Trump regrets posting video condemning the violence

So he didn't mean it... Shocker!

Impeach AND convict!

-------

President Donald Trump is resisting bipartisan demands he resign from office after the violent insurrection by his supporters resulted in five deaths as they stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.

"At the White House, Mr. Trump struck a defiant tone, insisting that he would remain a potent force in American politics even as aides and allies abandoned him and his post-presidential prospects turned increasingly bleak. Behind closed doors, he made clear that he would not resign and expressed regret about releasing a video on Thursday committing to a peaceful transition of power and condemning the violence at the Capitol that he had egged on a day before," The New York Times reported Friday evening.

Trump posted the video on Twitter, which has subsequently permanently suspended his account. When he tried to tweet from a different account, the tweets were deleted within 10 minutes.

after impeachment if he didn't.

I just read what he said.. did he look like a Hostage when he said it?

I'm guessing he regrets bc he didn't mean it and.. the cult turned on him. Many anyway.

I saw it, and opinions may vary from mine, as being full of a lot of the old nudge nudge wink wink. Sort of like a lousy parent who gets called to the school for their kid's fuckup and pretends to be all upset with the kid, but truthfully couldn't care. He LOVED Wednesday's insurrection. Chaos and confusion...he thrives on them like drugs.
