He’s literally a narcissistic sociopath that can’t process that events exist outside of him. You know how in sims 3 there was a thing where the game didn’t bother processing events outside of the view of character the player controlled, so if you used a mod to track all the characters it looked like everone was just standing doing nothing while the player character was swarmed with activity? That’s how Trump sees the world.
I honestly can't believe Trump is handling this so badly. Sure, it's not GREAT for him, because it's one of his supporters but this is such an easy time for him to show some utterly trivial 'moderation' which wont upset his supporters and will win him praise on the news and earn the Republicans votes. The guy was so obviously crazy that it allows him an easy out to criticize the angry guy living in his van mailing explosivies, while not upsetting his supporters who live in their parents basements shouting on Reddit.
This is a good explanation. (Short version: his base support is built on division, so not only does he not have any reason to moderate, he has a number of reasons not to.)
And Trump himself is incapable of self-control. Nothing about this incident actually changed his mind on anything. He doesn't feel any responsibility or shame (haha, Trump feeling shame) so what exactly was gonna change from last month to now? Nothing.
So all there is is a wait for him to return to normal.
We have established that he's still a garbage human, please talk about actual bombing related stuff.

The MAGAbomber had a hit list of prominent Democrats and Trump opponents that he planned to send bombs to. He started at the top and was working his way down. Other articles have mentioned there were over a hundred names on the list. Also, the mail bombs were staggered, so there might still be more out there that haven't arrived. And that's before copycat attacks, which I expect at any moment now.

If they ever publish the list, copycats will certainly try to finish it. So I'm glad that it doesn't appear that they have.

I am still not over the fact that this guy thought these bombs would actually reach their intended targets AND explode. Like - I get his intent, but did he at no point think that what actually happened is the most likely scenario? That these bombs are found long before they reach their target?

He clearly wasn’t a genius but I don’t think we should take much comfort in the fact that this time we got the equivalent of the underwear bomber rather than Khalid Sheik Mohammed. If enough people buy into terrorism eventually you are going to get one guy who is lucky or competent.
I wish I had a source for this, but I remember years ago reading something that basically talked about how terrorism has a spectacularly high failure rate. Like, even without being caught or captured, there are also terrorism attempts that are just failures because making something that will explode when you want it to is hard.
Like, remember that van full of fertilizer and other explode-y stuff in NYC that didn't explode because the dude bought the non-explode-y fertilizer by accident?
If you're smart enough to make a working remote bomb you probably already have a nice job and a healthy retirement account
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

This is a lot of people's concern about whoever comes after Trump...

Overheard at work today:
Person 1: "You know what would be a really great Halloween costume? Florida Man."
Person 2: "Not this month it wouldn't."
Person 1: "What? ....oh, yeah, good point."

It's not THEIR job to bring peace and unity, it's YOURS.

Eh, Montana would have been just as valid an answer.
Nah, they’d have gone off if it had been Montana.
