"Look at All of the People Fighting for Me"

How many were starving before? About the same amount, Islamist. I am a Zionist. You’re right about that
You're being modest

You are a racist.
 
Whether Trump is ever convicted for his role in inspiring the events of January 6th depends a great deal on his state of mind as the riot unfolded. Stephanie Grisham was an eyewitness to his reactions:



Ex-White House Press Secretary: Trump “Gleefully” Watched Insurrection on TV, Hit “Rewind” to Watch People Fighting Again

"The Trumps will no doubt claim Grisham’s recollections are the 'fake news' of a disgruntled employee (who they employed for more than four years) but, inconveniently for them, it trucks with those of Senator Ben Sasse, who said in an interview on January 8, 2021, that senior White House officials had told him that as the insurrection unfolded, 'Trump was walking around the White House confused about why other people on his team weren’t as excited as he was, as you had rioters pushing against Capitol police, trying to get into the building. That was happening. He was delighted.'"

But Pelosi was delighted, she saw her plan to not use National guard worked and gave her a nice spin and smokescreen tactic to use to distract voters.-oops OP premise failed!

Pelosi doesn't control the National Guard, and she was hiding from Trump-loons who were calling for her execution; why would any rational person think that made Nancy "delighted"?

You do realize the protests were across party lines and involved people protesting the lockdowns as well as the elections (which included Bernie's Bros who thought he was robbed again).
 
This is the same President who offered the National Guard to both DC Mayor Bowser and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Why did they decline? Trump also told the people at the rally to go peacefully and protest at the Capitol. Why didn’t Pelosi provide Capitol Hill Police with more resources and backup from DC police force?

^^^ fake news ^^^

DC Guard chief details Pentagon delays during Jan. 6 riot at Capitol

Walker calls restrictions on his ability to deploy his force ‘unusual’​

Scores of District of Columbia National Guardsmen loaded on buses at the Washington Armory and were ready to deploy as pro-Trump rioters breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, but minutes turned into hours as they awaited permission from the Pentagon to move out.

Maj. Gen. William J. Walker, the commander of the D.C. National Guard, told lawmakers Wednesday that written instructions issued ahead of the insurrection from then-acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller and then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy limited his ability to deploy his troops where, as a commander, he felt they were needed.

On Jan. 6, Walker and top officials from the U.S. Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police Department pleaded for permission to send the National Guard to help secure the Capitol during a phone call around 2:22 p.m. with defense officials. But Walker said he didn’t receive the go-ahead to send his troops to the Capitol until just after 5 p.m.

Because the District of Columbia is not a state and thus does not have a governor, the president is the commander in chief of the D.C. National Guard. The chain of command runs down to the Defense secretary and the Army secretary.

‘Unusual’ restrictions​

McCarthy’s written instructions from Jan. 5 required Walker to seek specific permission to deploy a 40-member quick reaction team. McCarthy also required Walker to send him a “concept of operation” before that team could be used.

“Based on the Defense Department’s public timeline, once requested, it took the National Guard over three hours to arrive at the Capitol. Now remember, we were all watching this on CNN, and Fox and MSNBC, and it’s a riot,” the Ohio Republican said. “We need to know why the Pentagon took so long to deploy the National Guard.”

I haven't heard of any Bernie supporters who've been convicted or even charged with crimes related to January 6th, and even if they exist, it doesn't change the fact that Trump waited over three hours to tell his goons to go home.
