"All writing is political" is something I've heard. Trump has ensured that all violence is political

When someone is shooting up a mall, a church, or a movie theater; and you have the POTUS with his finger between the "go ahead and tweet this" and the "cancel this tweet" buttons because he's waiting to hear if the shooter is a Muslim, then yes, there is a political layer here.

Trump and his supporters have created a narrative where it's somehow worse if a person shooting at you is named Muhammad rather than Adam Lanza.

This is the reality we live in today, all violence is now political.
