Some of the last words he said before the insurrection were “we have to fight like hell” and “if you don’t fight like hell you’re not going to have a country”.
“They’re not here to hurt me. Let them in. Let my people in,” Trump said, according to Hutchinson. “They can march to the Capitol after the rally is over.”
Also: "I don't effing care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me."
As he tried to pressure the secret service to violate their duties and remove metal detectors from the mall that morning.
Trump knew Proud Boys (bitches) and Oath Keepers (breakers) stashed weapons nearby.
“I’m not an Insurrectionist,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, specifically pointing to his comments on Jan. 6 in which he encouraged supporters to march to the Capitol “peacefully and patriotically.”
And then, when they rioted and broke into the Capitol, like you knew they would, you did nothing to stop them. You could have called in the National Guard. Instead, you told them you loved them. You loved them because they did your bidding.
Not only does his inaction speak volumes, he also tweeted out about Pence "not having courage" and got on the phone to call Senators while the Capitol was being invaded to get them to halt the electoral vote count.
Anyone still have the footage of the Trumps and their accolytes in those tents watching the Jan 6 capital invasion while toasting champagne?
I have the hours of violence recorded in the main archway where they were using siege tactics and human battering rams to try to break through the main doors and the officers blockading it with shields, weapons, and massive amounts of teargas.
One of the people in the White House wrote that he was transfixed by the tv coverage, refused to do anything to interrupt their momentum, and was angry they weren't more aggressive (and also very annoyed that they weren't better dressed / more classy).
hmmm. Sounds like something an insurrectionist would say.
Sounds like something an insurrectionist would did say.
Fixed that for you.
Manson: "I've never killed anyone"
Nixon: "I am not a crook"
Clinton: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.”
I guess he wants us to get it right and say it was a failed coup.
Insurrection: The act or an instance of revolting especially violently against civil or political authority or against an established government.
Coup: A sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group.
It was a violent revolt against political authority. Specifically, congress.
It was an coup attempt via insurrection.
Umm... It was also a coup attempt by him cold calling his Rolodex and demanding they break laws against the federal election process.
Sure, but we're specifically talking about January 6th here.
Trump also claimed Biden is an insurrectionist and a threat to democracy, continuing a pattern in which the former president accuses his opponents and critics of the same thing he is accused of doing.
Curse you, Biden, and you're insurrection via... an infrastructure bill and forgiving some student loans?
"no u"
"No puppet! You're the puppet!"
Jfc, forgot about that.
It's been like a decade of this madness. Also, as bad as all the impending autocracy sounds on paper.. taking a breath the last few years, I feel like we've forgotten what it felt like when he was prez, and nobody will show up to vote
"Well... we did do the hat... and the nose..."
Did he put his hands up with two peace signs when he said it?
This was exactly what I pictured. 😂
Trump also claimed Biden is an insurrectionist and a threat to democracy
It'd be funny if his supporters didn't take this nonsense seriously.
2016:
Clinton: Trump is a Russian agent.
Trump: NO U
2023:
Biden: Trump is an insurrectionist.
Trump: NO U
Truly nothing says wrongfully accused like the "I know you are but what am I?" defense 🙄
Trump is an insurrectionist and everyone who supports him is a traitor
The fact that the supreme court didnt immediately say the president doesn't have immunity for attempting to dismantle our government system is tip toeing treason. Seems clear that insurrection is performed by an enemy of the state. How would delaying such a ruling not be considered giving aid or comfort?
He's an insurrectionist and he stinks like shit. Most important part is to remember how bad he smells though because this shit he's saying now is clearly just to distract from the shit in his pants.
My favorite thing about that is that after Kinzinger told everyone Trump stinks, one of Trumps' people responded by saying that Kinzinger once farted on live TV. Which, you know, is just as bad as a persistent shit smell. Everyone knows that once you fart, that fart stays with you for life.
My god that’s an awful website. I think my phone is going to get cancer from all the ads covering screen.
