If the SPLC is the only source of information you have to prove that there has been an increase in hate crimes and that the increase has a direct causal relationship to the rhetoric and election of Donald Trump, then you have nothing.  The SPLC is known for its fraudulent history and erroneous "studies". You would have to cite multiple, truly credible sources  before anyone could honestly accept your claims regarding recent rates respecting hate crimes. 

You might want to look into their methodology, the credentials of the people who produced the reports, the actual data being used and then you have to find out what the basis is for the theory that there is a relationship between Trump and the increase in hate crimes. 

As regards newspaper articles. The main stream media has no credibility at all. Each article has to be analyzed based on its own merits or lack of such. Until journalism  is restored in this country a general reference to news items  proves nothing.
