US President Donald Trump is responsible for the spread of violence in America because of his discriminatory policies, says a commentator.

Life Malcolm, with the Black People’s Advancement and Defense Organization, told Press TV on Sunday that Trump “did not say a mumbling word” about numerous killings of unarmed black people in the US in recent years but condemned a shooting inside a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which, according to Malcolm, showed his discrimination toward different communities in America.

On Saturday, an individual identified by US authorities as Robert Bowers went on a shooting rampage inside the synagogue in Pittsburgh, killing 11 people and wounding six.

According to CNN, he had reportedly claimed on social media that Jews were helping transport members of migrant caravans to the US.

President Trump has declared that the migrants should not be allowed to enter the country and has deployed troops along the border with Mexico to enact a possible blockage.
