In reply to the discussion: Alex Jones Says His Orders for the January 6th Insurrection Came from Trump [View all]Grammy23
(5,807 posts)was classic tRump operating procedure? He orchestrates things from a safe distance. He gives orders through other people and tries to build a wall of protection between himself and the perpetrators. A buffer to give him some plausible deniability. He plots and plans, builds the energy and loyalty to him. Gins up their willingness to do his bidding.
Then he sets things in motion after getting them to a fever pitch. He pulls the plug on actually participating at the Capitol and goes back to the White House to watch it all unfold. He keeps a safe distance, protected by Secret Service and gleefully anticipates being declared the winner in the election. Only after he witnessed how badly it turned out did he tell them to retreat and go home. And that effort took several tapings because he could not admit they failed in their efforts to stop Congress and Pence. He was only too happy to leave others holding the bag.
It is classic tRump and anyone who doesnt understand that is just being stubbornly, willfully blind.
He is a dangerous man who deserves to rot in prison for what he did.
