Agree. Everyone around Trump, including his son, was advising him. He didn’t seem to be listening to anyone, because it took him hours to make a public statement about what was happening at the Capitol and ask people to leave.
When the dems & media started pushing impeachment, I’m sure several people advised Trump to resign & not go through the process. This recording doesn’t really clear that up.
And how long after Jan 6th was this recording?
Trump made several mistakes that day:
1) Held rally on same day as the vote and Dems took advantage of that fact to infiltrate the rally and get people to head to the capital and turn it into a “mob rally”. Optics is everything. He should have held a rally when Capital was closed. The people being held on charges most likely wouldn’t be in jail or waiting to be sentenced or charged if that had been done.
2) He took way too long to make a speech about what was happening and not condoning it.
