No -- but I am saying that he is provided comfort and encouragement to
the white nationalists and their movement.

Did he condemn the acts of either the Dayton or El Paso shooters?  I
might have missed it, but certainly have not heard such language coming
from him.  He did read a teleprompter speech without any affect.  It was
clear that he did not write it.  Nor did it look as if he really
believed what he was told he should say.

Hardly any of the mass shooters would ever have been diagnosed as being
insane.

Try playing a video clip of him in a Florida rally.  Paraphrasing, He
asks "what can we do about this invasion".  Someone in the crowd shouts
"shoot them". He laughs and says "well you could probably get away with
that in the panhandle".  That certainly does not sound like he is
discouraging the acts of one such as the El Paso shooter.

Then there is "I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with
it".
