Check out paragraph 81 of the indictment. One of his co-conspirators was having a discussion with a lawyer; the lawyer said staying in office past January 20 would trigger “riots in every major city in the United States, and the co-conspirator replied, “Well, [lawyer], that’s why there’s an Insurrection Act”.

Does it count as irony if Trump sees a crowd storming The Capitol in an attempt to kill legislators and the Vice President and says "these are patriots" but when he's informed that people will get upset if he breaks democracy and seizes power, he claims that they will be insurrectionists?
