Statement from the President
LAW & JUSTICE
Issued on: January 13, 2021
In light of reports of more demonstrations, I urge that there must be NO violence, NO lawbreaking and NO vandalism of any kind. That is not what I stand for, and it is not what America stands for. I call on ALL Americans to help ease tensions and calm tempers. Thank You.

That was not Trump, that was his PR department. He only communicates by tweet.

Never!
This in itself says he supports the violence.

(25,237 posts)he knows that he can't stop the snowball that he's started rolling downhill.
But the violence that is sure to happen - whether it be in Washington D.C. or in one or more of the 50 State Capitol's that have been designated targets by these traitorous insurgents that he's nurtured with his lies for the last 4 years - he'll be able to declare 'martial law' and say he's still the president.
This is his last hope to 'stop the steal' - except he's the one doing the stealing. Wasn't this Michael Flynn's suggestion to him?
We're not out of the wood's yet with this criminal. Though he only has 7 days left in his term - he's as dangerous as ever. This is why it is so important to remove him from office immediately.
I pray that the preparation and precautions that are being taken in D.C. and around the country will work and prevent any further violence - however - with the National Guard being armed with live ammunition I'm worried that the slightest false move by either side can set off a conflict that will get out of hand.
It was Adam Schiff in his closing arguments from Trump's first impeachment that said (paraphrasing) - if you don't stop him now - he'll be back. Well people - he's back and as dangerous as ever.

Martial law does not alter the fact that the Presidency will change hands at that hour, and any troops who hold dear the oath they swore to defend the Constitution will follow Biden's leadership.

(10,344 posts)There are no "take backs' for what he did and said. We all saw, we all heard and we all remember. So take your attempt at deflection and saving face and shove it up your fat orange ass.
