But, now we are seeing home-grown terrorism. People born in the United States, the attacker yesterday was born in the UK, who are committing these acts. They feel they live in a country that hates them and they retreat to an online world that radicalizes them and then they do what they do.
I don't blame Trump for yesterday of course, and I wouldn't blame him if something similar happened in the states tomorrow, minus some sort of error on the administrations part, but that goes for any administration.
ISIS has been pushing a narrative that the west hates Islam, it's what they sell and how they recruit these lone wolf types.
Trump with his rhetoric confirms it for those who are predisposed to believe it.
It doesn't help the problem. It hurts it.
And his solution is to ban Muslims from entering. Well, there are 3.3 million Muslims who already live here. Some of whom feel unwanted and demonized. And for what? Because Trump wanted to win a point on Obama and Hillary and pretend he is strong on terrorism.
