Let's get caught up on Trump's 'winning'

So much winning. Hard to keep up:
Reading his teleprompter like a forced hostage video, Trump condemned white supremacists and division. Which is like Jeffrey Dahmer condemning meat-eaters and freezers. His moral high ground cratered within hours.
Previously, at a rally, Trump: How do you stop these people? Shoot them, someone shouts. Attendees cheer. Trump laughs. But, were told, an inflammatory president bears no responsibility for inflaming the inflammable. A solitary Republican with guts and a conscience calls it what it is: (tinyurl.com/hetalks2)
Democrats want reasonable gun regulations, Republicans blame video games. (Video games are in every country. Mass murders arent.) Trump added fake news, of which hes the prime vendor, and poison on the internet, for which hes patient zero.
Trump wants to designate Antifa, some of whose members have stood up to and had fisticuffs with Nazis, a terrorist organization. White supremacist groups and Q-Anon qrazies, though, are welcome at his rallies.
FBI director Wray testified to Congress that a majority of the domestic terrorism cases that weve investigated are motivated by some version of what you might call white supremacist violence. No mention of Antifa.
