https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/26/politics/donald-trump-january-6-rioters-arrests/index.htmlCalling into Fox News on Thursday night, Trump was asked if he was concerned about the US Capitol's beefed up security, including razor-wire fencing, which he derided as "disgraceful" and a "political maneuver."
"It was zero threat, right from the start, it was zero threat. Look, they went in, they shouldn't have done it. Some of them went in, and they are hugging and kissing the police and the guards, you know, they had great relationships," Trump told Fox News' Laura Ingraham. "A lot of the people were waved in, and then they walked in and they walked out."

I mean I know when Trump is hugging and kissing he doesn't take no for an answer, but 140 injured cops is a bit much.

Is this a sign that MF45 is mentally ill and having maniac delusions?
