29. Trump's video message to his

Jan 2021

domestic terrorists sympathized with how they felt about the "terrible" action of having their government stolen from them, and then told them to go home in peace.

He is now trying to protect them from arrest because the Guard is on the way. He does not want videos of them being arrested and put down. That would be a "losing" image.

I have every expectation that he will call on them again in the near future to pose a terrorist threat whenever he wants to.
