I don’t fault …

… the people of El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, who are rolling-up the Welcome mat on the prospect of a visit from Donald Trump. To imagine that Trump hasn’t played a part in exacerbating the tensions that culminated in the El Paso shooting, especially, is downright delusional; he is a swaggering racist who encourages violence, and the sullen-schoolboy delivery of that prepared speech on Monday … well, Jesus. Shame! on anybody who can’t see what a loathsome, blood-on-his-hands pile of sewage that man is.
