"He Was Fomenting Violence." Grisham On Trump
He was listening to people, conspiracy theorists, and he was putting statements and tweets out there, and Donald Trump knows full well that he has a base of people out there who are willing to do whatever is needed or whatever he suggests to them. He knows he can suggest things and also not have consequences. And I believe this is why leadership in the Republican Party and a lot of Republicans wont speak up. I have to believe that people feel the same way I do but theyre afraid. Theyre afraid to speak up because of the people, you know, like the people that were at the insurrection on January 6th. There is a violent, violent mob out there and watching him push that, you know, through November December was difficult.

(50,314 posts)The speeches were finished and the crowd had been directed to the capital.
Trump and his family were in a big tent with large TV screens showing the assault on the capitol building.
The same thing we were watching.
In the tent, Ivanka and Don Jr were there, along with Don Jr's girlfriend Guilfoyle.
There was loud music blaring and Guilfoyle was dancing with joy at what she was seeing, Americans attacking the capital.
Ivanka was standing next to her Dad, and she at least had the good sense to look stunned at what she was seeing.
