This is a disgusting message from Trump. Words not strong enough.

"We can't play into the hands of these people" FFS

Trump should’ve been more careful about the forces he unleashed. Once the genie is out of the bottle it’s very difficult to get it back in.

Trump wants this. If he can’t have America he’d rather see it burn. Trump was clearly an unstable narcissist from the beginning. The blame lies with the Republicans who are not unbalanced but thought they could harness this for their benefit. The ramifications of this are going to last a long time.

I just watched Trump’s video open mouthed. Good god.

Such fucking lies and stoking the flames on that tape.

@Lweji

CNN has used the word Terrorists.
So they should!

Trump’s first words “I know your pain...we had an election stolen”.

Trump tells his supporters it was a fraudulent election but they should go home.

could the president be arrested whilst being in office?
president pence for a couple of weeks?

chomalungma · 06/01/2021 21:24

That video by Trump is not going to help at all.

Roominmyhouse · 06/01/2021 21:24

Trumps recorded message, shameful. He is such a total cunt. Still banging on about it being a stolen election. Someone needs to stop him.

RJnomore1 · 06/01/2021 21:24

I don’t believe that 😧

Roussette · 06/01/2021 21:24

God alive.

Trump recorded a message.

"The election was stolen from us
The election was fraudulent
Go home
We can't play into the hands of 'these people'

What people????

I understand but this is what you would expect from countries with a history of instability. Not such a huge democracy with supposed checks and balances.

Donald Trump's four years in office, and his candidacy for the nomination as GOP candidate and then President, have shown that the checks and balances rely far too heavily on mutual respect for those checks and balances. He has actively encouraged the destruction of stability for years. He has run roughshod over all the norms of political life, and has encouraged his supporters to do the same.

The US looks like a huge democracy from a certain distance but up close you realise it's a clumsily put together raft that continues to float only because everyone continues to row desperately in the same direction, by an unspoken mutual agreement. Once significant numbers of people start pulling in different directions the seaworthiness becomes a matter of great concern.

BoreOfWhabylon · 06/01/2021 21:25

Christ alive he's still saying the "landslide election" was stolen!!!!

TheNorthWestPawsage · 06/01/2021 21:25

Trump has completely lost it. That video is appalling. Republicans are as guilty as fuck.

MayYouLiveInInterestingTimes · 06/01/2021 21:25

Who's this woman on CNN making a great deal of sense?

Natsku · 06/01/2021 21:25

Wow his speech, fueling the fire more

That video is gob-smacking.

Oodlenoodle12 · 06/01/2021 21:26

This Trump video is madness! Go home but still re-iterating that it was a fraudulent election and having wound them all up in the first place. Why are the National Guard and the FBI not doing more? It's absolutely disgusting that they've done this and are continuing to do this. I think it's time to drag them all out and lock them up. They can't be allowed to do this any longer.
