This wasn’t a case of stalking. Initial reports said a couple police officers were killed, one was reported to be hit with a fire extinguisher and died. Later it was said he was killed with mace. It wasn’t until Trump was long out of office that I was found no officers died from January 6, it was natural causes. And then you have Antifa breaking in windows fighting for who knows what. So let’s bash Trump because he was supposed to pardon everyone in DC on January 6 when he doesn’t know what the hell happened and who the hell they were and there was no time left to figure it all out. You Nevertrumpers are demented and so bad for our country.
Sorry, but I voted for Trump. Twice.
But that doesn't mean I can't bash him when he deserves it. And he deserves bashing for many reasons.
In 2016, I was pleased to vote for Trump.
In 2020, I held my nose when voting for Trump. He was a big disappointment.
He had two years during which he controlled Congress. Two years to fully fund the wall. He didn't do much.
He had two years to reel in Big Tech to prevent the deplatforming of his base. He had plenty of warning by 2017. He did nothing.
In 2020, he should have fought the lockdowns, done more to fight the protests.
As early as 2017, he should have devoted more time to election fraud. People were warning him.
But especially in the latter half of 2020, he should have been laser-focused on election fraud. Instead, he focused much of his last months on Kushner's Abraham Accords. It's as if Kushner was already resigned to Trump losing, and was hurrying through his personal priorities before Trump's (as he saw it) inevitable defeat.
And as a final insult, Trump pardoned hosts of sleazy, well-connected insiders, while he abandoned his supporters.
This wasn’t a case of stalking.
***The vast majority of the demonstrators are charged with something as mundane as trespassing. He could easily pardon everyone for trespassing, and the more serious cases could proceed accordingly.
