Clearing up my misunderstanding, Donald Trump did not say what I thought he said and I have deleted the post.

Mea culpa. Thank you to my fellow DUers for the fact check. Unlike J D Vance, I appreciate being fact checked

I can't find where Weissman said any such thing. onenote Oct 2024 #6

But the fact is, Jack Smith’s report doesn’t claim he said it.

wrong. The text on page 8 is absolutely clear about when and who made that statement. And it wasn't Trump.

Of course truthiness is infecting here as I’ve seen several- “well it sounds like something he’d say” posts…

he didn't actually SAY those words. But I think most of us know that RIOT was exactly what he wanted and got. For which he praised them, time and time again.

Doubt he would have minded the hanging of his own VP as well.

Good though that we try to maintain a level of factual integrity, NOT that the rabble rousing, racist, hate peddling fascist who wants a violent gestspo police state 'purge' of 'third world' cities (i.e. MINORITY POPULATED, for those who can't follow the dog whistles), deserve it.

fit with whatever aide said that. As someone said, Osama Bin Laden did not fly any planes
on Sept. 11th. After the J6 Select Committee's report, Jack Smith's J6 drop today is simply icing on the cake (however, the new info. with the direct conversations between Trump and Pence is solid gold).

NONE of this exonerates Donald Trump. None of it. It implicates him in private, unofficial, illegal, criminal activity. Period.

while he observed the rioters on television while doing nothing about it....

I read the original article about that, and it was not clear to me that it was not quoting Trump, either...

Never fear, no harm done. Kudos for correcting it.

It was shocking how unnecessarily rude some people were and still seem to be. Someone made a mistake. It happens. Peace.
