Later that day, Wisconsin state Rep. Ron Tusler was on Facebook claiming mass shootings are down under President Donald Trump.

"Less mass shootings under Trump! His base doesn't hate anyone," declared Tusler, R-Harrison, an attorney and former teacher.

The text accompanied a re-posting of a chart shared by another person that showed 24 mass shootings under President Barack Obama and four shootings under Trump.

That’s quite the disparity.

Thank you. I had a feeling the data was off, but couldn't find a chart, just wikipedia, and one article that wasn't mobile friendly. Everything else was outdated.

No they aren't. There have been 251 shootings in 2019 alone.

Trump wants to change the definition of mass shootings apparently. Not surprising. He’s on the offense. We’ve had a violence problem way before Trump but his hate speech has to stop.

What is he doing besides tweeting, watching Fox News and having all white rallies for votes? Stock market is horrible and the economy is sure to follow. Health care reform is going nowhere. Hate crimes are up in more ways than mass shootings. Farmers are getting screwed and forced to take welfare. What is he doing?
