The Daily Show: Trump's Rhetoric and the Christchurch Shootings - Between the Scenes
Trump may not be directly responsible for the Christchurch, NZ shootings, but he and the shooters are both products of white supremacy.

Donald Trump did not directly cause any of these shootings, but he is a catalyst. He inspires, arouses and legitimizes this kind of hatred and violence, so I believe he has a much bigger part in provoking these kinds of attacks than Trevor admits to.
Trump is a stupid, evil, horrible excuse of a human being, but we would be fools to underestimate his influence upon these people who are pre-disposed to committing these kinds of acts and are just looking for a little push from the right person.
Thanks Rhiannon!
