    I was talking to my 90 year old grandfather recently if the political climate has ever been this bad. He responded. “No, its never been this bad. Trump is an incendiary.”

    Trump absolutely takes a lot of blame in this. He heard something he thought would benefit him and repeated it tot the masses like it was fact.

      It was pointed out to me just recently that my comment was unclear— YES, Trump is obviously to blame here. I was trying to comment on the provenance of the claim. I apologize for my clumsiness of speech.
