To play devil's advocate, while he does favor violence in these examples, they're all in the context of the situation at hand and someone starting it first. "I don't start fights but I'll finish them" is the line of reasoning I see in the examples provided. And in some of the more extreme examples, its comparable to punching a bully.
Also, I don't get why people are upset about Trump calling the media "fake news" It's rather widely known that pretty much all media outlets skew everything to fit their goals. For example they pretty much all ass-blasted trump, and put Hilary Clinton on a pedestal. Trump simply just ass-blasted them back with the "fake news" thing and primarily tweeting everything he said so it'd be harder for them to take it out of context.
Either way, some people will do things like this regardless of the circumstances or the Presidency. If you can find one example of a President where someone didn't get angry or do something crazy I'd be interested.

Yes, he's talking about how the media exaggerates/skews things. He's definitely not saying they're wholly and uniformly evil, say nothing but lies, and are trying to rewrite history and america's heritage. Nope.
Look at all of the individual stories he's calling out there. Look at the particular people he thinks are spreading fake news. Look at the reasons he states that they're fake. Oh, wait, he doesn't give any reasons (except 'they're publishing for special interests' and 'they're failing at business' -- and the first he provides no proof of) and he doesn't ever cite any particular person - instead labeling the whole organization, and thus everything they put out, as fake news. Fake, not because of particular lies of distortions of fact, but because 'they simply are: you know it; I know it; we all know it'.

The vast majority of police shootings are justified, a few are mistakes, very very few are outright murders. But the rhetoric would have you believe the majority are unjustified murders and that police should be punished for any shooting. Now I agree that we should make an effort to reduce mistakes mostly caused by miscommunication (the swatting incident, the police were not in communication with dispatch, and the victim was seemingly confused by police orders, two serious lapses in communication), and reduce the chance of outright killings by having a special prosecutor or a federal agency handle officer indictments (prosecutors work closely with police and thus a conflict of interest may be present). But that doesn't seem to be what people are after, instead they want to get back at law enforcement as a whole for the evil deeds of a few.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;53077020]The semantic difference between "crazy conspiracy theories" and "liar" is negligible[/QUOTE]
If we really want to go on a rabbit trail, Conspiracy Theory can mean a couple of things here.
1. If you take it word for word, it's simply a theory that there is a collusion between powers.
2. Since it's been sensationalized and butchered, it can be seen as people who suspect collusions are "nutcases drawing ridiculous conclusions from data"
3. Another sensationalized way to put it is flat-out "making stuff up" or "lying"
I'm inclined to believe Trump meant the second. If you look at the tweets in Zonesylvania's posts, in many cases of heavy bias he cites a specific example and calling them out on it under the blanket banner of "fake news". And even if it wasn't made up it could be overly sensationalized, with "pick and choose your evidence" Here's a quote from CNN to illustrate this example of "not lying, but skewing evidence to fit their bias." [URL="https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/23/politics/melania-trump-donald-trump-anniversary/index.html"]"She posted that the past year had been filled with "many wonderful moments," but she did not mention the President by name."[/URL] Talking about Melania Trump. It might not be wrong factually, but it clearly skews evidence to make Trump look bad.
The reason I think this way is due to this tweet here.
[url]https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/872064426568036353[/url]
If we look at all of the outlets specified here, many of them highly slandered trump in his campaign and still slander him today.
Due to this, Trump is quite fond of social media, since he could say his side directly to the people.
[url]https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/875690204564258816[/url]
Trump has a distaste for the media outlets and particularly CNN due to the way they sensationalize their articles to slander trump. He's simply pointing out with the term, "fake news", "Hey if you want the real story on me I can say it myself"
Anyways, if we go back to the main topic, You can even see how this article picks and chooses evidence to support their bias against trump. "In response to our story, a number of CNN anchors and reporters responded on social media, expressing concerns that the unfounded accusations of "Fake News" are leading to threats of violence by the unstable." [URL="https://docs.google.com/viewerng/viewer?url=http://WGCL.images.worldnow.com/library/6143497e-23f8-4ea3-9ea3-1faa7c4d27b8.pdf"]If you read the criminal complaint[/URL] He says "fake news" only once in the documented phone calls. (He makes 22 total calls 4 of which are listed, but not the others so there could be more to it.) While trump does push a buzzword for his own sake, the guy was clearly unstable in the first place. If it wasn't Trump, he would have chose another role model with his ideals.

