Pretty sad.
I did neither, nor did I make an assertion of causation. All I said was that Trump (and you as a Trump cultist/sycophant/apologist) should be pleased by the death of such frequently-vilified "enemies of the people," just as Americans were pleased by the death of Osama bin Laden. Trump has vilified the free press as much or more than he has vilified any other real enemy of the American people from OBL to the Taliban to ISIS to Hezbollah (to Russia, obviously). No matter how hard you try to excuse Trump's behavior, it is simply true that he has vilified the free press like no other enemy. Own it.
