Donald Trump Faces Backlash for Springfield Bomb Threat Response

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former President Donald Trump is facing backlash for failing to denounce the bomb threats made in Springfield, Ohio, on Saturday.

As reported by Newsweek and The Associated Press earlier this week, an emailed threat said bombs had been planted in the homes of Springfield's mayor and other city officials. A second email said that bombs would be detonated at locations including Springfield City Hall, several schools, and offices, leading to several evacuations.

In addition, there was an emailed threat regarding a potential shooting on campus at Wittenberg University, a private liberal arts college in the city, leading to school evacuations and the canceling of planned events.

In a statement, the university said: "Wittenberg University is currently taking extreme precautions following an email sent Saturday, Sept. 14, that threatened a potential shooting on-campus on Sunday, September 15, 2024. The message targeted Haitian members of our community. Wittenberg Police are cooperating with the Springfield Police Division and the FBI to investigate this threat."

This has lasted WAY too long.

5. What some call "backlash", Trump calls P.R. - his name in the news means his name is in the news.

If it is positive, he gloats and rants. If it is negative, he gloats and rants.

He sees it all as a bonus and an opportunity.

7. No serious adviser would have told him to do anything but denounce the bomb threats. Even whoever made the

threats wouldn't hold it against him. There was no downside to saying it even if he liked that happening. Hell, especially if he likes it.
