hercuroc.....I’ve done it myself, too many times, but responding to someone that posts something so ridiculous is an utter waste of time. No different than when the covid-shot-cult shows up. Like talking to a door knob.

Initially I was looking forward to watch Pres Trump’s conference. But this might work out in his favor, BIGLY. When your adversaries want to make fools of themselves, it’s best to shut up, stand back and let it happen.

"Thousands of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in the worst assault on Congress since the War of 1812 the 1983 bombing of the Capitol by the 'Resistance Conspiracy,' a group claiming to be fighting 'US imperialism."

FIFY

Trump said in a statement that he would instead discuss many of the same topics he would have addressed at the news conference at a rally in Arizona on Jan. 15.

Makes sense. He won't have to worry about the media creatures asking questions.

-- Did he say why? --

His spox said that Trump decided a press conference would be used against him, press would spin it (as usual). He decided to just go straight to the people at a rally, instead.

Plus he denies the DC press corps a cushy trip to Florida.

I wouldn’t put it past them. Just like COVID, Jan 6th is a religion to them as well.

Good move. Nancy will make a total drama queen @ss of herself, there will be lots of good ways to follow up, ridicule and humiliate her at a later date.

You're correct!

He could have given a pudding recipe and they would have called a call to insurrection.

“Trump was still making his speech when Ray Epps was pulling the barricade down.”

This would be my recommended speech for Trump on Jan 6th, if up to me.

“Thank you, thank you very much, for having me. Ray Epps.”

...and then leave the podium.

Doesn’t he already have a rally planned for around Jan 15th anyway? Leave it at that.

Media won't cover that either.

President Trump did no such thing. In his speech he told them to “peacefully march down to the capitol”. That’s not encouraging his supporters into a trap. The fact is the people who went into the Capitol Building were morons, they got themselves entrapped. They should have listened to the smart Trump supporters who were busy pointing out the feds who were there encouraging people to go into the capitol.

4D Chess? Haven’t you learned? 4D Chess is code for Trump Got Rolled Again. Care to name an instance where the term 4D Chess was thrown around when Trump wasn’t in the process of being rolled? I’m not sure why he cancelled but enough of the 4D Chess silliness.

Discretion is the better part of valor.

I can just picture Trump right now in Mar-a-lago, sitting in his favorite leather armchair, sipping a diet Coke, in front of a roaring fireplace.

Maybe writing his memoirs, maybe cooking up a deal for a new golf course...the gorgeous Melania is sitting opposite on the sofa, reading.

Who, in his right mind, would want to leave this peaceful domestic scenario to go to DC in sub-freezing weather, right after a snowstorm, to give the Demobeasts fodder for their propaganda?

Smart move on Trumps part. Let Pelosi grind and groan it out. Don’t give it any steam.

Exactly. Don’t give power to the lefty/media lies.

Well that’s just it....let Pelosi blow and he’ll respond in his time and place. I love the fact he still keeps them guessing and is unafraid to act however he chooses.

I figure they were spending ‘time’ gearing up to compete with Trumps planned Conference....HAHAHA! Now they have to rework it.

He's going straight to his base. The media won't cover it so nobody but the attendees will hear what he has to say.

Oops...I misread.

The conference was to be in Florida.

Smart of him to cancel anyway.
