    You must be using common core math, let me help you out a bit. A special note to you, Wiki doesn't list any rioting in the year of 2018 and one riot in 2019. If you take a look, you'll notice that most of the riots were started by the left and by people you claim can only be oppressed victims. And take a look at the last one on the list, the left started rioting because Trump was elected. Trump's fault, right?

    This is not an easy question.

    I would say, among other things, by insulting hundreds of thousands of people publicly over the last 4 years.

    Wiki Is an extreme conservative source so your average leftist won’t trust it:) Trump causing the riots makes as much sense as a cops “murdering” gang members shooting at them.

    Well, he didn't insult deplorable people who cling to their guns and bibles. And many, many people on the left, including news outlets, have called Trump supporters racists.

    It's a pity that his insults were badly perceived by 80 million Americans.

    This is probably the biggest misunderstanding in the history of the country.

    Trump will go down in history as a poor victim of the left, the media, the Rinos and the voters who decided that he was a totally toxic individual.

    The left never insulted him, am I correct? They didn't have a day of screaming, big Trump balloons, calling him a racist whenever they could, accusing him of being a russian asset and so on. Nah, none of that ever happened.

    You're going to make me cry.

    Trump the most misunderstood President America has ever had.

    He himself tried to attack Obama's legitimacy by accusing him of being born in Kenya, but deep down he didn't deserve the hatred he received, let alone being dragged through the same mud that he himself has thrown at all the people he spits on.

    You may be right deep down and we will miss him, his lies, his 4 year old tantrums and his inability to take any responsibility when he falsely attributes all the successes to himself.

    His re-election should therefore be easy in 2024.

    So now repeating what libs is no longer acceptable. The left called Trump every name in the book including Nazi. Now find me a book, TV show, interview, or anything else where he said he was a Nazi. But Obama's own book said he was hatched in Kenya and it was the Clintons who ran with it. Have fun.


    Did Obama’s Literary Agent Say He Was Born in Kenya?
    A 1991 literary promotional booklet identified Barack Obama as having been born in Kenya.

    ...............................

    The allegation about Obama’s birthplace tracks back to the bruising 2008 Democratic primary between Obama and Clinton. According to a Telegraph article, as early as April 2008, a Clinton supporter passed around an email that questioned where Obama was born.


    "Barack Obama’s mother was living in Kenya with his Arab-African father late in her pregnancy," it said. "She was not allowed to travel by plane then, so Barack Obama was born there and his mother then took him to Hawaii to register his birth."

    When did Obama lie, when he said he was born in Kenya or when he said he wasn't? Think about it, in a book about Obama's life you'd think one of the easiest things to check would be his place of birth, how did this "mistake' happen? How did so many people, including Barack Hussein Obama, the smartest man in the room, miss it? You can't explain it so all you can do is make accusations towards others who ask these questions.

    BTW, the two sources I cited are liberal sources. Have fun.

    I don’t need to explain it. If you believe he was born in Kenya, it’s up to you to prove it.
    You haven’t and you can’t because you have no EVIDENCE.

    Just like all the Trump supporters crying about the election.

    The evidence is Obama's own book, all I'm doing is asking questions. When Trump was nominated in 2016 the left wing media literally sent reporters around the world to investigate him, but when Obama's own book said he was born in Kenya the left wing media did nothing.

    And so ? Still not EVIDENCE.

    As for doing nothing, how do you know they didn’t investigate and find nothing credible?
    Certainly the right wing media investigated, and they found nothing but continued to repeat the lie without any EVIDENCE.

    Really, it's not like this data was hidden, it has been front page news !!!!

    https://apnews.com/article/hate-crimes-rise-FBI-data-ebbcadca8458aba96575da905650120d
    Hate crimes in the U.S. rose to the highest level in more than a decade as federal officials also recorded the highest number of hate-motivated killings since the FBI began collecting that data in the early 1990s, according to an FBI report released Monday.

    When did Obama lie, when he said he was born in Kenya or when he said he wasn't?
    The snopes said it was his literary agent.

    Seriously, take this to the conspiracy section.
