Donald Trump continues to lie without shame, without an outward sense that he wouldn’t know the truth if it punched him in his overfed gut.
He is lying to this day about the remarks he delivered on the morning of 1/6 when he incited what I will take to my grave believing was an insurrection against the U.S. government.
“You’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong,” Trump said. “We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”
The former POTUS told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham that his remarks were “calming.” Do the remarks I posted in the previous paragraph sounding “calming” to you? Well, they weren’t. They aren’t at this moment, either.
Indeed, we continue to learn more about the lengths that Trump traveled to seek to overturn the results of the 2020 election that chose Joe Biden to become president of the United States.
How in the name of rhetorical gimmickry do “calming” remarks produce a crowd reaction such as what occurred on 1/6?
Calming remarks? Not even close!
1st Rule- Don’t trust anyone that defends trump.
Learned that rule long ago.
