Some users gave pretty logical insights on the matter, where they look on the funny side of things where they argued on how innocent games such as Minecraft and Mario could ever be the cause for the social problem.
Adding to that, the Entertainment Software Association has responded to Trump’s claims by saying “More than 165 million Americans enjoy video games, and billions of people play video games worldwide. Yet other societies, where video games are played as avidly, do not contend with the tragic levels of violence that occur in the U.S. Video games contribute to society, from new medical therapies and advancements, educational tools, business innovation, and more”.
