Trump Promises an \u2018Irrefutable,\u2019 \u2018Completely Exonerating\u2019 Report on Election Fraud<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The farcical voter fraud fiction that Trump persists in peddling to his cult followers continues to grow in both deceit and decibels. The more dishonest his blather, the louder he bellows. New permutations keep arising from the trash heap of his warped imagination. And the latest is a doozy.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has long justified the violent insurrection in Washington, D.C., on January 6th, 2021, as a reasonable response by citizens outraged by the tales of voter fraud that Trump and his media mouthpieces manufactured. That <em>&#8220;Big Lie&#8221;<\/em> was so egregious that Fox News was forced to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56737\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">settle a defamation lawsuit for nearly a billion dollars<\/a><\/strong> brought by Dominion Voting Systems. And the criminal indictment currently pending against Trump in Washington includes charges related to his incitement of the riot and his neglect in restoring the peace.<\/p>\n<p>Now, a book by Jonathan Karl, <em>&#8220;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/47fzIQX\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tired of Winning<\/a><\/strong>,&#8221;<\/em> includes an interview wherein Trump offers a heretofore unheard account of what happened on January 6th. Apparently Trump believes &#8211; or wants others to believe &#8211; that he was a foiled hero. And Lordy&#8230; Karl has tapes. Trump was recorded saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIf you look at the real size of that crowd, it was never reported correctly. There were &#8211; it\u2019s the biggest crowd I\u2019ve ever spoken in front of by far. By far. That went down to the Washington &#8211; That went back to the Washington Monument.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was going to [go to the Capitol] and then Secret Service said you can\u2019t. And then by the time\u2014 I would have, and then when I get back, I saw &#8211; I wanted to go back. I was thinking about going back during the problem to stop the problem. Doing it myself. Secret Service didn\u2019t like that idea too much.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And I could have done that, and you know what? I would have been very well received. Don\u2019t forget, the people that went to Washington that day, in my opinion, they went because they thought the election was rigged.

Only a brain-dead, cult-indoctrinated, paste-eater could swallow that bullpucky. The evidence provided in testimony, documents, and video, shows that Trump was at the White House cheering on the rioters as they smashed their way into the Capitol, vandalized public property, and terrorized members of Congress and their staffs, in an attempt to obstruct Congress from certifying the election.<\/p>\n<p>When Trump finally did record a video to ostensibly calm the crowd &#8211; nearly three hours after the assault began &#8211; he <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=48197\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">slathered his StormTrumpers with affection<\/a><\/strong>, telling them that he <em>&#8220;loved&#8221;<\/em> them and understood their anger.

He supported the obstruction of Congress and the insurrectionists who engaged in it. To this day he holds those same positions. He recently <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=55590\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">promised to halt the prosecutions of the January 6th mob<\/a><\/strong> if he were to be reelected.

It wasn&#8217;t that a hostile horde of his hooligans were on a frenzied, anti-democratic rampage. It was that Congress was about to certify that Biden had won the election. And in Trump&#8217;s mind he was called not to <em>&#8220;stop the problem,&#8221;<\/em> but to <em>&#8220;Stop the Steal,&#8221;<\/em> which was what his rally at the Ellipse was titled. If he really wanted to go back to the Capitol, it was only to plant a Trump flag and declare himself president-for-life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=58696\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Derangement Spirals Ever Downward as He Impotently Promises to Prove His Innocence<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=57887\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Posts His \u2018Proof\u2019 of Election Fraud in Georgia that Actually Proves Election Integrity<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56421\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Blasts Rupert Murdoch for \u2018Throwing His Anchors Under the Table\u2019 in Election Fraud Lawsuit<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been three years since Donald Trump decisively lost the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden.
