After a week of conspicuous silence since the Trump Insurrectionists assaulted Congress, Donald Trump finally made a few self-serving remarks to the press on his way to a photo-op with his holey border wall that Mexico didn’t pay for. It was typical of Trump’s exploitation of the media to exalt himself and malign his foes.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

The first of his comments came while leaving the White House. He called the new moves by Congress to impeach him “a continuation of the greatest witch hunt in the history of politics,”<\/em> and complained that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are “causing tremendous danger to our country, and it\u2019s causing tremendous anger.”<\/em> That’s coming from someone who fired up a dangerously overheated mob by telling them that “we fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore”<\/em><\/p>\n

So Trump is issuing a warning that any effort to hold him accountable for his inflammatory rhetoric that inspired a mob of coup plotters would result in further violence by the same deviant mob. It’s not unlike a Mafioso threat to comply lest something terrible happen to your lovely shop. It’s demanding capitulation to a terrorist threat.<\/p>\n

Trump addressed the press again later to elaborate on his threats of rising anger among the troops of his seditious army. After lashing out at the “horrible things”<\/em> “Big Tech”<\/em> is doing, he wrapped himself in the warm fuzziness of what he imagines is “support probably like nobody’s ever seen before.”<\/em> He’s actually kind of right. His support is currently at a record low<\/a><\/strong> of 33% and majorities say he should be removed from office or resign. And it isn’t going to improve with more dishonest and utterly incoherent exchanges like this one:<\/p>\n

Reporter:<\/strong> What is your role in what happened at the Capitol? What is your personal responsibility?
\nTrump:<\/strong> So if you read my speech – and many people have done it and I’ve seen it, both in the papers and in the media on television. It’s been analyzed, and people thought that what I said was totally appropriate. And if you look at what other people have said, politicians at a high level, about the riots during the summer, the horrible riots in Portland and Seattle and various other places, that was a real problem, what they said. But they’ve analyzed my speech and my words and my final paragraph, my final sentence. And everybody, to the tee, thought it was totally appropriate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
