Why is Trump paying the J6ers?

[AverageOldGuy]

Is he paying them for their service to him in January 2021 ?

Or . . . is he paying them in advance for their help in 2026/7 and 2028/9 ?

1. Payment

For trouble they got into and to keep them prepared for the next time....

[riversedge]

3. MAGA folks have and will degrade themselves and bow to Trump for Free--but the $$ will help!!

[Norrrm]

5. "Stand back and stand by"

"Stand back and stand by" is a phrase used by Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential debate, instructing the far-right group Proud Boys to wait and be ready for action, rather than taking immediate steps.

2. or is he planning on tossing them a bone and keeping the majority of $$ for himself?

just kidding

if he gets his little hands on that slush fund he won't be paying anyone but himself.
he never paid the people that did work for him

[Mike Niendorff]

4. He's putting the goon squads on the payroll.

And he's robbing the US Treasury to do it.

(* and exempting himself, his family and business associates from having to paying even one penny of the taxes that fund it.)

10. Domestic Terrorists. nt

6. It's a double gilded payment.

Trump says: Thank you for your valiant efforts and be prepared for when I call you out next.

7. I agree but he will get his cut too.

[BlueTsunami2018]

8. He's not. That money is going straight into his pocket.

Like he’d ever give those yokels a penny.

[Cha]

9. Because, Traitor: Fuck you America.

[Raven123]

11. Maybe Trump will file a claim and take the entire fund for himself

Would be Perfectly in character, a middle finger to his supporters, and another FAFO moment. I other words, Thursday.

[Vinca]

12. Probably both. Although, as many have pointed out, most of that money will go into his own pocket.

[hatrack]

13. After he scrapes off his take, he'll use the rest to fund death squads . . .

And after Bubba and TJ and Cletus Catfucker and the other salaried members of Trump Freedom Force murder a few Democratic Senate and House candidates, some reporters and the odd pollworker or six, nary a peep will be heard from the principled leaders of the new Republican Permacongress.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

14. Exactly!

[Johonny]

15. It supports his false narrative that he is innocent

Trump claims the two impeachments found nothing wrong, the Russia investigation was a hoax, that the document case was a hoax, and Jan 6th was a peaceful demonstration in which people did nothing more than the average DC tourist and he absolutely wasn't to blame for it, 2020 was stolen, and he is a victim!

Since all the actual evidence is against him, he wants BS things like this to point to, thinking history will ignore all the bad shit (and not include this as more bad shit) and he will go down as a great president.

This is gaslighting. And it's moronic gaslighting that makes him look exactly like the cheap criminal he fears history will remember him as. Fuck him and his legacy.
