Trump egged on what happened today, he left supporters out in the cold for a long time, he spoke for a long time (more boring than his usual stuff), he repeated we’re not gonna take it multiple times after tweeting similar things (qs last past was the song we’re not gonna take it), he hinted that pence was going to betray him (literally minutes later pence tweeted that he would certify the bad votes) then he directed everyone to the capital. There was a bizarre energy he sent out. I’m still trying to wrap my head around it, he did it for a reason. What that reason is, is yet to be seen. Today has been one of the most fucked days of my life. If anything though, today Trump was one of us and he had balls there likes of which no one representing us has ever had. Don’t ever let anyone tell you he did anything other than brave shit today. He was the best of us today. No other rep in dc would ever do anything like what he did ever. I’m bummed people died but to lead like that reminded me of the actual people taking back what was there’s and I’ve only ever seen that in movies.

Was this on purpose to goad the police into opening the barricades for the antifa provocateurs to start trouble?

No idea. I listen to all his rallies so things can kind of run on sometimes and when info isn’t new it isn’t interesting (mind you he promised over and over to bring out bombshells today, and his speech didn’t really have any bombs.) He kept people just enough pissed off. He could’ve dropped a million things. Not complaining just saying I think he had a bigger plan today that no one understands yet.

Perhaps he was intending to, but the fact that he was late leads me to believe that he probably held back for some reason.
