trump tells his cult the US news media are fake and "the enemy of the people". He's made remarks about being happy if reporters are shot. This leads to incidents like the one below, with two arrested related to a bomb planted on a news vehicle.

From https://kutv.com/news/local/two-men-accused-of-lighting-live-bomb-under-vehicle-in-salt-lake we have "58-year-old Adeeb Nasir and 31-year-old Adil Justice Ahme Nasir"... one real incendiary device under the van, two "hoax weapons of mass destruction" at their home, causing an evacuation while the bomb squad went in, and "additional explosives and “explosive-related components,” firearms, illegal narcotics and other paraphernalia."

I don't want to rush to conclusions about what the motive is, because news outlets report a lot of different things - the names should be searchable and in a week or so we might have some answers.

Regardless of the motives in this attack, the point is that trump's attacks on the press encourage these sorts of attacks.
