Corporate America in cahoots with Trump the Chump. What a hoot. Rich America likes to pretend Donald doesn’t exist. He’s always been bitterly resentful over that. No one is reporting a link between Trump followers and mass shootings because no such link has been established. No news organization would be caught dead not reporting a story like that. It would be HUGE. Being left out of THAT windfall could be fatal…or at the least cost a fortune in advertising losses. Had there been a specific in what you read you would have found your information there, and not be looking for it here. Whattahoot, a news organization killing the story of a mass shooter with Trump ties. LOL. Guess again. ---

Anyone can just spout out nonsense, Twitter is about as trustworthy as Facebook for news. Ask for sources and citations from whoever posted it. I seriously doubt Trump is suppressing much media, he constantly rails against them which probably drives them to dig even harder. ---

The lack of sources is proof of the conspiracy. ---

[David Neiwert Reviews Extremist Murders of 2018](https://www.facebook.com/NowThisJustice/videos/1871322102974289/) This may be what the OP heard about. It’s a video where a journalist lists all of the violent crimes committed by avowed Trump supporters and other right wing extremists in 2018. ---

I see by lack of coverage that the media is ignoring the rampant smallpox epidemic that is ravaging South Dakota, emptying it of its population. They must be in cahoots with WHO and the UN refugee agencies to crate an empty area to move the global refugees into. IOW hard to report on an event that never happened.
