Yeah, the fact that he felt the need to couch his statement just shows his own bias. He’s got a touch of TDS.
I would say a severe case of it.
What matters about January sixth is Trump’s public statement about peaceful and patriotic demonstration and things like this memo which shows he wanted law and order to be maintained. It makes no sense Trump would want his own “fiery but most peaceful protests” because that’s not a good image.
I don’t care what legal strategy he discussed about challenging the certifications, how he felt about Pence. If people really fed misinformation to Trump about fraud or bogus and dead end legal theories in order to personally profit and undermine his credibility they are traitors to his trust. And to the American people’s trust. Let’s not pretend Trump was surrounded by good people throughout his campaigns and presidency.
