I have not been accepting of any of the Trump agenda. It is because I have never liked bullies. The bully talk has now escalated his “vote-fraud” lies to the point of inciting riots in Washington. I have watched this all day. The formality of the Electoral College vote acceptance was caused to move when the riot spilled into the Senate chambers. Late in the day after 4 PM, the President held a video in the back yard of the Whitehouse telling everyone to go home. The formal acceptance was crushed. The respectful acceptance of his loss has escaped Trump since election day. His destructive rhetoric has come to finish his presidency exactly as it has been; tell them what they want to hear then do what you want through lies and intimidation.
The media and Trump’s PR folks will have some difficulty “covering-up” the mob rule Trump has drummed up. I am sure Trump will blame the “liberal press”.
The next thing will be moving this “liberated” mob out of the Capitol building. Mob behavior can go either way. Trump thinks telling them at 4PM that they should go home will suddenly disband and go home. This too shows his leadership shortcomings as he does not understand the energy and unpredictability of a mob. People are going to be hurt. Our trust in the system is going to be hurt.
Don, of all the things you have done, this is the most despicable.