[I]That's[/I] "demonstrating a flaw in an argument?" You're making such blatantly false equivalences. There is no "centrist" view here, there is no "well the democrats also..." here.

He unironically called the 'fake media' the 'enemy of the American people' and retweeted a gif of himself personally tackling and beating a CNN icon, a month after Greg Gianforte had actually bodyslammed and beat a reporter for real. There's many many examples of Trump making provocative statements that, taken as a whole, absolutely could incite his crazier supporters to become violent, which is what many has predicted from the beginning. This is not surprising. And when you consider who he is, what position he is in, and how often he has used inciting rhetoric, it shouldn't be surprising to you either.

It is, actually, whataboutism. It's amazing how people can continue to think this is good reasoning. Let me show you. Let's say you are correct and BLM/Democrats incited violence against cops. What does that mean for BLM/Democrats? Sounds like an obvious problem that should be dealt with somehow! What does it mean for Trump inciting violence? Literally nothing, since the situation surrounding him is still exactly the same. Best case scenario, you pointed out one poster's hypocrisy. Worst case scenario is you derailed the thread into a discussion about whether or not BLM/Democrats incited violence. If you are right, then wow, there are other people in the world than Trump also inciting violence, what a surprise!

There are some people, no doubt, who think all police are evil oppressors and all killings are pure murder.

I don't personally remember major Democrats saying that police are oppressors.
[QUOTE=joshuadim;53074936]Because BLM has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion here. It's whataboutism at work here. (BUT WHAT ABOUT BLM?? as if that has anything to do with this)[/QUOTE]
You know, calling something whataboutism isn't an argument if you're not using it to point out the fallaciousness of saying someone's hypocrisy makes their claim false or inversely justifies your position. Instead, it's just a a fancy way of arbitrary narrowing the scope of the discussion with some bonus points because of its historical association with Russia, a name we commonly hear now.
Otherwise, it's perfectly legitimate to ask 'what about?' if we're trying to achieve a consensus on a broader topic, like here with the nature of political violence. If you preclude that you're obviously just desiring a farcical kind of discussion befitting an echo chamber by appealing to 'we're talking about x on the table here, not y', just so the outrage culture isn't stonewalled by being bogged down in the trenches of debate. By the way, for all of its criticism communist whataboutery was massively effective. It colored Soviet-supported anti-colonial movements, sat heavy in the minds of liberals and pushed us towards legal equality, and even today everyone center-left and over will immediately ask a conservative 'freedom for who? property owning white family men?'
For example, it's a perfectly legitimate use of whataboutery to contextually suggest here that views given institutional legitimacy which propose that you live under a system that oppresses you based on your skin color, suggests prevalent ideas are the 'logic of oppression' and democratic institutions abide by such, and that you are one piece of an racial, gendered, class-based intersection whose movement is the undoing of an unjust system, [i]may[/i] end up pushing people to violence. We can draw these parallels because polarization is witnessed on both sides of the political aisle. It's not enough to just blame Trump for today's instability, he's probably more the fruit of it than anything which makes sense considering trust in media was plummeting well before 2016.
So yes, what about BLM? Are we supposed to ignore the left wing terrorism of the 1970s that far eclipses today's right wing and is associated with black power movements? It didn't stop leftists from talking about white supremacy, indeed nothing about 20th century leftism has stopped young people and some academics from rehashing a fundamentally more radical form of the New Left (because this is many decades after legal equality, so the topic is now equity). So why should conservatives suddenly stop talking about the left wing bias of many journalists and the divorced nature of corporate mass media in light of this? Hell the answer to that usually more whataboutery, what about Fox News?
Maybe we can just settle on the idea that there is ideology on both sides that maybe doesn't enable, but is certainly inseparable from a violent and radical conclusion of the ideas, and then discuss these qualms people have with systems that fuel either side. We do that with Islamic terrorism so I don't see the issue.
