  1. Trump sat in the White House, and watched the vio.lence taking place on our nation's Capitol for at least two whole hours, without doing anything, and without saying a word, other than to lambast his own Vice President, who eventually had to flee for his life from the Capitol. Watching his cult storm the Capitol while wearing his hats and waving flags emblazoned with his name, was the greatest day of Trump's presidency. He has never felt more like the dictator he's always wanted to be, than he did on that day.

  2. The truth of the matter is, if Trump had not filled his followers heads with lies for months, and if he had not held that rally, where he instructed his followers to march to the Capitol and fight like he// in order to "stop the steal" the insurrection never would have happened. Because without the use of vio.lence, how else were they going to stop the so called steal? The problem with Trump's lawyer's argument, is that there was literally nothing left to fight for, because the election was over. The only thing that remained was for Pence to count and certify the electoral votes. So the only thing they could've been fighting for, was to bring a stop to the counting of the electoral votes, which would officially certify Biden as the next democratically elected president. And vio.lence was the only option they had left. Trump had already exhausted every other illegal and unconstitutional option. So on January 6, the vio.lence card was the only card Trump had left.
