Radical terrorists, Muslim or not, also have a mental illness.

But just because a mass shooter is white, doesn't make him a white supremist. But yes, I'd call that mental illness also.

If someone is willing to shoot up a store, concert, movie theater. Or blow it up. Or run down a group of people in a truck. Or go on a stabbing spree....  they need mental help (or remedied via death)

If someone listens to Donald J Trump on TV and decides something he said makes them want to kill people, they have mental illness, regardless of race, creed, nationality, religion, sex, or sexual preference.

But carry on trying to make crazy straw man arguments on how this is Trump and white males fault everywhere.

You're playing a game, I'm not. 

I didn't say the El Paso shooter was a white supremist just because he is white, nor did I say all white mass shooters are white supremists. I did not say this is Trump's or white males' fault everywhere. So you're three misrepresentations, if not outright lies, of what I posted into your game so far. I'll type slower from now on since you're struggling to keep up.

I asked one question you avoided. Is it helpful or hurtful, and responsible leadership, for the POTUS to make a joke and laugh along with a crowd when a follower yells "Shoot them!"?

You tried to deny that mental health is the issue by claiming that non whites are considered terrorists and whites are always saved with the mental health excuse.
I'm saying they are not mutually exclusive. 
One could say foreign terrorist and domestic terrorist I suppose, but that doesn't scream racist like you want it to.

You are making inferences and it is silly for you to try to roll back on it now.

Here's an answer to your very loaded question. It is neither helpful nor hurtful what Trump says (or some nut in one of his crowds say). One person's reaction to such things doesn't matter either.
If you or anyone are so easily influenced, you are the problem, not the person you are listening to.

Be a leader, not a follower.
