Trump Claims Democrats 'Were Staging a Coup,' Blames Pelosi for Jan. 6 Capitol Attack

[JoeOtterbein]

Source: Mediaite

Donald Trump said he was the victim of an attempted “coup” and claimed Speaker Nancy Pelosi is “responsible” for the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

In an interview with Rob Schmitt of Newsmax that aired on Tuesday night, the 45th president gave viewers a tour of an alternate reality in which he was the victim, rather than the perpetrator of an attempted overthrow.

After listing some his accomplishments as president, Trump declared, “We did a great job, but at the same time we were fighting the radical left on the impeachment hoaxes, which was what? Over a perfect phone call to Ukraine. It was perfect.”

That “perfect” phone call ended up getting Trump impeached. During the call, he told the president of Ukraine that the U.S. would send aid to the country, but Trump added that he wanted its government to investigate the Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, who served on the board of a Ukrainian energy company.

44. Exactly

If it was staged by Democrats .... why is he going to pardon them?

[intheflow]

63. Not throwing everything, just shit. n/t

[Claire Oh Nette]

4. who would attempt a coup

to remove the losing incumbent when that loser is leaving in two weeks?

As logical as democrats disguising themselves as MAGAts to storm the Capitol.

[Ligyron]

30. Or threaten congress and Pence el dick to keep him in power?

Typical Russian tradecraft to throw so many contradictions out there their target audience doesn’t know what to believe.

[Escurumbele]

46. It makes sense...Democrats were protesting that they won, that the count would show Biden the winner

I did the same once, I won the lottery and immediately filed a protest claiming the numbers had not been pulled fairly, that I should have not won the lottery and all those millions that come with it, so I stood in front of the lottery offices, threw stones at them, and then proceeded to rip the ticket...I was so proud...

Of course this is bull, I would never do that, and no one with some sense would believe Democrats invaded the Capitol because their candidate won...in whose mind can that scenario be possible?

[intheflow]

65. Liberal MAGA-dressed rioters who he now wants to pardon.

Logic is not in TFG's DNA.

10. a coup by what? voting?

And Pelosi and the DC mayor did everything possible to protect the Capitol till tfg withdrew the fucking reinforcements on them.

[NBachers]

11. Trump is sending out signals to shoot Pelosi, again. I hope she is well protected.

12. Dummy Coup-Coup says what?...

14. Republicans always ALWAYS project. It's a Hitler thing.

Goebbels always said: "Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty"

[calimary]

23. They've been very devoted students of Instructor Goebbels.

They ALL aced his class.

[mahina]

26. Is that right?

Well this jackass certainly has perfected it. Shameless.

[Cyberologist]

16. He's lying

He's doing the same thing he did in 2015 making outlandish asinine statements to incite his base into a frenzy. He's gotten worse IMO because he's clearly deranged. The republicans goal is to eliminate democracy to set up a tyrannical government, a one party regime.

[Kablooie]

17. Yep. Time for Trump to pull out the old tried and true.

Always, always,ALWAYS accuse your opponent of any crimes you commit.
It doesn’t have to make sense, just do it.
It will always confuse the issue and force your opponent to go on defense.
Now it will become a power chant for his followers and we will hear more repeats of the Democratic coup than the Trump one.

If any of this ever goes to trial there will always be at least one juror who believes Trump lies so it will be impossible to convict him on criminal charges. That’s one reason he keeps them going so the misinformation that protects him will never die away.

[Ligyron]

32. That is the biggest obstacle to us obtaining justice.

I mean, find 12 totally unbiased jurors? Come on…

[SergeStorms]

18. Always the repressed.....

never the oppressor, Donnie is always the poor victim.

Drumpf lies as easily as he takes his next breath. Of course his cult followers will believe every word of it, and sacrifice their money, time, freedom, even their lives to the biggest con man the world has ever seen.

[Evolve Dammit]

47. "the world has ever seen". Given the sphere of influence that goes with being Prez

Even with instant communication Twitter being cut, reducing the number of non-stop lies, he still gets a ton of coverage. So I do think you are right. "May you live in interesting times", some say. I would trade it to have never heard of this sociopath outside of being an obnoxious NYC real estate developer.

[Skittles]

19. so he wants to pardon the people who were trying to make him look bad

[Alien Life Form]

20. Question

If Pelosi was behind this..why does he want to pardon them?

