Trump can't ignore stickers on suspect's van, must cool down 'violently aggressive rhetoric'

British commentator Piers Morgan on Friday said President Trump can’t ignore the pro-Trump stickers on the van of the suspected bomb mailer, saying the president must “cool down” his own rhetoric.
A Florida man (Cesar Sayoc Jr., a registered Republican) was arrested Friday in connection with explosive packages mailed to prominent Democrats and CNN this week.

Stickers on the van indicated support for Trump alongside images of prominent Democrats with targets on their faces and phrases like “CNN SUCKS” and “dishonest media.”
“The pipe bomber suspect's van is emblazoned with sinister targets over Trump opponents - some of whom received the bombs,” Morgan tweeted shortly after the suspect’s arrest. “He's obviously a lunatic, but lunatics get triggered.”

Trump on Friday followed his earlier remarks that the bomb scare will halt Republican “momentum” going into the Nov. 6 midterm elections by accusing the media of “blaming” him for the explosive packages.

but he's inexorably heading towards the bunker scene.

If the wonder weapons don't turn things around, surely the Volksturm will.

The media should be calling for his resignation, not "pivoting," not "uniting," not "cooling down."
