Tweety Trump, failed as a President, even fails as an adult, when he cannot publicly state the 17 yo Wisconsin murderer did the right thing!
This is a form of gaslighting in my opinion as it makes the absurdity of the shootings OK to Trump!
WHERE WERE THE BOY'S PARENTS? What did mom and dad expect when their son walked out of the house with a rifle?
The boy took a gun with him planning to create a killing opportunity! This is called pre-meditated murder in some laws. Where is Trump's "law and order?" It is the hands of White Supremacists and criminals who hate blacks.

"President Donald Trump on Monday portrayed the gunman charged with murdering two protesters in Kenosha, Wis., as a victim, suggesting that the Illinois teenager was acting in self-defense.
Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, was arrested last week and charged with two counts of first-degree murder for shooting during an anti-racist protest following the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Video of Rittenhouse at the protests showed him carrying an assault rifle and telling someone on the phone that “I just killed somebody,” according to the criminal complain against him. He was taken into custody the following day."
What more absurd ideas will Trump supporters accept?

"If you're a size 2, but your husband insists you're too fat, do you believe him?
If your spouse criticizes how you load the dishwasher and yells at you for not getting it right, is her anger your fault?
If the new president says he won by "a landslide," when he actually won by a historically narrow margin, are you confused?
All three of these scenarios could be considered "gaslighting" — a word that CNN predicted last week will be one of the most used of 2017."
Gaslighting also includes does of 1984: war is peace and so on.
Why Gaslighters Accuse You of Gaslighting
By Stephanie Sarkis, PhD Posted Feb 13, 2017
Accusing you of their own behavior is a classic gaslighter's tactic.
"Gaslighters — people who try to control others through manipulation — will often accuse you of behaviors that they are engaged in themselves. This is a classic manipulation tactic."
Listen to Tweety's bull shit and you'll recognize what he is doing.
"Gaslighting tactics include:
- Blatantly lying.
- Splitting — pitting you against a friend or family member.
- Working to align others against you.
- Telling others that you are crazy, unstable, or manipulative.
- Lying about things they said and did, even though you swear those things happened.
- Telling you they don’t like your family and friends — but for vague reasons.
Many gaslighters . . . :
- Cheat in relationships, yet accuse their victims of cheating.
- Accuse their victims of being addicts, when they are the true addicts.
- Accuse their victims of manipulation, when they are the ones who manipulate.
- Gaslighters will accuse others of these actions even when there is direct evidence that they are engaging in the same behaviors.
Why do gaslighters do this [accuse others of the precise act THEY are doing]? They are making pre-emptive strikes and/or projecting."
Stephanie offers some hope that we can fight off Trump's gaslighting, but it takes will power.
"Manipulative people typically do not pre-plan their moves," Ingram says. "They come from an underlying personality disorder and are played out step-by-step in collusion with the victim, who unwittingly encourages the manipulation."There's only one way out, she says — by changing your response to the gaslighter.
Use logic, not emotion, says therapist Dr. Gordon Livingston, author of several best-selling advice books, including "Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart."
Don't confuse the gaslighter's manipulations with reality."
