The president rejected suggestions that his rhetoric has contributed to violence, saying “I think my rhetoric brings people together.”
President Donald Trump offered fresh support Wednesday for background checks for gun buyers as he visited two cities devastated by gun violence, and said the Federal Reserve was a bigger problem for the economy than China.Trump said he was “all in favor” of background checks, after leaving that proposal out of televised comments Monday in the wake of the weekend shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas.
Among Trump’s critics is Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke, who has suggested that the president’s language about immigrants helped inspire the El Paso shooter. Trump told O’Rourke to “be quiet” in a Twitter post before midnight. Trump took a jab at Biden on Twitter after the former vice president said Trump’s “low energy” repudiation of the white supremacy connected to the El Paso massacre is not credible given the president’s attacks on immigrants and people of color, as the Associated Press wrote.
