You’ve got to pick your fights carefully or else you get shifted from “independent thinker” to “nutcase.”

In this case, it is clear that Trump has been the target of hate as well as has “unleashed” hate. As to whom is more guilty of name-calling and such, things always get messy in pissing contests. Having said this, it is unfair to one-sidedly blame Trump.

As regard to whether those who don’t love America should leave, that’s not what Trump said. Trump (using the plural incorrectly) said Omar should go to Somalia and advise that Godforsaken country as to the policies she advocates here, and then come back and make her case based on demonstrated success. Napolitano misrepresented what Trump said, and that isn’t fair.

In both cases, Napolitano has tarnished his reputation for fairness and disqualified himself from consideration for judicial appointment.

Now, as for Napolitano formerly saying that those who opposed being drafted should go to Canada (”love it or leave it”), I notice that he did not serve in the military although his lottery number was 110. It appears that he played out college deferments until the draft wound down. His “reconsideration” of his former view might, therefore, be no more than a rationalization of his hypocrisy.

In his youth, Napolitano should have said “America: love it or weasel your way out of the draft.” That would have been honest.

I agree that President Trump has been the target of "hate" because of who he is. However, I disagree that he has "unleashed" hate.

The target of President Trump's tweets are called out for what they "believe" or what they "stand for" i.e. "socialism", not for who they are or their heritage, skin color, gender, etc.

Yes, President Trump can be brutal, but in most instances, the target deserves it.

Other than my comment above, I agree with the rest of your comment.
