Keep ignoring his criminal history.
Take a good GD look at the year 2002.

Here ya' go:
Osmakac was 25 years old on January 7, 2012, when he filmed what the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice would later call a âmartyrdom video.â He was also broke and struggling with mental illness.
After recording this video in a rundown Days Inn in Tampa, Florida, Osmakac prepared to deliver what he thought was a car bomb to a popular Irish bar. According to the government, Osmakac was a dangerous, lone-wolf terrorist who would have bombed the Tampa bar, then headed to a local casino where he would have taken hostages, before finally detonating his suicide vest once police arrived.
But if Osmakac was a terrorist, he was only one in his troubled mind and in the minds of ambitious federal agents. The government could not provide any evidence that he had connections to international terrorists. He didnât have his own weapons. He didnât even have enough money to replace the dead battery in his beat-up, green 1994 Honda Accord.
Osmakac was the target of an elaborately orchestrated FBI sting that involved a paid informant, as well as FBI agents and support staff working on the setup for more than three months. The FBI provided all of the weapons seen in Osmakacâs martyrdom video. The bureau also gave Osmakac the car bomb he allegedly planned to detonate, and even money for a taxi so he could get to where the FBI needed him to go. Osmakac was a deeply disturbed young man, according to several of the psychiatrists and psychologists who examined him before trial. He became a âterroristâ only after the FBI provided the means, opportunity and final prodding necessary to make him one.
How the FBI Created a Terrorist
Cointelpro-type setups are more common than most folk would think. Especially since the MSM doesn't give this aspect much attention, ahem. From Columbia Law School---some of the items listed sound very familiar in this case: Vulnerable Targets: People with Mental, Intellectual Disabilities, Indigent People ......informants with Criminal Histories. Both links are highly recommended reading.
ILLUSION OF JUSTICE Human Rights Abuses in US Terrorism Prosecutions
The parallels to this current story are damn near uncanny and worth considering imo.

and as political as that guy was
A 56 year that suddenly became politically active in 2016. So what was this guy doing for 38 years?
Set the eff up.
Or, nobody in the past 38 years politically had riled this nut job up. I wonder who came around in 2016 that could have caused this guy to get involved?
Trying to ascribe some motive to a crazy person is a ridiculously futile venture.

Debbie Schultz and the DNC? Oh, and Hillary? It's a more likely motivator than Trump.

Keep in mind that Stephen Paddock turned Las Vegas into a war zone killing a multitude of innocent civilians over a year ago and we still don't have the first clue as to any motive or what he was all about. Yet in mere hours we know all there is to know about this "MAGABomber" and what his intentions were in an episode largely played out in the media where there were zero casualties.

A very few scattered here and there and that seems to be about it in politics. A larger percentage in the rank and file of military and law enforcement---not at the top though. You can probably tell by a combination of their consistency and who their enemies are.
