This political violence stems from a systemic demonization of him and his supporters by commentators, yes, by elected members of the Democrat Party, and even some in the media.

The deranged lies and smears against the president, his family, his supporters have led crazy people to believe crazy things.

Everyone who has a voice and a platform across this country, whether you're on television, a podcast host, you know,

People listen.

And when you have mentally disturbed individuals across the country who are listening to this crazed rhetoric about the president day after day after day, it inspires them to do crazy things.

The left-wing cult of hatred against the president and all of those who support him and work for him has gotten multiple people hurt and killed, and it almost did so again this weekend.

Just two days prior to the shooting, ABC's late night host Jimmy Kemmel disgustingly called First Lady Melania Trump an expectant widow.

Who in their right minds says a wife would be glowing over the potential murder of her beloved husband?

And having experienced what I did with the First Lady on Saturday night, I can tell you that she was anything but that.

This kind of rhetoric about the President, the First Lady and his supporters is completely deranged and it's unbelievable that the American people are consuming it night after night after night.

As President Trump said on Saturday night at this podium, we as Americans must recommit ourselves to resolving our differences peacefully and uniting around the shared values that make our country great.

The deranged lies and smears against the president, his family, his supporters have led crazy people to believe crazy things and they are inspired to commit violence because of those words.

It has to stop.

whether you're on television, a podcast host, you know, people listen.

And when you have mentally disturbed individuals across the country who are listening to this crazed rhetoric about the president day after day after day, it inspires them to do crazy things.

And unfortunately, it's not just the media.

It is the entire Democrat Party has made their pitch to voters across the country that Donald Trump poses an existential threat to democracy.

He does.

Right, he is.

In response to a question about the incident, White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt stressed that President Trump believes that Saturday's security protocols worked, but added that changes could happen.
