Trump causes confusion by sharing meme calling Jan 6 a ‘government staged riot’ even though he was in power
independent.co.uk
The meme has been liked nearly 9,000 times and shared 2,400 times as of Monday. In reaction to Mr Trump’s repost, journalist Aaron Rupar sarcastically wrote on Twitter: “rubbing my last 2 brain cells together as I try to remember who ran the government on January 6.”
The former president shared the meme despite a House committee that investigated January 6 declaring Mr Trump the “central cause” of the day’s events. “None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him,” the House panel wrote in its final report.

Personally I think it's just the usual incoherent right-wing worldview. Their concept of "the government" somehow doesn't include the president, the military, or law enforcement.
It only doesn't include the president when they have an "(R)" next to their name. Otherwise, we're currently living under the brutally totalitarian, yet bumbling and senile, dictatorship of the Biden regime.
edit: goddamnit, lemmy updated it to a circle R registration mark, but you know what I mean.
You're correct of course. How could I have forgotten?
