  Check out my substack commentary on this subject here. I agree with this Dallas Morning News letter: 

To the Editor: Boston says assassination attempts against Donald Trump have increased due to over-reporting by the media and lack of sufficient security. #YGTBK ❗He says the volume of vitriol aimed at Trump by the media, and politicians should be turned down and that “unhinged rage directed at a political opponent serves no useful purpose and might just inspire a psychopath to try to kill someone.” (🙄Ya' think❓)

The author of this "no brainer" is either uninformed or willfully ignoring the “unhinged rage” that paranoid Donald Trump delivers near daily about his perceived political enemies. 

From his comments about Mexicans being murderers and rapists, to insinuating Gen. Mark Milley should be put to death, to his memes of Joe Biden hogtied in the back of a truck, to his constant insulting and demeaning language towards women and minorities, to accusing Barack Obama and others of treason, to his failure to disavow white supremacy groups, Donald Trump constantly delivers unhinged rage to this nation and the world.

Although political violence is all too common, it is wrong to place the blame on the media and political opponents, while ignoring Trump’s hate-filled rants and rages, is wrong, disingenuous, and dangerous.
