Trump responded today (on June 15, Beijing time) to the shooting of Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota.
Trump wrote: "I have been briefed on the terrible shooting incident that occurred in Minnesota, which appears to be a targeted attack on state legislators. Our Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are investigating this matter and will fully prosecute all those involved under the law. Such horrific violence is absolutely unacceptable in America. May God bless the great people of Minnesota, it is truly a great place!" (as shown in Figure Two)
The background information shows that Democratic lawmakers Melissa Hortman and State Senator John Hoffman were shot dead on the evening of June 13 local time. Both recently voted in favor of Republicans: Hortman supported abolishing free medical care for illegal immigrants, while Hoffman joined Republicans in passing this bill in the Senate.

[Smart] Comment: The domestic public opinion in the United States has paid close attention to the views on this incident. Many people believe this is the left punishing the "traitors" within their own camp. This view reflects the increasingly severe polarization in American politics and the serious opposition of ideas between different political factions. In recent years, the bloody taste in American politics seems to be gradually intensifying, and the connection between violent incidents and political stance is becoming more obvious. This trend not only disrupts the normal operation of institutions but also poses a huge threat to social stability.
