Would a normal person sit there and do nothing as a mob attacked police officers? Would they not even bother to call for help?

Let's say you don't blame him for the riot. You insist it was Antifa doing the rioting.

Why did Trump sit there and do nothing for 3 hours? His only tweet was one attacking Pence which only inspired the mob even more.

Can any Trumper explain how you can ignore this sociopathic behavior and still support Trump?
 
They will say he offered, which is questionable,
the NG days before and that lets the Commander In Chief off the hook for protecting the Capitol and those inside doing their constitutional duty the day of the violence......BS that's not how it works when you are the President and CiC.
 
I'm pretty sure we already gave that answer. The first thing he did was brutally attack a secret service agent because he wanted to go lead the assault and then, once he was subdued, he sat around drinking diet Coke and waiting for his minions to bring him the head of Mike Pence.
 
Let's see how the above develops when and IF Trump is pulled into court by Jack Smith. From what I've read, the above is false. Source is his press secretary.
 
Who cares? **** those cops.

Called in the National Guard to protect the Capitol and those inside doing their constitutional duty . As President and CiC it was what he swore an oath to protect.

Protect the capital from what a guided tour some dude with face paint and horns walking around in there?

Maybe the threat just didn't merit the national guard.

The President doesn't have the power to send the National Guard into the Capitol.

NEXT!!

If you get an answer from a Trumper it will be nitpick about the way you phrased your question or a deflection.

It isn't an honest question.

That's also not in the capital. If hardly say picking up a fence requires the national guard.

Fine, but what did he do? He's POTUS. There's a crisis. Police are being injured. What did he do?

We know he tweeted about Mike Pence

Mr. Trump tweeted at 2:24 p.m., after the riot was under way: “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done.”

Trump's Tweet About Pence Seen as Critical Moment During Riot

White House officials described a tweet from then-President Donald Trump as a breaking point that prompted some to decide to resign. Mr. Trump tweeted at 2:24 p.m., after the riot was under way: “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done.” That was a reference to the vice
