I really wish a White House staffer would've surreptitiously recorded Dear Former Leader while

the insurrection was going on. I'll bet he was a lot more excited than they're claiming. I'm sure there was security footage, but I'm also sure it's long gone by now.

1. Pretty sure that would have been impossible.

The first month that Trump installed himself in the WH, all cellphones were collected and denied to their owners while they were "at work". Trump was worried about leaks, just for occasions like this.

2. They got rid of Omarosa

She recorded what was going on.

3. I think he was more excited than reported as well.

Reports indicate he just could not understand why others were concerned and worried.
He was happy, elated and feeling like all his work had at last paid off.
He also gets off when people are in pain or afraid.

Later he references in a public statement how much he loved the mob.
And he doesn't blame them for their anger.
He loved the whole insurrection is my read.

4. Yeah, "borderline enthusiastic" doesn't cut it.
