Publicly invited those thugs to the violent riot whose purpose was to over throw our Constitutional democracy.

He gave the day, the date, the time, and the place for the violence in his invites.

He asked the Sec. of State of Georgia to find 11,780 votes because big things will be happening on 1/6/21 (they have it on tape)

He paid for the violence. https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215802853

He gave a pep talk to the insurrectionists prior to their attack on the Capitol

He had the chief of staff of the White House, Nick Mulvany's niece fill out the paperwork for the permit for his 1/6/21 pep talk prior to the riot

He decapitated the D.C. National Guard so they could not respond to his thugs violence @ the US Capitol

He refused on multiple times to call off his thugs on 1/6/21 ….. Kevin McCarthy & Mike Pence both asked for Trump to call off his thugs and he refused

He let the rioters walk away from their crimes and told them that he loved them and he was proud of them.

... he was hoping for even more violence and the deaths of Speaker Pelosi and Vice President Pence
so he could declare martial law and stop the transition of the power of the Presidency because TFG
was scared shitless of being held accountable for all his crimes, scams, cons, and for working as a
Russian asset too.

his people. Trump was watching television enjoying what his cult members were doing and waiting for the phone call that told him that Pence, Pelosi and whoever else, was dead. He was just waiting and waiting for the news he wanted. That’s why he told McQarthy, that it looks like those people care more about the election than he does. If those insurrectionists had brought their guns and used them, we’d be having a totally different conversation right now. Maybe no conversation.

... out after Ashley Babbit was shot. BTW until he had his acting head of the DoD give a stand down order
to the D.C. National Guard on 1/4/21 they had the authority to respond to things like that riot/insurrection
on their own. And now it turns out others Congressional members of the "free dumb" caucus were calling
Trump on 1/6/21 during the riot and asking him to call it off.

That 1/6/21 attempted coup by Trump was the act of a corned rat.

The order to minimize force was a stumbling block to quashing this nonsense in minutes.
When they broke through the first door, pop, pop, pop would have ended it nearly immediately.
It sure worked at that door when the traitor Babbitt got her just due.

... police hadn't been hamstrung prior to the attack on the Capitol the whole thing would have been
stopped much earlier too. They (police and guardsman) should have gone up the outside of the building
and arrested and cuffed everyone of those Proud Boy and so on scum bags. They should have been
forced to kneel or sit on the concrete or on the Capitol Building's floor and everyone of them should
have been I.D.ed and checked for outstanding warrants too.

* MD's National Guard was there PDQ when they got the ok to help. They could have been on the scene
much earlier too.

BTW I think Trump wanted a bunch of his MAGA thugs killed too so he had another reason to declare martial law.

And before too. He was actively working with Russia to rig the election.

Putin was more successful then he could have ever dreamed in the hurting of America by
installing Trump into the White House.
