Trump then made a second point, one that at least worked slightly better as an analogy even if it still didn't fully hold up under analysis.
"Bernie Sanders had a fan who shot a very good friend of ours, Steve Scalise — and other people. He was a total maniac. Nobody puts his name in the headline — Bernie Sanders in the headline with the maniac," Trump told Ingraham.
While it is true that James Hodgkinson, the man who shot up a congressional baseball practice last year, was an avowed Sanders supporter, Sanders has never engaged in the kind of incendiary attacks against his right-wing critics that Trump has done against his left-wing opponents.
After Hodgkinson's shooting spree, Sanders said that "let me be as clear as I can be: Violence of any kind is unacceptable in our society, and I condemn this action in the strongest possible terms. Real change can only come about through nonviolent action, and anything else runs against our most deeply held American values."
Sayoc is accused of having sent explosives through the mail to a number of prominent liberal targets including former President Barack Obama, former Vice President Joe Biden, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Attorney General Eric Holder, Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Kamala Harris of California, Rep. Maxine Waters of California, former CIA Director John Brennan, actor Robert De Niro and prominent billionaire activists George Soros and Tom Steyer.
Trump also defended his earlier use of the term "nationalism" at a rally for Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, last week.
"It means I love the country. I look at two things: Globalists and nationalists," Trump told Ingraham. "I’m somebody who wants to take care of our country because for many, many years, our leaders — you know this better than anybody — our leaders have been more worried about the world than about the United States, and they leave us in a mess ‚ whether it’s the wars, whether it’s the economy, whether it’s debt, whether it’s all of the things that they’ve done, including putting in the wrong Supreme Court Justices and we’re — we’ve really put two great ones in."

If the states want to change the Constitution I have no problem.
See, this is why Trump got elected..spine and guts.
You are not atypical, most people have a problem expressing their opinions on sensitive subjects..just like you do.
We just got tired of our Republican Presidents being spineless and gutless.
