Terrorist Trump

 

Let’s get this straight: Donald J. Trump masterminded the insurrection. (Not alone, of course. Donnie is a bumbling doofus and needed the nefarious help of Roger Stone, Steve Bannon and Mike Flynn amongst other treasonous, seditious arseholes.) 

However, Donald was the one who championed the cause to over-turn the election and to over-throw the constitutionally based government of the USA. This is the point which everyone seems to tip-toe around. Donald Trump is a domestic terrorist just as the ‘Proud Boy’ Henry ‘Enrique’ Tarrio is a domestic terrorist.

 

Donnie expected his ‘militia’ to be armed and far more dangerous than they were. That explains why he had whined so vociferously about the ‘mags’ (the magnetometers, the metal detectors).

He was correct in saying that the Proud Boys et al. were not there to harm him. He knew they weren’t a threat to him because they undoubtedly had been given a wink and a nod by their ‘handler’ Roger the dirty-trickster Stone to be packing and on the hunt for the Speaker of the House, the VP and other unsympathetic congressional leaders. If the ‘militia’ was armed, then any resistance given by the paltry number of LEOs would be swept away in a trice. Fatalities were without doubt considered and factored into the planned assault to disrupt Congress.

 

Donnie demanded that this coup take place. What else explains the de facto ‘stand-down’ orders which hamstrung the National Guard, the State Police, the DC Police and the Capitol Police. 

This was tantamount to the ‘dog that didn’t bark’. If - a big if – order was to be restored, the Attorney General, the director of Homeland Security and the Pentagon would have been called and directed to quell the riot forthwith. None of that was done, of course, as the most recent testimony in the public hearing of the January 6^th Select Committee revealed.

Where was Donald Trump when the nation was under attack? He was in the private dining room watching the assault on his favorite television channel, Fox News. As former federal prosecutor, Glenn Kirschner, put it, “On January sixth, Donald Trump was not the leader of the country. He was the leader of the coup.”

 

Donnie wanted a coup and very nearly got one.

This cannot and must not be ignored. It could not be more obvious that Trump wanted the coup and wanted the election over-turned. He wanted to remain in power no matter the cost to the nation, his ‘militia’, the Congress or his Vice-President. All of that mattered not a jot or a tittle. He even refused to say that the election was over on the following day, January 7th. All that mattered to Donnie was what Donnie wanted. Donnie wanted to keep his power and his privilege, no matter the cost.

 

As a fear-inducing brain-teaser, imagine if ‘Enrique’ Tarrio, Stewart Rhodes or any of their psychotic gangs had been allowed to keep and bear fire-arms when they assaulted the Capitol? Imagine if the guy who carried the pipe-bombs had done so on that fateful day in January? It would have meant the death knell for the Republic and the imposition of martial law - as Mike Flynn recommended. 

 

Donald J. Trump must be tried as a domestic terrorist and found guilty.
