So does anyone dare ask why all the bombings since Trump?

Now Brussels. If we had had this many attacks on major cities while Obama was president, you know damned well that he's be blamed for every one of them. Maybe terrorists now feel emboldened, because we have a feckless president who doesn't know Brussels from a Brussels sprout? It's getting pretty scary.

I think it has more to do with Europe's policies than ours. The US can only control so much.

we did have this many attacks. It's been escalating these last few years.

Many of the attacks have taken place in the middle east and Asia, but they were also major cities.

And they did blame Obama.

Don't you remember the bombing in the Brussels airport in 2016? It killed 35 and wounded 300+.

Trump certainly isn't helping but I don't think these latest attacks have anything to do with him.

At least this time the only casualty appears to be the terrorist.
