NFBW: Trump wanted to be with armed supporters and march with them to the Capitol. Were they Patriots, protesters, rioters or insurrectionists? That does not matter because the armed ones were breaking the law in DC to be in possession of a firearm and headed to Congress - Trump wanted the metal detectors taken down so armed supporters would not be caught carrying them.
The President is supposed to be the top
Law enforcement officer in the land so his proper response when hearing some in his crowd were carrying firearms - he first and foremost should have ordered them to be disarmed and arrested, not told to March to the Capitol being armed and he would march with them. END2210132024