Expect that soon MAGAcons will be calling for Biden’s impeachment because he smells.
He says a lot of things.
He says little
But in many words
Its so funny a computer can generate an exact monologue like his standard parole/speech
Can it? I would have thought an LLM would be unable to reproduce something that stupid and nonsensical.
He's a sore loser. The very bigliest of losers!
He is the best loser ☝️ There is nobody that lose as YUUUUUUGELY as he can 👌
And on the 6th day, he insurrected.
Insurrected sounds like a penis pill
Don't give him braiding ideas.
braiding ideas.
Trump in cornrows would be a bizarre improvement.
This is literally what I had in mind, except with his gross yellow greasy hair!
Yeah, it was just a quick cut and paste hack.
Didnt try to match skin or hair tones.
One that turns it inside out.
If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck then it must be a duck.
Or a bilingual swan
Ol' Donald "I'm not an insurrectionist, you are" Trump
So peaceful that one person was shot and killed, 138 police officers suffered various injuries, and 4 others committed suicide in subsequent months. And that’s not even all of it…
I'll take things insurrectionist's say for $2000.
[And immediately proceeds to tell one of his InSIRrection stories 🫡]
With tears running down his face.
And condensed feces running down his orangutang orange crack 🍑
Do me a favor: don't Brave/DuckDuckGo
donald trump + arbitrage
Seriously…. Is just entirely incapable of telling the truth?
But it's not an insurrection, it's a sparkling carbonated government overthrow!
Nah, your an insurrection instigator, which is worse.
Says the insurrectionist.
And he's perfectly correct. Insurrections happen from below - Trump was literally the president of the damn country.
No, he's not an insurrectionist. You could make the case that this was an (extremely) bumbling attempt at an autocoup... but it's such an incompetent one that it hardly justifies the word outside of a purely legal framework. He should have asked the dictators from those "shithole countries" he famously disparaged how to do it - they'd show him how properly done autocoups really work.
What I find so strange is that the media in the US doesn't want to talk about what Trump actually did - sicc a white lynch mob on the capitol. That's what it was. Fortunately, it was a very incompetent one - the only people they managed to lynch was some of their fascist besties (ie, police - the institution that protected Trump's fascist enablers from antifa when they were marching in the streets). Yet, for some reason, everybody looks at this and squeals, "insurrection!" instead of calling it what it really is.
insurrection /ĭn″sə-rĕk′shən/
noun
The act or an instance of open revolt against civil authority or a constituted government.
A rising up; uprising.
The act of rising against civil authority or governmental restraint; specifically, the armed resistance of a number of persons to the power of the state; incipient or limited rebellion.
He did all three of those things. He's an insurrectionist.
Trump was the government at the time.
He didn't rise to squat - there was literally nothing above him to "rise" against.
See no.1
No insurrection to see here, Clyde.
No. The president was not the government. He was not a dictator. When the president sends people to the houses of Congress to stop his electoral loss, it is an insurrection.
And what he and his people rose up against was the certification of Joe Biden's electoral win. That is an insurrection.
He’s lying,..again.
Some of the last words he said before the insurrection were “we have to fight like hell” and “if you don’t fight like hell you’re not going to have a country”.
He meant PEACEFUL fighting! /s
Yeah, peaceful removal of metal detectors!

Furthermore- Trump was literally taken off the Colorado ballot due to his responsibility for an insurrection.
I'm sorry, did people break into the Whitehouse or Congress? He's the Executive, not the entire government.
Big Louis XIV energy there.
just because he's bad at it doesn't mean he didn't try
“I DIDN’T rob the bank! The money never left the building before I got arrested!”
The president serves the people, the nation.
The country is not owned by the President.
The President is not a king.
It is not their's to do with as they please.
It is a job.
Your proof of this is what?
No argument from me. It might be a good idea to ask who it is that actually do own it, though.
Kings aren't kings any more.
