Another reason trump wouldn't stop the insurrection:

[Ilsa]

His narcissism would not permit it.

The idea that he had control over hundreds of people committing violent crimes for him was probably a wet dream he's had for decades.

He's a narcissist. He'll do it again, given the chance.

1. Totally agreeing with you.

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. Another reason....desperate need to control DoJ.

He hated the job, but it was a necessary act to keep him in power and avoid an unfriendly legal establishment.

[Irish_Dem]

3. He has massive revenge fantasies.

This was a dream come true.
Take over the capitol, kill his enemies.
Retain power and get even more revenge.

4. yep...like a goddamn 5 year old...

[Irish_Dem]

5. Right, he is really stuck in a primitive stage of development

[Ilsa]

7. Amen to that. He's infantile, at times, and

like a toddler at others. Sometimes he seems like a seven year old when he talks about women, "bleeding," etc. His revenge fantasies are childish, and his glee probably gives him a woody.

8. Yes his maturation level is quite young. No higher than 6 or 7 yrs of age.

[Montauk6]

about Korey Wise, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana, Antron McCray and Yusef Salaam.
