Trump briefly said some of the right things about the bomb threats. However, he never mentioned the targets by name and never contacted them. He’s a disgrace.
He blames the media for the toxic atmosphere and accepts no responsibility for all of his hateful talk. Just last week, he praised a congressman who was guilty of attacking a reporter.
Trump is doing a campaign rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin. Tweets in this thread.

In Wisconsin, Trump just suggested that the media is to blame for creating the hostile political environment where people send explosive devices to CNN, former Dem officials, and public servants.

"These towns are being liberated," Trump says of ICE and MS-13.
"It's like watching World War II movies," Trump says.
He says that people stand and look out the windows and chant for ICE agents.
What town is being liberated? What operation looks like World War II?— Josh Dawsey (@jdawsey1) October 25, 2018
President Trump in Wisconsin: “When our country is assaulted by thousands and thousands of people marching… We can’t allow that.”

Trump talked about the bombs sent to former public officials at his rally in Wisconsin. But once again he didn’t mention CNN. On top of all that he criticized the “media” for coverage he doesn’t like. And, of course, he took no responsibility for his own rhetoric.

In Wisconsin, Trump opens w/remarks condemning pipe bombs: "We will find those responsible and bring them to justice, hopefully very soon." Then pivots: "The media also has a responsibility to set a civil tone and stop endless hostility." @CNN airs live. @FoxNews, @MSNBC did not
