Trump's "gradualism":
"Nothing happened at the Capitol after I spoke at my great rally on January 6th last year."
"Some Antifa and BLM agitators tried to persuade the MAGA patriots to riot, but they only toured the Capitol."
"Some damage and vandalism was done inside the Capitol, but none of my supporters broke any laws."
"A very few of my supporters used bad judgment and allowed themselves to be led astray by the Antifa and BLM thugs!"
"There was no conspiracy to overthrow the government and no crimes were committed!"
"To the extent that there was a conspiracy or detailed plan to stop the confirmation of electors, I knew nothing of it and certainly took no part in it."
"Who is this Eastman guy who apparently broke some laws?"
And, coming soon: "When I am re-elected, I will declare a federal holiday to be celebrated each January 6th. It will be known as 'MAGA Patriots Day'!"
