Does anyone recognize the man in this hostage video? It looks like Donald Trump, but everything the person said in this concession speech contradicts everything Trump is and has been about.
First the man in this video condemns the violence that happened at the U.S. Capital on Wednesday, but Trump, along with his son Eric Trump and Rudy Giuliani, actually incited the violence on Wednesday by working rioters into a frenzy before telling them to march on down to the capital. The rioters followed the instructions immediately and stormed the capital, leaving several people dead, including at least one Capital Police officer who died of his injuries last night after he was struck in the head with a fire extinguisher by a member of the Trump mob.
The schizophrenic person in this video, who clearly is grappling with multiple personalities, asks for calm after a difficult and hard-fought election. Really? It is Trump who has stoked the anger among his supporters having spent the last three months telling them the election was stolen from him, and by extension, them. He has fomented the lies that dead people all over the country have voted and imaginary fake ballots were being dumped in states across the nation and all the other conspiracy theories he has trafficked in regarding the election.
Also after getting these people all in a lather to go commit acts of violence, he is now turning on them in true Trump fashion. Make no mistake, these traitors and rioters who attacked the Capital deserve no quarter. They are criminals and in some cases murderers, but they committed these acts in Trump's name and at his direction, and now he says that what happened is unacceptable and they should be prosecuted. Yes Trump mob, Dumbo sold you out. I wish I could say I was shocked, but I am not. Ask Michael Cohen about how that feels.
Finally, the same person who was giddy on Wednesday watching the violence he incited play out on television, did nothing to protect the vice president of the United States and the members of Congress - Republican and Democrat - who were in grave danger. Unlike, what he says in this video, he did not immediately deploy the National Guard. In fact, it took hours to get the guard authorization to move to protect the capital. See below.
This person, who claimed to be the "law and order President," has proven himself a fraud again. The violence he stoked led to the death of at least one officer. His supporters, who claimed to be for him because he supported law enforcement and the rule of law, are also frauds if they continue to support him after Wednesday's insurrection. Not to mention the criminals who committed these vile acts on Wednesday. Those people often cited the so-called violence committed by the "radical left" as a reason they worshipped this President, and then they went out and committed the most egregious of acts in the name of this same President. They bemoaned the destruction of property when the looters did it during the riots this past summer, and then they go and break windows in the Capital building and ransack the place. There were pipe bombs that had to be detonated by police. This is the epitome of hypocrisy.
These rioters were armed and could have killed members of Congress. Your three to four-minute video of a speech someone else wrote to try to absolve you of this Trump is not enough.
What should be done about all this? Trump, if he was human, should immediately resign. But he will not because he is not. Vice President Mike Pence, a Trump sycophant, should vote along with the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment of the Constitution to strip Trump of his powers until Joe Biden can assume office. But of course, Pence will not do that. Since neither of these will happen, the next step should be that Eric Trump and Giuliani should be arrested today and booked, and on January 21st former President Trump should be arrested as well and charged with inciting a riot - in addition to all the other crimes he's committed, including the crime of trying to engineer election fraud in the state of Georgia just one day before committing this criminal act in D.C.
