“peacefully”
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!
“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.
hmmm. Sounds like something an insurrectionist would say.
“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.
Manson: "I've never killed anyone"
Nixon: "I am not a crook"
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.
"Well... we did do the hat... and the nose..."
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?
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 🙄
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

If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck then it must be a duck.

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…
[And immediately proceeds to tell one of his InSIRrection stories 🫡]
I'll take things insurrectionist's say for $2000.
Seriously…. Is just entirely incapable of telling the truth?
Nah, your an insurrection instigator, which is worse.
