A number of shooters have claimed a political affiliation. Yes, quite a few have been right wing.
There's been a few left wing nuts, too.
I could not find anything to verify the 83% you posted.
The KKK claim Christianity. Christianity doesn't claim the KKK. ISIS claims to be of Islamic faith. The Islamic faith doesn't claim ISIS
Because some nut says he was inspired by some ideology or even names drops, that doesn't take away from the validity of the actual ideology. The nutjob's skewed version or interpretation of it is almost certainly something no person of the actual ideology would subscribe.
And even as inflammatory as Trump can be, nothing he has ever said could even come close to condoning or wishing for such a monstrosity.
