Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[cubby]

@cubby will this have any effects on the civil cases that are being prepared by the attorney general of NY state against the Trump Organization?

It shouldn't affect them, no. The investigations going on by NY State AG and the Manhattan DA's office are all regarding past actions.

"I denounce the violence I personally instigated, a full week after the fact. Now, put me back on Twitter."

Exactly. This is a man-child trying to placate their parent after they have been caught stealing from the cookie jar (and then burning it to the ground). Contrition like this, after the punishment, is yet another sign of Trump's complete inability to acknowledge his wrongful (deplorable) acts.

[Poopymonster]

Unless his argument is that impeachment is so emotionally draining that Trump will die if it follows through... I don’t understand why he is talking.

...say it again, this time, in a husky voice for me.

[Valkyrst]

Keep him banned on Twitter after this apology and watch him walk it back. ‘I was never really sorry anyway!’

[Poopymonster]

In case anyone missed it when he read it out:

In a statement released by the White House, President Trump said, "In light of reports of more demonstrations, I urge that there must be NO violence, NO lawbreaking and NO vandalism of any kind. That is not what I stand for and it is not what America stands for. I call on ALL Americans to help ease tensions and calm tempers. Thank You."

Sounds more like Trump trying to save his ass from impeachment...

Too coherent, too on topic, no rambling.
0/10, would not believe, not enough MAGA.

You need to call a psychic and a numerologist... QAnon knows what he really said... how are we supposed to unite as a nation, when we don’t follow the logic of the other side?

I have just 3 letters for you... C... G... Eye... notice the signature Kubrick style... not a single woman in the video... just like the moon landing...

The man has moments, the tell that it's him is the "I call on ALL Americans..." bit. We all know who's responsible, but it's up to everyone to settle down. No, I don't think so. Easing up on the people who just attempted a fucking coup is the last thing I'm going to do.

Because that's what this message really says to those people. "If you're listening, I'm telling everyone else to chill the fuck out on your asses, because I don't think so badly of you in specific, it's everyone else's job to ease up."

[Winter Blossom]

In case anyone missed it, the White House just released a video speech starring the Orange Man himself.

Stopped watching after he brought up the attack on free speech... cause that’s not what happened to him.

Cry some more, Donald.

You got it, dude:

[dextersmith]

Now he condemns the violence. Too little, too late. Wonder if his minions feels betrayed.

[Paranoid Android]

“Donald Trump belongs in jail.”

Ex-FBI Director @Comey says while he “obviously believes” the president should be in jail, he doesn’t think “pursuing that is in the best interests of the American people”, adding Joe Biden should "consider" pardoning Donald Trump

James Comey gtfo. You really have some bad takes.

The "DEEP STATE!"(tm) finally got to him.

Now he'll be forever known as Deep State Donald.

Only to save his ass legally. Trust me his lawyers are scaring the shit out him with criminal prosecution.

Upon winning the election 4 years ago, he couldn't stop talking about setting records. He's uncharacteristically quiet now.

Republican Trumpers are the party of Snowflake Freedumb.

Capitol police need to start treating them as law enforcement would treat anyone normally trying to circumvent a metal detector at a secure location.

Seriously, until we see someone like Mo Brooks get bodied and detained by a Capitol police officer, I don't think this is gonna change.

He’s got a new record. Elected once, impeached twice. Can’t stop winning.

Parler is down, but ParlerTakes on Twitter has been scraping some choice messages from other services. This one in particular tells me at least some aren't taking it well.

He did 95% of his ranting on Twitter. I doubt he's being quiet. He just lost access to his favorite platform for wild, lunatic ravings.

[Breccia]

Trump kicked off Snapchat.

Man, social media really wants to 100% this. They already completed the Twitter main quest, now they're going back for sidequests Facebook, Instagram, Twitch, YouTube, Snapchat etc. Any second now we'll see a trophy pop up.

I just wanna know when Geocities is gonna ban him.

[Corvus]

So, according to one news report I read, there are some on the far-right claiming Trump's video is actually a deepfake.