[tclambert]

21. Whenever Trump accuses someone else of wrongdoing, he's actually confessing to a crime he committed.

It's like he doesn't have enough imagination to come up some other crime to accuse people of. Or he's stuck with the grade school argument "I know you are, but what am I?"

Will somebody get off their butts and arrest this guy already?

[duforsure]

25. Agree! That's his pattern exposing himself of HIS crimes,

When he accuses others, and has done this often. Its his tell, and he thinks no one is catching on to it. lol. It also distracts attention away from other stories he doesn't want publicized as much. The media needs to play this up more.

[StocktonNative]

28. The Orange Marmalade Said He will grant pardons to Antifa.

...cause after all they are treated unfairly for attacking the US Capitol.

[twodogsbarking]

33. A little orange man in a spaceship impregnated Trump's mother.

And here we are.

[Evolve Dammit]

48. that would explain some of it...

[MissMillie]

34. the "logic," of course, is BS

If the Speaker didn't do her job in protecting him from the mob (???? they were there fighting for him) then the mob did something wrong. But--he's willing to pardon the mob.

And, oh yeah, the mob was all antifa and undercover FBI.

The lies keep running into each other.

[bucolic_frolic]

35. Howling with laughter at the absurdity of Trump's delusions

He's going round the bend. It's now an uncontrollable personality in overdrive.

[apnu]

36. PROJECTION. It is a requirement for Republicans (nt)

[Cozmo]

64. Exactly! He's such a loser cuz he couldn't pull it off

[Evolve Dammit]

38. Off his meds again. Burn it all down Donnie, you fucking traitor.

[Botany]

39. Trump is doing Russian/Vlad's work w/attacks on Biden and his son, Hunter

He is a corned rat. And is desperately lashing out.



Please if you get a chance read the link below. All of Trump and company's moves are right out of Russia
Hunter Biden, Cancel Culture, the election was rigged by China, the post office was getting dirty ballots,
and on and on. Even now he is doing Russia's work.



Trump is doing Russian/Vlad's work with attacks on Biden and his son, Hunter, were part of this operation


A New Report Adds Evidence That Trump Was a Russian Asset
He helped Putin manipulate the U.S. election in 2020, as he did in 2016.

As to Russia, the report leaves no doubt: In 2020, as in 2016, “President Putin authorized, and a range of Russian government organizations conducted, influence operations” to help Trump and hurt his Democratic opponent. For example, “Shortly after the 2018 midterm elections, Russian intelligence cyber actors attempted to hack organizations primarily affiliated with the Democratic Party.” Then, in late 2019, Russia’s military intelligence service, the GRU, “conducted a phishing campaign against subsidiaries of Burisma holdings, likely in an attempt to gather information related to President Biden’s family.” Throughout the 2020 election, agents “connected to the Russian Federal Security Service,” FSB, planted negative stories about Biden. Internet operatives working for the Kremlin, including the troll farm that had boosted Trump in 2016, continued to promote “Trump and his commentary, including repeating his political messaging.”

Attacks on Biden and his son, Hunter, were part of this operation. Through “US officials and prominent US individuals, some of whom were close to former President Trump and his administration,” the report says Russia’s intelligence services “repeatedly spread unsubstantiated or misleading claims about President Biden and his family’s alleged wrongdoing related to Ukraine.” In this way, Trump’s circle “laundered” the Russian-planted stories, which were then recirculated—and promoted by Russia’s online proxies—as American news.

[Evolve Dammit]

49. maybe those wings will just start flapping and he'll magically go away, like covid did?

[SouthernDem4ever]

74. i wish his mouth would quit flapping, unless he's in prison

then he can yap all he wants.

[Evolve Dammit]

80. yeah, that would be fine

[llashram]

69. Putin's puppet

has been for years...

[Karma13612]

40. For heavens sake,

Me thinks TFG went a little too far using the GQP playbook. I know their modus operandi is to project what they do on to us. But claiming that the Dems staged a coup is absolutely insane.

[samsingh]

41. I'm a Progressive Democrat. If my leaders spoke crazy nonsense like this i would remain

a Progressive Democrat but i would not support them.

trump is a lying traitor that will burn the country down while trying to enrich himself. He is so stupid and incompetent that he would still end up bankrupt after destroying the country.

