Trump was talked out of his Jan. 6 speech as he didn't really know what to say and planned to berate the media, report says


Donald Trump's aides had persuaded him to cancel a press conference scheduled on the one-year anniversary of the Capitol riot over concerns that the former president lacked a clear message and that the event could result in a backlash of bad publicity, The Washington Post reported.

Citing a person close to the matter, The Post reported that Trump had wanted to make a scene or mock reporters at the event, and didn't know exactly what he wanted his message to be.

"It was going to be awful, awful press," a Trump advisor told the publication, adding that the former president had announced the event without a clear plan.
======================================================
Trump never had a 'clear plan' other than gaining & retaining power & all his toadies bought into that, as did millions of obviously befuddled Americans. His intent was clear: bring mid-20th century fascism to America.

How anyone could become charmed by a despot who boffed porn stars while his wife Malaria was having his kids is beyond me. Jan. 6 was clearly a replay of Hitler's Reichstag Fire with the same intended consequence: seize power when you haven't earned it.
What was Trump going to say? Would he have simply intoned words from Bannon's podcast with Navarro last night, "WE ARE NOT REASONABLE MEN".
 
I'm looking for something similar from CBS/YouGov. Had to stop and paste these. Don't know what to think.

Okay, I guess I missed it. Here's the link.

Good news:

What to think? "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter".
 
Nice straw men you set up there. The GOP is just as “woke” in its own way. Just look at how they allow Trump to enforce conformity to his paranoiac delusions about stolen elections. And Jan 6 is no more irrelevant than 9/11 is. We need to get to the bottom of who set it up and prevent it from happening again, or hopefully discover that it really was a one off, and occurred because of a confluence of events unlikely to be repeated. But just look at the effect it had on the GOP, with republicans who condemned what happened now afraid to recognize it. Nevertheless, I believe as Trump’s crookedness is revealed, the party will move away from him. But he has succeeded in moving it to try to suppress votes, and that damage may take a long time to undo.

I am proud to belong to and support the side that cares about working people, the environment, international cooperation and human rights. Much of the GOP does too. Trumpism was and still is an aberration, a flirtation with a fascist style of politics we will move on from, a phenomenon we will have difficulty explaining to the next generation.

Because there is evidence of voter fraud. There's been evidence of that since elections started. Did you miss the video of the people counting the same ballots over and over and over? It's been posted 1/2 a dozen times or more.
3000 people were killed on 9/11. Only one died on 1/6. More people are injured and killed during a BLM riot.


About Trump. You people bring up Trump and make him out to be more of a threat than Covid. Y'all don't realize that if you'd shut up about Trump, he probably wouldn't have as much support. I've never voted or supported Trump. But the way leftist crybabies are acting, It makes me want to vote for him if he runs. I despise Trump. But I'm starting to hate the progressives even more, because of all your crying.
 
I know. You are desperate to play it down. The evil, criminality, and bigotry of the Republican party was put on display for all to see. Try as you might, you're not going to bully us to forget it. Republicans suck and we're going to be playing videos of the rabid, hateful trump cult breeching the walls of the Capitol and beating cops within an inch of the lives right up until 11/2022 and beyond. If it was really making the left look stupid you'd shut up about it and let us hang ourselves.

So cute when you try to bully people. Keep it up, "tough guy". It's truly adorable :)

The only thing desperate is the progressives and their fear mongering about Trump. Y'all keep crying about him, and the country is liable to make him chancellor.
How would that make you feel? Like maybe you all should've just shut up about him a long time ago, maybe?
 
The left never shuts their mouth about Trump.
Because he's a piece of shit and he needs to be called out. You want us to forget about the disaster that was Trump. We won't, though. Especially since he's on the news nearly every day spreading his lies.

I caught Navarro on TV last night. He is a pro-Trump rabble rousing extremist.

So is about 90% of the elected officials in DC.

Forget about it? No. Move on, yes. Like I said, you people talk about Trump more than his supporters.
No one has forgotten about the titanic, and yet people have moved on. Same as 9/11.

Y'all just beating a dead horse, and sounding like Alex Jones in the process.
 
