15. He did set them up. He expected antifa & "BLM" to make massive brawls and injure old ladies

so he could invoke the Insurrection Act and do a six state revote with heavy suppression.

Plan B was to let the trumpanzee mob invade the Capitol and frighten Pence and lawmakers into "doing the right thing" corruptly throwing out millions of votes and giving the election to tRump.

That's why he fired Esper Nov 9 2020 and never called the DC NG (Pence had to do it).

He had his loyalist Sund as Chief of Capitol Police for a few years, enough to make that force much more compliant to tRump's whim.



In both plans, he would pay lip service to his base and his goons, which he did by saying he loved the "patriots", and then let them drift in the wind whatever.

He didn't expect it to turn out this way, where everybody on our side of sanity stayed away.

go to the Capital, "I'll walk with you!", then he went & hid in the secure, safe White House. Hope they now realize he doesnt LPOVE THEM. Hell he doesn't even like them!

Let them drag him into the back woods and show him what it's like to be the bender getting the shaft instead of the one sticking it to everyone else.

Sorry, kind of vulgar.

And found the same thing. Seems they are throwing the republican party under the same bus.

10. It took them a while to find out who trump is. He looks out for himself...

only, and maybe Ivanka. Once questions started being raised as to how did the domestic terrorist breach Capitol building security so easily, that maybe it was an inside job...well trump had to save his own skin...at least try to.

But he's not fooling anyone, and finally not some of the magats.

18. I'm not sure why they can't see that letting someone else take the rap for what he wanted done

is his m.o. Remember Michael Cohen? Remember he didn't explicitly demand that his minions disrupt the electoral college proceedings but it's understood that's what he wanted to those who understand his code.

If Pence had tried to please him by rejecting states electoral certificates, imagine the shit that would have come down on Pence's head. Pence was in real danger because he didn't do what Trump wanted and Trump knew it was impossible.

After his abject failure at a coup, he will blame everyone but himself with a pivot to the next big lie. He's the hero of the day. His minions have to be perfect little sado-masochists if they want to remain his good graces. All he's doing is using them and raking in their donations.
