Obviously, senselessly destructive mobs hurting people has nothing to do with America’s founding. How did this dumb, corrupt fool get to one of the highest positions in the government?

Nope. Just a little street theater to scare all you deep state weenies. We’re coming to get you traitors and it will be broadcast on Twitter.
