    Nigeria's largest military arm on Friday appeared to use the words of Pres. Trump – in which he said that throwing stones and rocks at American troops would be considered as firearms – to defend its shooting of protesters over the past week. https://abcn.ws/2DlFA0D pic.twitter.com/EWcMsX0YuX

        An anti-Semitic critic of pro-Israel Trump shoots up a synagogue & it's Trump's fault. A foreign military uses Trump's words to justify the shooting of protestors....and THAT'S Trump's fault. I think I've figured out your formula.

        I get the gist of your argument but it seems to fall flat. Being "pro-Israel" to appease the evangelical crowd isn't as convincing as you might want it to be. Donnie DID say there were good people after they chanted, in unison: "Jews will not replace us".

        My point being that many saw this as a dog whistle. To quote Mayor Gillum: "I'm not saying you're racist, I'm saying the racists think you're raciat". Meaning Donnie did not directly incite nor is he directly responsible. There is an argument for stochastic terrorism accusations.

        I'm not defending Trump. My only point here is that reasonable people see through the "Trump is responsible for everything" narrative. Blame Nigeria for bad use of deadly force. Making your political opponent the scapegoat of evil distracts from condemnation of the actual perp.

        POTUS used the Roosevelt room to proselytize this week. He said members of U.S. armed forces would have to fire at people throwing rocks; In an attempt to play into the fears of his more xenophobic base. The Nigerian army uses the words as an excuse, it's then reported on.

        If anything, this seems to be a lesson that words do matter, the world is listening. We can't chastise a country for using the same defense our President preemptively made in the same week. Moral bankruptcy is a bummer..

        You seemed to miss the point where I said "I'm not defending Trump". Your correct point that "words do matter" is meaningful if you also criticized Hillary for encouraging incivility until your side wins & Eric Holder, Julia Ioffe, Don Lemon etc. I have criticized both sides.
