Scumbag Trump blamed VP Harris for the so-called assassination attempt and calls her the "enemy within:" "These are people that want to destroy our country. It is called the enemy from within. They are the real threat."

'The enemy within': Trump hits Kamala Harris as cause of assassination attempt

Former President Donald Trump blamed Vice President Kamala Harris for the assassination attempts on him while speaking to Fox News on Monday — demanding a de-escalation of "rhetoric," while at the same time escalating his own language against her.

"He believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it," said Trump while speaking to Fox News Digital. "Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country, and they are the ones that are destroying the country — both from the inside and out."

There is no evidence so far that the alleged gunman spotted on the Mar a Lago golf course with an AK-47 over the weekend, Ryan Wesley Routh, was motivated by President Joe Biden Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris' rhetoric. His since-deactivated account on X claimed that he had voted for Trump in 2016, but later turned on him, supported Tulsi Gabbard in the 2020 Democratic primary, and wanted a Nikki Haley/Vivek Ramaswamy ticket this year.

Trump, however, has blamed the violence on Democratic arguments that have painted the ex-president as a "threat to democracy" because he sought to prevent the electoral count in 2020.

He's pining for open warfare in a Presidential campaign...

1. Predictable..............................

shithole is full of shit.

[Doodley]

2. A fascist move to stop any criticism.

16. Trump, that diapered flatulent hate-fueled maggot, targets....

election workers, judges/prosectors (and their families) witnesses, reporters, protesters, the disabled, Blacks, Latinos, Jews, Muslims, Asians, Native Americans, trans children, women, Paul Pelosi, asylum seekers (shit hole countries), New York, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Springfield, and Chicago..and now that psycho sewer scum who called Kamala Harris nasty, lowlife, low IQ, monster, bitch, crazy, "an insult to our country" wants the Dems to tone down the rhetoric?....fuck him!!

[Doodley]

17. Yes, he is sick. Should be in a mental institution.

[Sogo]

3. Both "attempts" were BY HIS OWN PEOPLE!!!!

He's hated by his own people!!!!

[rockbluff botanist]

4. Ain't gonna happen

The truth is the truth. Deal with it or not.

[struggle4progress]

5. Pfft. The guy likes makes groundless accusations

[Attilatheblond]

11. Especially when he needs to divert attention from reality of the availibility of dangerous weapons for unstable people.

Mr 'All Attention Must Be On ME!' doesn't like it when people start questioning what his actions might be doing to help create HIS (and our nation's) problems.

He had a VERY bad showing at the debate. His VP running mate confessed that he will lie if it helps stir up the rabble. Hard working immigrants in Ohio are getting good press while the right wing loons are getting bad press for causing all manner of shut downs of public facilities in that state.

Oh, and people needed to be distracted from the 'what the hell is with this Trump + Laura Loomer affiliation?'

Toss in 'whaaa, Taylor Swift doesn't love me and I spent money on that AI lie that she endorsed me!' and the massive Harris/Walz rally turnouts and the guy who won't actually walk a golf course has gone full tantrum daily.

If he was just a regular guy, he would have failed a mandatory 72 hour psych hold and have been ordered to a locked room in a mental health care facility long ago.

6. Is it just me or does this response seem awfully pre-prepared?

[JCMach1]

7. Creates vortex of evil around him and doesn't expect

Evil things to happen... Give me a break.

[JI7]

8. White male gun nuts are the fault of women and minorities.

[Attilatheblond]

12. Seems to be the mindset of that campaign.

With JD admitting he's OK with lying about groups of people just to make a point he thinks should be made, I am now wondering just how much of his anger against his mother is justified and what other details he might have left out.

[RAB910]

9. So a crazy MAGA shows up with a gun supplied to him by the GOP

and that is somehow VP Harris' fault

[BoRaGard]

10. Ha ha, what a loser

And in the end, the hate you take is equal to the hate you make.

[Demsrule86]

13. Sounds like those you conspired with for this nonsense or those on your side want to take you out...

Those who er targeted you were not Democrats.

[BootinUp]

14. The lowest road is where you can find Trump. Nt

[D23MIURG23]

15. It's the Reichstag fire all over again.

God help us if it works. If it doesn't it won't be because our media is too discerning to play directly into their hands.

[sakabatou]

18. Because blaming the shooter is too hard?

[GoodRaisin]

19. I despise this man and can't wait until we get rid of him once and for all.

I don’t understand why anyone would have any sympathy for this ass after all the shit he has done to the people of this country.

[Cha]

20. Of course he did... Whine Harder ya Sick Fuck.
