Like when Trump said 'I like a guy who can give a good body slam'. If someone went out and body slammed another politician and killed them, I would give Trump almost no blame, and the body slammer the overwhelming majority.

As for who cares, if the killer is mentally challenged/ill, are you really going to give them equal blame?

Ok, that at least clears up your stance on such a topic.

To your second paragraph, who would you give more blame to.  If killer is mentally challenged but the person who ask that person to kill someone and the mentally challenged does, who gets the blame.

I can tell you from my own point of view both still equal to blame.  The only difference is that the person who asked the mental person to commit such a crime should be throw in jail at the least while the mentally challenged person should be taken off the streets until is proven that person is no longer a danger to be used again.  Either neither should be given a pass.

To go back to the Trump phrase I used, in that specific case I would say not only is he still hardly to blame, but the mentally challenged killer is also hardly to blame (assuming this is out of the ordinary and not like the maga bombers history). Now if Trump had said a somewhat similar phrase but in a more direct way, in which it was more clear he was advocating for violence, then that would add more blame to him. If he said that more violent phrase directly to the eventual killer behind closed doors, instead of at a public rally with a crowd, that would add even more blame. If he knew or could easily assume that the eventual killer was mentally challenged/unstable/ill and still fed them the more violent phrase, then the majority if not entirety of the blame would be his. What exactly was said and how it was said would also surely matter, but without getting too specific, that's my view in this case. Now either way, I agree, the mental person needs help regardless and can't be left to their own devices, and as for the initiator, they either get a free pass for the killer interpreting it wrong, or they face the legal system and potentially jail time if they are clearly more to blame.
