He should be imprisoned for terrorism.
Amen to that. Where the hell is homeland security when shits like this (Drumpf & Fox) are spreading lies & slander that bring agitated unrest & death?
If he was a normal ass person he already would have been with all the Jan 6er scum
problem is you could never prove beyond all reasonable doubt he didn't believe it himself
That's because he really does believe it. If you listen to him say he heard it on TV it is the most genuine statement he has ever made. It's like a child telling you exactly what they saw on TV.
If you're looking for someone to sue it would have to be the "sources" Trump heard the information from. Unfortunately I'm confident those people understand the ruse. They know to say allegedly. They know how to utilize weasel words.
Oh man. "I saw it on TV!". Exact same intonation my 4yo used when he saw a "trailer" for Mario Movie 2 when actually it was just some junk a highschool kid threw together in iMovie. Totally belief and innocent ignorance.
It's at that moment I realized that Trump isn't just a useful idiot. He's the perfect useful idiot.
Like a part of me thinks that Trump might actually believe in Santa and that he looks an awful lot like that guy in the power tool show and sounds an awful lot like Buzz Lightyear.

Sounds like a candidate for a proper psych evaluation, then.
His niece, Mary Trump, knows him well and is a licensed clinical psychologist. She’s spoken and written extensively on his mental disorders (normally a psychologist won’t do that publicly, but she’s said he’s such a danger to the nation, she feels she has no choice).
She’s well worth reading and listening to.

He has the best brain. The greatest brain. One time, for some unknown reason, he took a cognitive test meant for dementia patients. He supposedly passed but he claimed it was hard for him. Such a stable genius.

"Very good people" indeed, ya orange turd.
I wish more of them would try to build bombs and find out it’s not so easy. ☠️

I'm glad our Government is Dealing with these Domestic Terrorist Threats so Seriously to ensure no Schools or Children are DESTROYED by these Right Wing Terrorists!
TBH it's odd that MAGA has not been classified as a terrorist group at this point.
It's too big. It's like how Christianity is not classified as a cult.
That's a very valid point.
Those who burn crosses...

How can you possibly think you are on the right side of things as you call in a bomb threat on a school?
I just don't understand how these people can think their tactics are morally justified.
They don't think that. They don't have morals.
or thinks
"innocent people are having their pets eaten! I'm going to help by threatening to bomb the innocent people!"
Yeah, people make up bs, other people spread it, old guy embarrasses himself saying it on tv, bomb threats. I have to be missing a step here.

I wish I could blame this one on Trump, but neo-Nazi crazies have been stoking this fire for a long time. And, honestly, good ol’ racism has been doing its work on this one from the beginning.
Trump only latched onto it recently, thanks to that Nazi vampire Laura Loomer
Edit: I apologize for being unclear— Trump is a monster and obviously responsible for the spreading of this lie. I was merely trying to speak to the rumor’s provenance and was very clumsy in my speech. I’m sorry.
Were the Republican nazis calling in bomb threats to Springfield before trump broadcast his fake news on air?

No name racists on the internet vs former (and potential future) POTUS... Yeah you're right, it's tough to tell who is more responsible for spreading this particular bit of misinformation.

I was talking to my 90 year old grandfather recently if the political climate has ever been this bad. He responded. "No, its never been this bad. Trump is an incendiary."
Trump absolutely takes a lot of blame in this. He heard something he thought would benefit him and repeated it tot the masses like it was fact.
It was pointed out to me just recently that my comment was unclear— YES, Trump is obviously to blame here. I was trying to comment on the provenance of the claim. I apologize for my clumsiness of speech.

Trump is to blame. When someone who half of the country blindly follows starts spewing slanderous venom, his followers will do the same. He's been doing it for years on other random issues. They follow every time. And he knows it.
but neo-Nazi crazies have been stoking this fire for a long time.
Acting like Trump didn't come in with a leaf blower and start blowing embers everywhere is just crazy to me.
Wouldn't it be great if people in US reject this divisive asshole and were no longer agitated by random bs they here from people on tv?

This could be our future - VOTE.
Trump is nothing, he was never the problem. These cunts are.
It's kind of like saying the lit fuse isn't the problem, it's the dynamite.
