Former Guy: "They were hugging and kissing. You don't see that. There's plenty of tape on that."
I've watched the tapes.... I haven't seen a kiss or hug yet.Link to tweet

He chose to remark again on the size of the crowd. “I would venture to say I think it was the largest crowd I had ever spoken [to] before,” Trump said. “It was a loving crowd, too, by the way. There was a lot of love. I’ve heard that from everybody. Many, many people have told me that was a loving crowd. It was too bad, it was too bad that they did that.”
Pressed again, Trump said he had hoped his supporters would show up outside the Capitol but not enter the building. “In all fairness, the Capitol Police were ushering people in,” Trump said. “The Capitol Police were very friendly. They were hugging and kissing. You don’t see that. There’s plenty of tape on that.”
Trump didn’t mention the countless accounts of horrific violence—that of a riotous mob shoving a police officer to the ground, later threatening to shoot him with his own gun, or that of an insurrectionist bashing a flagpole into another police officer’s chest, or that of yet another officer howling in pain as he was compressed in a closing door.
“Personally, what I wanted is what they wanted,” Trump said of the rioters. “They showed up just to show support because I happen to believe the election was rigged at a level like nothing has ever been rigged before. There’s tremendous proof. There’s tremendous proof. Statistically, it wasn’t even possible that [Biden] won. Things such as, if you win Florida and Ohio and Iowa, there’s never been a loss.”

The thought that keeps jumping into my mind is this:
Chump says there is "tremendous proof" that the election was "rigged." And yet, Chump himself was in charge of the government. It was his administration's job to see that the election was carried out in the correct and legal manner, following constitutional law. If the election were truly rigged, then it was his own negligence and mismanagement that caused it.
How can he say that rigging was going on, since he lost? Whenever a corrupt government rigs an election, say in a banana republic or some such, it's always the incumbent that wins, even when he loses. Am I right?
However in every case that has been investigated, there is no fraud, no stolen votes, no rigging of any kind. Not even Republicans can show this, as hard as they've tried. The case is closed and Chump needs to shut the fuck up.
The only thing that CAN be shown is the several attempts at illegal voter suppression that were carried out by the GOP, and that MUST end. However voter suppression isn't really a subject of this book "I Alone Can Fix It."
I suppose this means that Chump has failed at being a Banana Republic Dictator, because he can't even get his own ass re-elected.
Seriously though, these states were NOT rigged. If there had been better organization of mail-in voting in some states, Biden would have won by an even larger margin. It's just more proof that there was no rigging, it was all Chump's lies.
It's too late to bring this up now, but those 4 states that went for Biden in 2020 were probably rigged in 2016. That's why Chump was able to win in 2016. It didn't happen a 2nd time.
