Drumpf Believed Pence Captured Then Tweeted Eulogy
Trump Believed Pence had been Captured Then Tweeted Pence's EulogyI said Mr. President, they just took the vice president out, Ive got to go,' Tuberville (R-Ala.) told POLITICO on Capitol Hill on Wednesday night, saying he cut the phone call short amid the chaos.
"Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify, USA demands the truth!"
Trump did not know who the they Tuberville was referring to were. Trump was not told, as the media reports, Pence had been evacuated or removed. Tuberville, by his own repeated admissions, said they just took the vice president.
How is Trump, watching the insurrectionist rioters with glee, to understand that? He expected these assholes to take Pence, kill him, Pelosi and others. Why is it assumed that Trump understands they to be Pences Secret Service detail? It is far more likely Trump believed his people, his summoned traitors, had taken Pence. Why would Trump tweet what he did if he believed Pence was under the safe protection of the Secret Service? Trump believed Pence was in the custody of his summoned traitors, being readied to stand before their treasonous kangaroo court.

Pences secret service detail would be in contact. And they would have started shooting if they needed to prevent capture.

Esp. if that tweet immediately followed his speaking to Tuberville. He might not have asked the Secret Service, before tweeting, and he could easily be dumb enough to think the SS detail was just ... taken out or whatever.
Kinda sounds exactly like what a dick like IQ45 would say about someone who was just captured or killed ... at his behest.
MHO.
