He didn't downplay anything. He did what he could with the information he was given and acted accordingly. Democrats and ther MSM have been against him from day one. Also, siege is overplaying the events on the 6th, and he didnt cause that. But by your logic, obama has blood from h1n1, Bush sr has blood from Iran, jr from afganistan, clinton from Bosnia and Kosovo, and every other president before them. BLM and antifa have caused deaths as well, you going to point at them too? Or are you that obsessed with Trump?
