Trump calls on Americans, Big Tech to help ensure peaceful transition: 'NO violence'
Fox News ^ | 11-13-2021 | Brooke Singman

EXCLUSIVE: President Trump on Wednesday is calling for "all Americans" to help "ease tensions and calm tempers," saying he does "not" stand for violence "of any kind" -- and he's asking Big Tech to join the effort.

"In light of reports of more demonstrations, I urge that there must be NO violence, NO lawbreaking and NO vandalism of any kind," the president said in a statement to Fox News. "That is not what I stand for and it is not what America stands for. I call on ALL Americans to help ease tensions and calm tempers. Thank You."

A Trump adviser told Fox News the statement will go out as an email from the White House press office. The White House will then attempt to post the statement to all of Trump’s official social media accounts.

The adviser also told Fox News the statement would be posted and distributed through all Trump campaign and political accounts.

"President Trump is asking all Americans to join with him in ensuring that there is an orderly and peaceful transition next week," a senior Trump adviser told Fox News. "President Trump is also asking that Big Tech companies join with him in this effort."

The president’s statement came as the House was debating an article of impeachment against him, saying he incited insurrection, and days after he was permanently suspended from Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

The statement also came just a day after his first public appearance since last week’s Capitol riot, telling reporters he wanted "no violence."

EVERYONE. Please, stop struggling. It will all be over soon. There is NEVER a reason to fight.

Now, please, step into the box car in an orderly fashion.

“ We’re not in a movie. It’s life. It sucks. And then you die. ”

You think Trump thinks this?

You think the Dems are winning??

Are you kidding?

Don’t be a rube. Pick up a book and read about Trump and stop with the negativity.

The Dems hope now is to have some dope start getting violent. You people ruin this by not trusting trump and there will be hell to pay

“ At some point you have to understand he is leaving the country to these people.”

At what particular point is that?

Pick up a book? Negativity?

Denial. You need to learn to deal with it. You should read a book on the different stages of grief. And get past Stage One.

The Republicans COOPERATED with the Big Steal.

The Democrats could not have done it without them.

Trust Trump. There is no way he would leave this country to these people.

Agreed. He says "peaceful transition", but doesn't say from what to what, or from whom to whom. I'm not trying to imply anything one way or the other. Just saying it's not 01/20 yet. A lot can happen within the remaining time.

You are wrong. I could bother to find the link with his remarks promising a peaceful transition, which is conceding, but I’ll leave it to you to keep denying reality.

Face it, FRiend. The Kraken did not show up.

Spot on.. The Democrats hate us, the Republicans are snakes in the grass and will lie to us in a heart beat.

Mainstream spin:

Trump mentions violence in connection with transition, must be impeached retroactive to 2017.

Why are you too obtuse to understand Truth?

You misunderstood. The violence Trump is talking about is coming from the LEFT. They've already killed an innocent Air Force Vet. They intend to kill many more before this coup is over.

These people are like the whiners I was with in the war. Unless the CIC tells them everything he’s going to do next they can’t live.

Do you think Mitch would have let Trump have anyone not on his approved list?

“I urge that there must be NO violence, NO lawbreaking and NO vandalism of any kind,” “”That is not what I stand for and it is not what America stands for. I call on ALL Americans to help ease tensions and calm tempers. Thank You.” “

He should have said this within 10 mins of hearing about what was happening at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and repeated it as necessary.
