在本周末发生两起大规模枪击事件后，周日下午推特上出现了标签#特朗普主义者的趋势，数千名美国人指责唐纳德·特朗普总统涉嫌用其种族言论鼓励针对移民的暴力。
周六，德克萨斯州埃尔帕索市西洛维斯塔购物中心附近的沃尔玛，一名持枪歹徒开枪射击，造成20人死亡，至少26人受伤。当局告诉记者华盛顿邮报他们正在调查据称是枪手写的一份宣言，其中包含强烈的反移民情绪和对克赖斯特彻奇枪手的同情。克赖斯特彻奇枪手是一名澳大利亚枪手，参与了今年早些时候袭击新西兰清真寺，造成49人死亡。
几小时后，周日早上，一名独立枪手在俄亥俄州代顿杀死了9人。
尽管总统谴责这两起枪击事件是“毫无意义的攻击”，并谴责“这些可恨和懦弱的行为”，但2020年民主党候选人和其他各种政治家对于特朗普关于移民的煽动性言论是否助长了埃尔帕索枪击事件中的仇恨和暴力有不同意见。
前德克萨斯州国会议员贝托·奥洛克周六说，特朗普“是一个种族主义者，他在这个国家煽动种族主义”。“这不仅冒犯了我们的感情，还从根本上改变了这个国家的性格，导致了暴力。”
与此同时，白宫代理参谋长米克·马尔瓦尼为总统辩护，称埃尔帕索枪手“在唐纳德·特朗普当选总统之前很久就有这种感觉”
推特用户周日使用标签#特朗普统计者(TrumpsTerrorists)来权衡这个问题，数千人谴责总统涉嫌煽动暴力，一些人为他辩护。

#TRUMPSTERRORISTS TRENDS AS AMERICANS BLAME PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR MASS SHOOTINGS: 'THE BLOOD IS ON HIS HANDS'
Following two mass shootings this weekend, the hashtag #TrumpsTerrorists trended on Twitter on Sunday afternoon, with thousands of Americans blaming President Donald Trump for allegedly encouraging violence against immigrants with his racial rhetoric.
A gunman, identified as 21-year-old Patrick Crusius, opened fire at a Walmart near the Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, Texas on Saturday, leaving 20 dead and at least 26 others injured. Authorities told the Washington Post that they were investigating a manifesto, allegedly written by the shooter, that contains strong anti-immigration sentiments and sympathy for the Christchurch shooter, an Australian gunman involved in attacks on New Zealand mosques that left 49 dead earlier this year.
Hours later, on Sunday morning, a separate shooter killed nine in Dayton, Ohio.
Although the president denounced both shootings as "senseless attacks" and condemned "these hateful and cowardly acts," 2020 Democratic candidates and various other politicians disagreed over whether Trump's inflammatory rhetoric about immigrants had encouraged the hate and violence in the El Paso shooting.
Trump "is a racist and he stokes racism in this country," former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke said on Saturday. "And it does not just offend our sensibilities, it fundamentally changes the character of this country and it leads to violence."
Meanwhile, acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney defended the president, saying the El Paso shooter "felt this way a long time before Donald Trump got elected president."
Twitter users used the hashtag #TrumpsTerrorists on Sunday to weigh in on the issue, with thousands condemning the president for allegedly inciting violence and some defending him.
"Trump is now deleting his tweets calling immigrants an 'invasion' now that he inspired the El Paso shooter to murder 20 people to 'stop the Hispanic invasion of Texas.' Sorry @realDonaldTrump, but the internet is forever. #TrumpsTerrorists," Andrew Wortman tweeted, alongside screenshots of the president's tweets.

"Trump just deleted all of these tweets that called immigrants 'invaders'. Please don't share them everywhere you possibly can.

The president's hands were also photoshopped to be covered in blood.

Some Trump supporters also used the hashtag to defend the president from his opponents.
"Wow... in the wake of 2 horrific mass shootings, leftists have decided to blame everything on President Trump and White People. How can we possibly come together as a nation to help these people when we are being divided like this? #WhiteSupremacistTerrorism #TrumpsTerrorists," author Nick Adams tweeted.
