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."

FWIW, I agree with everything he wrote.
Let’s take a deep breath and give Trump time.
Deep State ain’t going anywhere.
No it is not reality. Trump is asking us to be peaceful. What he is saying is calm down I’ve got this.
Biden has not been sworn in.
All the overgrown children here have to HAVE TO get with reality
It is going to get like hell as the Dems resist.
Stop
Wrong at what???
I made an observation, not a statement of fact. Nor did I suggest a belief I have in a reality one way or the other.
But your comment does suggest you’re a smug, and condescending on-high jack-ass that provokes for enjoyment.
I will appreciate and reason through information, rumor, and propaganda without any help from a clown.
FO! (FR)iend...
I don’t know what someone else must have said that put your panties in a bunch, but I wish you the best at untwisting them.
And also learning how to express yourself.
A television baby?"
Someone confined to Planet Earth.
"The only way to control or look at the ending Is to decide to lose."
This isn't even a sentence.
"This does not feel good. It is worrisome trump isn’t telling you exactly how to take it."
Reality doesn't always feel good.
"Grow up"
Now there's some projection.
The reality is that we have to wait another whole week to see what transpires.
Grow up and take it like a man
What is he going to do? It is checkmate. They won, throw cheating & stealing, yes; but they won.
What would you say if I told you reality was going on... right now?
Grow up and take it like a man
Projection is not an argument. I live on Planet Earth and take reality like a man. I'm urging you to do the same.
“ I hope Trump knows that his decision to not cross the Rubicon will destroy him.”
Well, he probably just wants a life at this point. He has a young son. We really can’t ask more of him than the crap he’s had to put up with already.
I have always said, when you need a revolution, it really doesn’t do any good to elect a president.
Not happening here.....I will not calm down. Not at all.
This isn’t a small thing that happened. Calming down equals acceptance to me. Never
I suggest you all get busy while you’re waiting. Give him some space. He’s working
You expect Dems to give it up and. Like it. It’s do or die for them
His first published book in 1987 was Trump: The Art of the Deal, written by ghostwriter Tony Schwartz.[1][4][5] Trump made a practice of hiring ghostwriters and co-authors to write his books.[6][7][8] In some cases the ghostwriters are credited on the cover, while in other instances, including Time to Get Tough (2011) and Crippled America (2015), Trump makes mention of the writer’s contributions in the acknowledgements sections. Works written by Trump himself include self-help books, personal finance books, political policy treatises, and autobiographies.[1][9]
I’m another Trump supporter who finds it difficult to accept that his response will not include any attempt to overcome the coup. That being said, I recognize the difficulty involved if the military have told him flat out that they won’t support the Insurrection Act.
It’s one thing to say that philosophically that should happen, another to say that it could effectually work as intended and not become an empty and meaningless directive that the necessary military (and judicial) supporters would not move to enforce.
The situation is one of potential rather than actual in terms of a dictatorship replacing the elected government. There are no trains waiting to take dissidents to camps, as far as anyone knows, but how long until that happens? That may depend on the degree of public resistance to the regime.
My suggestion at this point is for President Trump to declare very soon that he is leaving the Republican Party, and seeking to form a third party, my suggested names for it would be
American Freedom Party
American Eagle Party
Conservative-Republican Party
whatever resonates with the base would be great, and then work non-stop on building this party up, with a view towards attracting all of the potential voter base and whatever Republican elected members of Congress or state politicians to join the party. Down the road, if some won’t come over, they could be endorsed by the party and not be faced with a candidate in their specific district or state. This would hopefully hollow out the GOP and make it the third party rather than the Trump party.
This new party should have more specific swamp-draining policies, beyond just a declaration of intent. There should be mandatory forensic audits of all politicians’ finances and the finances of anyone directly related to them. These audits should form the basis of legal actions on the principle of one justice system for all, no exceptions for those who consider themselves too big to fail.
There should also be a policy of non-interaction with China and laws beefed up (they already exist) to prevent elected politicians from taking favors from China.
The party should also be committed to voting reform and strict oversight, wherever possible a return to traditional paper ballots and observed counting at specified times, with any counts made outside the specified times invalidated. There should be very severe legal penalties for voter fraud, up to and including 25 years to life sentences for collusion in multiple cases (100 fraudulent votes should be the threshhold, 50 gets you 15 to 25 years, 10 gets you 5 to 10 etc). One good idea that could be adopted from other parliamentary democracies would be a national election commission with state election commissions required to conform to its general standards, so there could not be locally overseen rogue voting systems as we see in Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Atlanta.
Another policy I think might resonate with many is that residents of large urban areas already have two highly organized and funded levels of government (city and state) so they should perhaps have a lower ratio of federal reps in the House, so that the House of Representatives is less dominated by big city members (who will almost always be far to the left of the rest of the nation). The interests of the twelve largest cities are not often the interests of the whole nation. They are instead very specific to those cities and the governments of those cities have the resources to deal with those policies directly. They have less need for the federal government than most people across the country (albeit the foundation of this party should also be self-reliance and small government).
The rest of the platform would be basically what Trump has been doing or fighting for, less immigration, an end to illegal immigration, tighter border controls, more support for American business, better roads, no climate hysteria.
If we had that project, to build a better political alternative, it would be something positive to be doing in the next two years, with the plan to wheel it out for the 2022 mid-terms and build it up to the 2024 general election.
Trump is asking is th chill out. He has not conceded. Whatever he said was for the sake of peace.
Wait a week. Read up on Trump. Who he is.

I agree, he does not ever specifically say “to Biden”. A few others do the same, including SecDef.
re: not long ago, there was a rearrangement so that special forces reports directly to SecDef to Pres. These 8 guys on the JCOS also report to SecDef to Pres, and they are certain that Biden will be president:
https://rense.com/general96/official-letter.php
“Official Letter from the JCOS attacking Patriots who protested at the capitol, guaranteeing a peaceful transition to Biden, as though they don’t know the election was stolen?”
I do not think their letter is appropriate to their position. Only the CoS of the NG has a position to comment of the events of Jan 6. I always wished President Trump had eradicated the Obamaites from .mil. How sad, how partisan, how cheap, when they could have just remained silent. (Yeah, that’s what I think of you, ahhhhhh.)
Let it go.
I’m glad if Trump can finally let it go.
Only wish he had after Dec 14.
Honestly everything else being the same except a bunch a damn fools ceding moral high ground to of all things commie Dems (in their minds at least), what else really would Trump do? Have a revolt at the inauguration?
Such approaches are as dangerous as any Dem plans.
