Trump Urges Protesters He Incited To ‘Stay Peaceful’ | Talking Points Memo

As usual, Trump is a day late and a dollar . . . and half a brain short.

But then again, I am pretty sure that this riot – and that is exactly what it is – is precisely what Trumpy wanted.

Trump needs to be jailed.

I’m surprised he has cell service in the bunker.

Who took his phone from him?

Are we going to learn that he “choked on a pretzel”?

It’s still incitement to riot even if you later tell the rioters to chill when things get a little too far out of hand.

No, he just waited long enough for things to start burning and then said something, something for the textbooks. This way he can say, see I didn’t want this at all, see I tried, it wasn’t me.

No. He wants this to change the process of electing presidents so he can still be one.

One of many questions is – will the number of arrests and charges come anywhere close to the number of arrests and charges during the civil rights protests last year?

Oh look! Someone else is trying to gild the lily in this situation as well.

This is wrong and not who we are. Be peaceful and use your 1st Amendment rights, but don’t start acting like the other side. We have a country to save and this doesn’t help anyone. https://t.co/3oUAPxuwi9
