Is that TDS.

I wouldn't have made that point. Maybe it is. But that this narrative even comes up actually is partly on Trump still, as I see it. He did call the media the enemy of the people, and even though I agree that this probably had nothing to do with this attack, it's still not helpful to the overall climate by any stretch of the imagination.
I get your stance, I'd still also love to hear folks like you admit he should never have said those things.

In short, yes blaming Trump specifically is exaggeration and I'm not on board with that, but one shouldn't lose sight on the fact he did and does say inflammatory stuff. As for that last statement, I guess I can say that without being off.

I didn't make such a point. There's a lot of exaggeration, but I still can't see these exaggerations as the bigger issue compared to the crude things Trump actually really does and especially says.
When you mourn the climate, I think you can't leave Trump out of it. His behaviour plays a huge part in that.
