There could be. Nobody knows what these shooters are thinking. Oh wait, I know. They're just evil bastards who like killing people just for the hell of it. That's what they are.

How can there still be so many people who don't understand what is happening?

Trump is a rallying point, not the sole cause, but yes, this is almost certainly political.

Edit:
So, what a lot of people don't seem to know about this (I thought it was common knowledge but apparently not) is that these public shootings are being fueled by an online stochastic terrorist network in which neo-nazis encourage each other to commit violent acts against the general population. They are generally not encouraged to make manifestos, by the way, as those tend to backfire hard. The violence in and of itself is an attempt to destabilize the country. They are hoping to provoke homicidal retaliation from the public, and some of them believe that if tensions escalate, they can use their stocked up weaponry and seize control of the nation through violence (this is on the assumption that the Trump administration will choose to crack down on their opposition rather than the fascists themselves, and this is not unfounded, I suppose). Most, if not all of them, believe that these acts of targeting areas where people congregate will help damage any efforts for the general population to organize and resist them when tensions escalate.

Regardless of how individuals expect things to play out, their end game is obvious enough. They want to kill minorities and any political opponents who might try to stop them. They're not even subtle about it.

Edit: Forgot to mention. Now's a good time to start supporting antifascist action in public discourse even if you don't practice it yourself. These guys love it whenever someone equates their bullet hail to Antifa's freaking milkshakes. This is also why reading their manifestos is important. If you understand what they're trying to do, you inhibit their ability to recruit more people into their network.

Ah yes, it's the argument from incredulity. I see. Here. Let's see what one of the shooters has to say about that in his manifesto, starting 28:50 minutes in:

Edit: God, I forgot how much this guy rambles, but he's the only one I know of who did a video like this so *shrug* Now I remember why I muted it last time.

Because such a thing isn't possible without the government declaring open war on the citizenry.

no man it's okay because in reality mass shootings are incredibly rare. they only accounts for like 0.000005% of total deaths per year in this country so we shouldn't give a shit about them. statistically speaking you have a better chance of dying on an airplane so should we ban airplanes too?

that was all sarcasm and an amalgamation of the bullshit responses people have towards improving gun control or at least trying to do something in response to mass shootings.

Remember when Columbine was the only shooting to ever be talked about? Then after about 8 years Virginia Tech happened. Harris, Klebold and Cho were really the only people synonymous with mass shootings.
They were more frequent with Obama in office, and now even moreso with Trump.
Why do you think this is? Maybe it has to do with Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold being perceived as heroes by many young people, and those people grew up to be mass shooters too. Maybe the changes in political climate could be a cause too.

We have the right to both live and die. If we didn't have the right to live, nobody wouldn't have been born and nobody would exist.

Hey, I'll fully admit that I was wrong on this one. I was quite sure the second shooting was inspired by the first... but this seems more personally motivated rather than ideologically. Judging from what little information I've looked at, he seems to have been a bona fide psychopath with sexual hang-ups, though since he's dead there's no real way of knowing unless he had a therapist or something like that.