And yet, I've never heard you tell Trump to shut his mouth.

One precedes the other. Cause and effect. Your "anger" is misplaced.

I've never had a conversation with Trump. But I have corrected a LOT of Trump supporters on their misguided idea's about how great Trump is/was. I've explained many times that Trump was more of a progressive than a conservative. (FACT)

The butt-hurt is strong with this one. *eyeroll*

The Titanic? Don't be weak.

NEVER FORGET VESUVIUS!!!!

Vulcan is pissed. August 23rd...Vulcanalia...August 24th...Vesuvius explodes...I report, you decide.

Here's a tissue.

And yet, only one side bothers you. Sounds like a control issue.

Oh, that's because (very) deep down his supporters are ashamed. They'd rather us forget and move on. Fat chance.

Trump was responsible for Jan 6. Anybody who thinks otherwise is a just a brain dead cultist. You'll just have to sit tight and evaluate the avalanche of damaging evidence, as Trump toadies are made to look like fascists and coup plotters.

You haven't corrected or explained jack shit. You're just another Trump apologist.

The TDS one-trick pony has been performing since 2017. Trumpists are incapable of internalizing any criticism of their god, whether he's in or out of the White House.

They're not in the same boat as Islamic extremists who will behead you for speaking ill of Allah, but the mindset is no different.

What bothers me about the left is the same BS that bothers me about the right. Both of you people won't shut about unimportant crap. You won't stop cheering for the same stupid politicians who lie through their teeth. Neither side wants to focus on anything that's really important. Like the Fed, USD value or the crap FDA allows in our food and drinks (which correlates with the increase in cancer cases)
And when someone does bring up something important, as Trump did with his trade war with China, the other side bashes him for it, simply because he's on the other side of the isle.
If Obama had started a trade war with China, the left would've supported him 100% because it was a way to help bring jobs back to the USA. It wasn't that long ago, maybe when Bill was president, the left used to stand up for the American working class. Now, the left shits on the working class in favor of tranny's, illegals and unions (who do more to push corporations to outsource).
And y'all bitching and complaining about big pharma. Only to grasp onto them like they were a god send over a vaccine that's proven more and more to be completely ineffective. All the while they're making 100's of billions, and tens of thousands are still dying regularly.

Y'all genius for sure.

I can't stand Trump. But despise the progressives even more. Trumps words don't match his actions.
He says he's pro-life, and yet he funds planned parenthood.
He says he's pro-2nd, and yet he bans bump stocks.
He says he's anti-nation building in the middle east, and yet he didn't end one occupation.
He says he's anti-patriot act, and yet he reauthorizes it.
He complained about FISA being used to spy on his campaign, and yet he reauthorizes that too.

He's too dayum progressive for me. The left don't know a gift horse when they see it. And his supporters pay more attention to his words than his actions.
 
Most Americans don't care about 1/6 anymore. It's a dead horse. It happened. And now it's over.
This is a lie. Most Americans believe Democracy is in crisis mode. It's very clear you want the GQP to wash it's hands of the incident, but it's never going away. Forever will there be images and footage of a pro-Trump crowd trying to subvert a largely ceremonial Congressional action. No amount of denial can negate the fact that Trump refused to accept the outcome of a fair and free election.

Obama wouldn't start a trade war with China... that's the difference. That i need to state this tells me... well, not much at all i guess.

You still don't get it, do you? Only you progressive extremist even care about 1/6 now a days. The people who actually went into the capital have all been rounded up. The votes were certified and Biden became the president.

Do you people not understand the metaphor of kicking a dead horse? Or is it the ONLY string you have left? Cancel culture is all but done. Woke has been exposed as still being asleep. Trannies are on the fringe of getting their just rewards (for trying to dominate real women).. You have nothing left but 1/6.
Maybe you should find something about the left to brag about, instead of crying about the right all the damn time.

The right, and a lot of moderate democrats have washed their hands of 1/6. Not a lie.

Politics has to have a false boogey man. And 1/6 is the lefts. Americans are tired of the false boogey men.

Only in your mind.

That's Trump's base.

However, you don't speak for Americans. You only speak for yourself.
