A Show of Force; Democracy Held by a Thread
Insurrection in America
In Tuesday’s House committee testimony. Liz Cheney asked Cassidy Hutchinson why the President wanted to go to the Capital building during the riot. Then she asked, what did he plan to do there?
Let’s say Trump was able to go to the Capital building surrounded by his loyalists with guns. It was the plan, after all.
After his speech on the Ellipse, Trump got into the car and then was told by secret service they were not taking him to the Capital building. He could have walked, but that would involve walking several blocks. It’s damn impossible for him; and apparently the thought never occurred to him.
There are Federal rules preventing a President from coming into the Congressional building. What exactly were Trump’s intentions?
Remember when during the second impeachment trial we learned the rioters had obtained building schematics prior to storming the Capital building? How do you suppose they obtained these schematics?
The plan was a show of force. Remember, he idolizes dictators like Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin.
Trump wanted to look tough. And angry. Well, we already know he is angry and vindictive. At best…
