"He also allegedly said that the best argument against Democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter".
You see, he knew.

Let's get the right perspective on the reality of the issue...

Well, who am I to comment on a British admission of the destructive nature of their Armed Forces regarding civilian properties. Anyway, the right perspective is the very fact that a President is culpable in the storming of the main government buildings. the ravaging and destruction AND five deaths. Nothing can distract from that, not even the burning down of the capital city of a Nation Britain was as war with, 206 and a half years ago.

It's nice to see (if you're quick enough before it get deleted), but Trump has an interesting way of mixing 'I' and 'we'.
One of his last twits, as #POTUS, has "We will not be silenced".

There still two records Trump may achieve!
. first president to be impeached twice . numerical larger but percentagewise a record setting much, really much larger inauguration crowd in Washington D.C. than his successor

There will be more troops guarding the inauguration than the USA has in Afghanistan.

#POTUS placed a video where Trump is asking for unity. No real condemnation it would seem, just the usual reference to 'both sides' needing to drop violence. Oh, and no reference to impeachment or other to be ignored activities. "Whether you're right or left, Democrat or Republican, there never is a reason for violence. ... America is a land with laws and those involved (in the storming of the Capitol) will be prosecuted." Probably totally inrelated "'Stop the Steal' Organizer Says Several GOP Congressmen Helped Plan the Rally" www.yahoo.com/entertainment/stop-steal-organizer-says-several-015900814.html"Mikie Sherrill says unidentified lawmakers led ‘reconnaissance’ tours ahead of Capitol attack" www.yahoo.com/news/mikie-sherrill-says-unidentified-lawmakers-042706364.html

"I didn't invite my supporters to riot" - Trump "Saddam has weapons of mass destruction" - Bush "I didn't have sex with that woman" - Clinton "I didn't know anything about the Watergate burglary: - Nixon "I'm opposed to intervention to help the British" - Roosevelt

I dislike that list as it suggest, if only mildly, that all those presidents are the same and that one lie is like another lie.
It's like hearing some Republicans saying Trump was just a bit unlucky in his word choice when those not Trump supporters felt they were encouraged to visit the Capitol.
IMHO
BTW Trump supporters are really furious about the Trump twitter ban. Problem is that Trump was asking for it for years. Furthermore if his account is unblocked I fear we will hear "see they're afraid of us, we're winning".
