Turns out, President Donald J. Trump not only broke alleged comedian Kathy Griffin, but a whole host of others on the left as well.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is getting the better of folks these days as Trump continues to govern as he promised on the campaign trail, with political violence on the rise in America.
While the liberal media cries out, “Squirrel!,” in a weak attempt to shift the focus to alleged right-wing violence, there are a growing number of troubling stories, such as a report out of North Carolina, where a man opened fire on the owner of a rafting business in Western North Carolina, over a pro-Trump banner.
Benjamin Campbell, of Atlanta, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill after allegedly tearing down the banner and then shooting at the business owner, according to WLOS.

Mark Thomas, owner of the Paddle Inn Rafting Company, told WLOS that he saw Campbell on his CCTV cameras exit his Jeep, walk across the road, and tear down the Trump banner. Thomas said he fired two shots into the air from his rifle as a warning, prompting Campbell to fire back several rounds from the road.

And, considering Trump has 3-plus years left in his term, the frustration on the left is sure to grow — here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
These cases of left-wing political violence need to be prosecuted as Civil Rights cases at the Federal level or else they will never end!
Maximum penalties. @AAGDhillon

Can we please just go a single day without a radical leftist terrorist attack? Is that too much to ask for?

5’5” accounting for his shoes. We now know why he has to carry a weapon, but how the hell did he reach that banner? pic.twitter.com/2uGBrLu12Q
