The meme has been liked nearly 9,000 times and shared 2,400 times as of Monday. In reaction to Mr Trump’s repost, journalist Aaron Rupar sarcastically wrote on Twitter: “rubbing my last 2 brain cells together as I try to remember who ran the government on January 6.”
The former president shared the meme despite a House committee that investigated January 6 declaring Mr Trump the “central cause” of the day’s events. “None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him,” the House panel wrote in its final report.
I mean, technically, yeah… if by “the Government” you mean “the President”.
From tweeting on December 19th: “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there! Will be wild!”
To the actual speech that day demanding they take back the government and that he would march with them…

“Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated.”
or:
“And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”
ending with:
"We’re going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.
So let’s walk down Pennsylvania Avenue."
So… Trump lured everyone there 1/2 a month ahead of time, gave a speech telling everyone that you have to be strong and fight or you won’t have a country anymore, then turned everyone loose on Congress…
“bUt It WaS ThE GOveRnMenT!!”
But, can anyone ever really prove that Trump was the president?
🤔
Yeah! Was he Donald Trump – the person – president? Or was it “Donald Trump” the legal entity? Is his name capitalized on the documents? Was his presidency valid under maritime law?
I believe a lot of them write their names differently as the legal entity, like: ©Donald Trump™
I didn’t expect to see sovereign citizen stuff on this post!
That’d explain why he’s so into birth/berth certificates. Then there’s this photo:
Gold fringes!
Gold fringes on the flag of the country “Donald Trump” was president of? Damn it! We’ve been bamboozled! We aren’t even living in the real United States! We were the sheeple all along, just like they were trying to tell us!
His name is an anagram for “L pond mud rat”. That park is only about 2 hours from D.C., maybe there’s a clue to be uncovered there. Going to need some more yarn and pushpins for my bulletin board to put it all together and it could just be an old rant dump.
Does that technically count as a confession?
Not technically, that is a confession.

It’s not crazy, it’s supposed to make everyone else feel crazy. Jan 6 rioters are “very special and very loved”. They’re an antifa false flag. They’re real American patriots. They’re a government inside job. Constant flipping back and forth of the story.
If you’ve ever had an abusive, narcissistic, gaslighting partner, this is immediately recognizable.
The guy raped E Jean Carroll and his cult worshipers don’t care.
I find it hard to imagine she’s the only one. Given what he himself has said regarding attractive women, about interacting with women he’s attracted to, etc. I’m not going to be surprised at all if more people come forward with allegations at some point
Holy crap. There’ve been so many scandals surrounding trump I entirely forgot he had that many rape allegations back in 2016
That’s because, in their minds they see the judicial system as rigged against him.
(No judges agreed with him that the election was stolen or that he won so “obviously” they’re all democrats or whatever else he calles non cult members now)
If anything, they’d point at the judges ruling in Jean Carroll’s case as an example or how “broken America is”.
Obama just sat there and let 9/11 happen!

We all sat and let 9/11 happen. Guess we’ll all just turn ourselves in. All 300+ million of us.
Obama melted steel beams!
Obama was Building 7!
And he totally bungled the Katrina response!
Thanks, Obama.
Reminder that Steve Bannon frankly confessed Trump’s Start the Steal conspiracy plans to a group of Trump insiders before the election.
https://www.npr.org/2022/07/22/1112138665/jan-6-committee-hearing-transcript
…audio from Trump advisor, Steve Bannon, surfaced from October 31st, 2020, just a few days before the Presidential election.
Let’s listen. [Begin Videotape]
STEVE BANNON: And what Trump’s going to do is declare victory, right? He’s going to declare victory, but that doesn’t mean he’s a winner. He’s just gonna say he’s a winner. The Democrats — more of our people vote early that count. Theirs vote in mail. And so they’re going to have a natural disadvantage and Trump’s going to take advantage — that’s our strategy.
He’s gonna declare himself a winner. So when you wake up Wednesday morning, it’s going to be a firestorm. Also — also if Trump is — if Trump is losing by 10 or 11:00 at night, it’s going to be even crazier. Because he’s gonna sit right there and say they stole it. If Biden’s wining, Trump is going to do some crazy shit.
Did that come out after or around the 2020 election? I could have sworn I read it around then but I can’t seem to find anything from a few searches, everything is current. My memory may be failing but I could have sworn something similar came out around then, unless it was just people guessing. Not that Trump is overly hard to guess, he said he won the first election by more but there was never anything major after he put people on the ‘illegal votes’ task force.
Political commentators were predicting it based off his behavior as well. Remember, he still questions the results of the election he won in 2016
I saw it when I watched the Jan 6 House Committee hearing on 7-22-2022. I do not know when or how the congressional investigative committee received the video.
There are two wolves inside trump. One wolf is a goddamn idiot. The other wolf is an malignant narcissist. Both are chewing on the rotting carcass of his brain.
Its always news worthy when Trump tells the truth
He’s so used to calling things staged fake news he fails to realize that if the riot was staged He’s 1 admitting the riot was a riot and 2 that it was staged by him
He’s a moron, his last two remaining brain cells are fighting for third place.
Two? 😂
The axon and dendrite of the one cell don’t speak to one another anymore, so we have to treat them as two.
The headline should read “TRUMP ADMITS GUILT.”
The headline should read “TRUMP ADMITS GUILT FOR ANOTHER CRIME.”
The most generous interpretation I can think of is that he was talking about the “deep state”, some sort of hidden conspiracy of government workers working against him… by getting Trump himself to support this massive rally that everyone knew was going to turn violent and getting him to use incendiary language that would get people riled up, then also getting him to delay calling in help for as long as possible and even going so far as to get his Secret Service agents to refuse to drive him back to the rioters after he wanted to go back. Either this deep state is super nefarious and tricky… or Trump is just easily manipulated.
It’s called projecting. Everything he’s ever said, done, and/or screwed up, he tries to blame others.
His supporters need to wake up and quit drinking the orange juice.

It’s wild though because I don’t think he’s intending to be disingenuous when he projects. He just thinks this is normal because it’s all he knows.
Personally I think it’s just the usual incoherent right-wing worldview. Their concept of “the government” somehow doesn’t include the president, the military, or law enforcement.
I’ll leave this here:

A broken clock is right twice a day…
To think this idiot is what’s influencing the right of far right in the rest of the world is just fucking sad
Not even surprised
