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

Posted on 01/13/2021 10:49:04 AM PST by Responsibility2nd

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."

It’s like Trump can’t stop conceding now.

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

....

Don’t give me that line of bull sh*t!

Trump was not an innocent bystander when it came to his cabinet picks! He never said a word of protest with regards to his AG selections being hindered by Mitch or anybody else! They were both shitty selections!

For the time being they have won, and its going to get pretty sporty in some areas.

It doesn’t have anything to do with “trusting” Trump, its just what is going to transpire for the moment.
The progs aren’t going to be stopped in the near term, so make sure that you, your family and community are solid.
If you live in a RED State, then do whatever you can to solidify and strengthen it against the crap that is getting ready to start flowing from DC.

Push back on everything/everyone that the progs bring forward, stay on top of the cowards that we elected to office, but it has to start at the state and local level.

If you can, don’t use any of the services or companies that are going full tilt control, find other ways/options, there is always an alternative.

My two cents anyway,
Have a good one.

“ For the time being they have won”

In what way?

They’re acting like they won? Do they buy it?

Antifa/BLM/RevCom will do another false flag.
And all Hell will break loose.

No violence?

Yep, and NO protests either...stay home. Give those thousands of armed troops in Washington the most boring week in their entire lives! But continue to "do the other thing." Stop patronizing companies who are attacking conservatives. Sell any stock holdings you may have. Harden communications. Fill up the pantry. Make a friend of someone on the other side. Save the politics for later. The policies some of these companies have implemented are already having a negative effect from what they've intended.

We've been going about this all wrong. The best way to defeat a strong enemy is from working inside their camp - like they've been doing to us. Co-opt and infiltrate. I'm still thinking this through, needless to say.

All of you thinking persons, think about it. We need a NEW strategy and NEW leaders dedicated to the conservative cause. Some may even have a D next to their name.

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

said, "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"

Trump did by saying "go home in peace"

How many hours later was that?
He was being urged to say something for a long time before he finally did.

Yes, the controls, regulations, discrimination policies that they are going to force through means that they have won.

I’m guessing that we disagree.

The speech yesterday was optics.

He needs us to continue following his lead.

Skipping through the videos, I didn’t see Trump in any video on the referenced FN page. Did I overlook him? Fake news?

Trump says: “NO violence, NO lawbreaking and NO vandalism”

Leftists will report “Trump sends dog whistle for more violence, lawbreaking and vandalism.”

The real message can be heard when it’s played backwards.

What are you a democrat plant?

A television baby?

The only way to control or look at the ending Is to decide to lose.

This does not feel good. It is worrisome trump isn’t telling you exactly how to take it.

Grow up

It’s not negativity. It’s reality. No one has to like it, but the president is trying to get people to settle down.

There are times when you’re in the right and there’s nothing
you can do about it.

Fourteen year old’s favorite line is, “That’s not fair.” Yep, it’s a
hard lesson to take to heart sometimes, even as an adult.

If you will notice, a number of Republicans are trashing Trump
as if he really did order the violence at the capital.

Democrats are universally on board. The MSM is on board.
Even members of his own staff are resigning.

The Supremes have sung their parting shot.

President Donald Trump would be within his rights to do
what some of us would like to see him do, but it would
never be seen from our point of view.

The media would play it up that he was refusing to leave
office. Democrats would say that. Mitt Romney and his
merry band of turncoats would sing harmony.

More of this staff would resign.

A bevvy of retired Military Generals would trash Trump as
if
he were Adolf Hitler. More than a few active generals would
probably refuse to follow the CIC.

Folks, Trump can’t help it that our people were primed by
some of our very own heroes to hate Trump. The NeveryTrump
group was a real thing. Many on Capital Hill bought into
it.

People in the SCOTUS did as well.

Trump hasn’t fared very well with them. Read on to
find out what they preferred than following the rule of
law.

So it would be Trump’s word against all these people. As
angry and vindictive as the Communists are right now, if
Trump did use his full authority, it’s my take he could
very well be executed along with at least some of his
supporters and perhaps even family

Never mind that we as a nation have installed the Fourth Reich.
Folks just aren’t capable of grasping it.

Trump has no choice but to stand down.

There isn’t one chance in any number you can think of,
that he could be able to pull it off.

The guy has gotten the raw end of the deal all the way along.

His own party refused to work with him, and lost the
opportunity of a lifetime.

Instead of Trump leaving a nation protected well into the
future, it is now left in the hands of people who truly are
operating as Adolf Hitler did in the 1930s.

I wish it weren’t so, but it is.

Our only hope these days lies in the hands of the Almighty
God.

You can dismiss this as having a negative attitude if you
like, but it is the reality we face.

It is what it is.
