From Escalator to Execution: Trump’s Trail of Political Bloodshed

John Muryell

Washington, D.C. — A growing body of evidence points to President Donald Trump’s rhetoric and strategic decisions as the driving force behind a surge in political violence, institutional breakdown, and democratic erosion across the United States. Analysts, investigators, and national security officials say the pattern is clear: Trump didn’t just provoke chaos — he built the architecture for it. Trump’s response to protest wasn’t passive — it was contemptuous.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination wasn’t just a tragedy—it was a trigger. What followed wasn’t mourning. It was a purge.

The left? Guilty, yes. But not prolific. Their violence is episodic, not systemic. The right’s, by contrast, is ritualized—baked into the movement’s DNA, merchandised in flags, echoed in pulpits, and justified in policy.With the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the right found its martyr. Stephen Miller didn’t mourn—he mobilized. He vowed to “dismantle these terrorist networks” of left-wing organizations, offering no evidence, just vengeance. JD Vance, broadcasting from inside the White House … Continue reading Before You Pick a Side, Ask Yourself: Who Profits from This Grief? Who Turns Tragedy into Policy?
