Inflammatory and demonizing. That is a call for violence, despite your attempts at spin. No Democrat has done anything close to that, despite your lies.

Trump said the shooter of Kirk was a left winger BEFORE anyone knew, and it turned out to be false.

That is totally irresponsible for a president to do!

Well, Trump is calling for violence against the left. You don't see that on the left. Based on a comprehensive review (by AI) of Donald Trump's public statements, speeches, social media posts (including recent ones from his X account @realDonaldTrump), and fact-checked analyses from diverse sources across the political spectrum, there is no verified instance where Trump has explicitly called for violence against "the Left". However, his rhetoric has frequently been inflammatory, demonizing left-leaning individuals and organizations (e.g., labeling Democrats, "radical leftists," or groups like Antifa as "enemies within," "vermin," or threats to the nation), which critics from outlets like Vox, The Atlantic, and The New York Times argue has incited or excused violence by his supporters. Supporters and some conservative sources often frame his words as tough talk against perceived threats, not literal calls to action. So, harsh rhetoric like essentially every news agency applies against Trump, sure. But actual violence, NO.
