who he is

Trump would rather have his base think of him as a "nationalist" than as a kleptocrat.

In reality, Trump's a wealthy white supremacist who partners with international billionaires and crimelords to strip America down for parts and sell it off to the highest bidders.

— Sarah Kendzior (@sarahkendzior) October 23, 2018

what he did

The President has repeatedly called for political violence against his foes.

He's used dehumanizing rhetoric, racist conspiracy theories and massive paid online troll operations to amplify this message.

Today there were multiple ASSASSINATION attempts against those foes.
