The media is so desperate to tie the capital gazette attack on Trump that they are latching onto one tweet the killer sent from his twitter account to “prove” Trump inspired them.
And it’s completely misleading:
Shooting suspect Jarrod Ramos does appear to be a Trump supporter. Tweeted positively about a big Trump lawsuit against the media.

He also had sued The Capital and had a longstanding grudge against the paper. pic.twitter.com/8DyG7Lbvj5
The tweet he posted is not a tweet supporting him at all. It’s a warning to the newspaper that Trump often sues people who who insult him. That’s it.

The Annapolis shooting suspect is confirmed as Jarrod Warren Ramos. Six years ago he sued Capital Gazette and lost. But he didn't bother to shoot up the place until after Donald Trump started promoting violence and scapegoating journalists. This is precisely as ugly as we thought

This is reportedly Annapolis shooter Jarrod W. Ramos' twitter account.

He sent this tweet (addressing the Capital Gazette, apparently over their coverage of Trump?) in Sept. 2015. pic.twitter.com/2OAUE70SYm
While Jarrod W Ramos follows no one on Twitter (from his known account) there seem to be a good number of Trump supporters and members of the alt right who follow him. #journalists #capitalgazette

This is an actual tweet from the shooter Jarrod W. Ramos. So to all the MAGAs in my mentions you all can sit down now, because this was inspired by Donald Trump pic.twitter.com/fQG9rXqFzw

This idiot completely hides the context to mislead his gullible followers:
An account allegedly belonging to the Annapolis shooter makes frequent threats toward the paper, refers to "journalist hell," includes multiple Charlie Hebdo references and memes, and warns the paper against calling Donald Trump "unqualified."

Pathetic.
