Not saying there are no bad people doing bad things in the name of Trump but there sure seems to be a lot more people making it look like Trump.Do you have any links bc the media seems to have not shared those stories. I'd be interested in seeing them. We don't know who committed these hate crimes but from what I've seen there is a huge increase. Seems like a lot more confererate flags around.