[Tom Rinaldo]

42. It works for him. It's a sick twist on "false equivalency."

Democrats claim Trump planned a Coup, Trump claims Democrats planned a Coup. The truth must be somewhere in between, right?

[Marthe48]

43. deflection, blame the victim, classic abuse

I hope there are many fewer Chips out there, willing to take traitor's abuse: "Thank you sir, may I have another?" (Animal House)

[oldsoftie]

45. He's losing it further. Just babbling shit to see what gets attention.

He's reading how more republicans now care about the PARTY more than HIM.

[AZLD4Candidate]

50. Gaslighting at its weakest. It only works on a select few that love the Personality Cult

[AllyCat]

51. Typical. Always blaming others for what he, himself, is and was doing.

[pandr32]

52. I think he is sinking his own ship

It is getting harder and harder for his own supporters to ignore the shit show that is their idol. He isn't a tough guy anymore. He isn't talking for them anymore. He can't be their savior because his teflon coating is washing off. They will need to find someone new to represent them. As they watch TFG melt down like a lunatic they will, likely in small groups at first, start to drift away to wait for the next guy.

[Mr. Ected]

53. And now the media will begin its investigation of the Democrats and Pelosi

For their alleged crimes of 1/6. Because that's what they do. They chase Trump's false leads in every direction rather than calling him on his bullshit straight up. They waste time and confuse the public.

For freedom of the press to work, they need a new strategy. Starting with ignoring every single utterance this fascist pig makes.

[Talitha]

54. He's hoping for an asylum instead of a prison?

He's always deflected and projected, but this is nutty enough to send him to a mental facility instead of a prison.

[BadGimp]

56. re: "Nancy Pelosi is "responsible" for the Jan. 6 Capitol attack."

Actually it was...

[Midnight Writer]

57. "Everybody blames me for hitting my wife, but they don't know what she puts me through."

Trump and his followers are in an abusive, toxic relationship.

[BlueIdaho]

59. So - let's say you're a Proud Boy...

And you spent more than you had to get your ass to DC, unfurl your Frump flag, and kick some ass and bust some glass in Nancy Pelosi’s office. And now you hear TFG giving all the credit to the Democrats for raising a little hell in the nation’s capital.

How pissed are you for being thrown under the bus?

[Bayard]

60. I saw Pelosi on Jan 6

Wearing a MAGA hat, and carrying a Confederate flag.

Didn't you?

[CaptainTruth]

61. I'm looking forward to the day when we no longer have to deal with this A-hole.

One day he will be gone... & I will celebrate his absence.

[jmowreader]

62. Oh my...

Christ dude, WE WON THE FUCKING ELECTION!

Let’s see if I got this right: the Democrats, who won both the popular and electoral votes, falsified a bunch of electoral vote certificates and trashed the Capitol to keep the man who won the election from taking the office. Even in Trump’s addled brain that should make no sense.

I swear, before we put this bonehead on trial we need to run him through a CT scanner to determine the level of brain damage he’s endured.

[ificandream]

66. The scary part ...

... is how many of his dumb Donnie Cows believe this bullshit.

[notinkansas]

67. tfg is the most talented person ever in

the art of the lie. The bigger the better.

[mercuryblues]

68. I think he already tried that balloon

and it popped.

[myohmy2]

70. he's...

...fucked in the head...he's a sick son of a bitch...

...and to think this demented asshole had his finger on our nuclear button...

...wow...this country had better wake up before it's too late...

...republican fascists...

[Historic NY]

72. Mental deterioration

[maxsolomon]

73. So, the "Coup" is Impeachment V1.0?

That "coup" method is literally in the Constitution, and the GOP set the precedent for Impeachment with WJC.

Malignant Clown, please fuck off.

[SouthernDem4ever]

75. If Pelosi had staged a coup, you wouldn't see all these crazy asses sitting in congress like

McCarthy, Goetz, MTG, Hawley, etc (add your own there are many more)

[rustysgurl]

76. Insanity

There it is, folks. Lock him up -- hospital, jail, I don't care where -- just so long as he doesn't come within 100 miles of the White House I'll be happy.

[Socal31]

79. I was unfortunate enough to catch 1-2min of his "rally" the other night.

He sounds desperate and scared, imo.
