Oh but that's just Trump being Trump and saying things he doesn't mean to get a rise. .......at least that's what we constantly hear to try and justify his bullshit. It's despicable how that comment always gets swept under the rug by his supporters and others that like to "but both sides...." Trump and treat him like a normal candidate that's comparable to any of his opponents (in primaries and general elections). He's not a normal candidate and never has been. HE'S NOT EVEN A REAL REPUBLICAN!
What should've happened in 2016 is the media and the Republican party should've laughed him out of the candidacy by treating him like the illegitimate joke he is and/or simply ignoring him. He was the only "exciting" choice though for them at that time. Absolute ratings gold. Listening to the likes of Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush etc was as exciting as watching paint dry. This time around though, it's time for them to humiliate him the way he has always deserved to be humiliated. Force everyone to see what a flat out little worthless, scared pussy boy this POS is....well to quote Madonna, maybe "pussy man" is a more appropriate term since he is in fact an old, desperate, declining man.
Anyways, Trump has not only told us his plan but he gave a preview of it from Nov 2020-Jan 2021. The 1/6 attack isn't just about what happened that day, it's the wheels he put in motion prior to and the intent behind it that make it so criminal on his part. The horror of it all is that all of that sounds like a dress rehearsal compared to the propositions in Project 2025. I'd say if you read that and don't raise an eyebrow or it doesn't give you pause, you're probably a bit of a nihilist.
