If you are assigning blame to Trump for this, then you have to assign blame for the riots in Furgison and Baltimore to Obama.
If you will do that, we can discuss this all day long.
If you won't, this thread isn't worth the electricity that was used to create it.
I leave it up to you.
I've never heard any former US presidential candidate demonize minorities nor have i ever heard them encouraging their voters to knock down their political opponents. Many foreign journalists who have attended Trump rallies have said that the atmosphere reminded them of something that was going on in Germany back in the 30s, and apparently they weren't lying.

Duke quit the KKK 40 years ago and does not support them or represent them. He has criticized the KKK since.
Also like Byrd, Duke disavowed being a white supremicist and rejects that label.
Jesus...no...Duke left the Klan and formed the National Association for the Advancement of White People (NAAWP), a white nationalist organization.
Byrd left the Klan and apologized, made amends and condemned intolerance and hate and fought for equality and civil rights...
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -About 363,000 voters have given Hillary Clinton a dominating win in South Carolina's Democratic presidential primary.
Clinton got about 74 percent of Saturday's vote with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders getting 26 percent.
The turnout didn't set a record. In 2008, about 530,000 voters went to the polls for the Democratic primary, and Clinton got only 27 percent of the vote against Barack Obama.
Last week, in the six-way South Carolina GOP presidential primary, more than 740,000 voters cast ballots, which did set a record for turnout.
1 million more people have voted in Republican primaries than Democratic ones
We’ve been tracking the discrepancy between turnout in the Democratic and Republican primaries and caucuses since Iowa — the night it became very clear that people coming out to vote for Republicans were turning out much more heavily.
On Super Tuesday, that trend continued, for the most part. In the Nevada caucuses, more Democrats came out this year, as they did in the Massachusetts and Vermont primaries. Otherwise, Republican turnout was larger — often much larger. In fact, in the 10 states shown below, 1.1 million more Republicans have voted than Democrats.

I find the blind support of Trump on this site to be extremely worrisome. This is a place where denying ignorance is supposed to be at the heart of discussions, but many members ignore that motto for some reason.
Yes, the actions of Trump's supporters do reflect on Trump himself because he's not condemning the actions, if anything he is promoting them with comments like "making them leave on a stretcher" and so forth. People think Obama raised racial tensions? He's nothing compared to Trump. White supremacists, Islamaphobes, and Mexican-phobes supporting him proves that he is a racially polarizing candidate, and I'm not too sure that's not his entire purpose in this election cycle, to raise racial tension.
Trump is not going to make America great again any more than Obama brought hope and change. Same song, different tune, and people fall for it every single time. Every. Single. Time.

Who's the party that nominated the first African American for the presidency?
Who's the party that currently attracts white supremacists to their rallies?
They nominated him ONLY because he is (50% black), but they don't tell you how he hates his own mother because she was white. They don't tell you who the TRUE racist is, (Obama).
They did it to make a political statement because of guilt, without any regard to what they were actually going to get. A Mafia affiliated president with many Marxist and Communist friends and mentors.
What they also didn't tell you later by their silence, was that they support a man who pretended to despise every Bush policy, but who took the baton toss from Bush, and doubled down on every Bush policy instead.
ENTER Bush number 3!
So in all truthfulness, the democrat party is and has continued to be BUSH SUPPORTERS, while blaming him for everything wrong, while doing everything exactly the same except MORE OF IT that Bush did!
What have you got to say for these facts?

I guess only liberals are allowed to call for more "muscle" to remove unwanted parties.
Personally, I really hope they can her. Not only did her actions fly in the face of what a person in her position SHOULD stand for, she was also escalating the situation and inciting what could very well have turned into a physical altercation.
As a progressive liberal, I find scenes like this and the recent meltdown of whiny infantile Yale students deeply disturbing and I wonder how much of it can be attributed to the likes of Ms. Click who have taken legitimate ideals of tolerance and equality and contorted them into perverse mockeries of social justice. In their zeal to affirm their own moral superiority to themselves and to demonstrate it to their peers by creating ever more unpragmatic and self-defeating tactics, opinions, jargon, etc, they've completely lost touch with what 'the struggle' is about.
Barking commands? Shouting for students to use force to deny another student his civil liberty? That's not progress. Those aren't the words or actions of anyone truly concerned with positive change in society — that's a would-be despot exercising her tiny bit of authority in an attempt to oppress others.

I'm not assigning blame to trump. Yet. I dont know enough about the incident. But i have a question.
Do you not see a problem if a presidential candidate attracts racists and white supremists as supporters,? Does that not ring alarm bells in your head? And do you honestly believe that they are not supporting him because of his disgusting promises to stop Mexicans coming in and kicking all muslims out?
In you brain, there is no correlation?
I'm sure you like the guy (that's the only reason you would defend him since everyone else can see he's scum) because he promises to "make America great again"..but if you can't see the above, you really have been Trumped.
