"SNIP......

“Former president Donald Trump said he would issue full pardons and a government apology to rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and violently attacked law enforcement to stop the democratic transfer of power,” the Washington Post reports.

Said Trump: “I mean full pardons with an apology to many.”

He added: “I am financially supporting people that are incredible and they were in my office actually two days ago, so they’re very much in my mind. It’s a disgrace what they’ve done to them. What they’ve done to these people is disgraceful.”

......SNIP"

He had about two weeks in which he could have done it.

Trumpy is dreaming of Coup Redoux - Electric Boogaloo II.

...except this time, in his fevered brain-hole, his MAGAts have tanks and rocket launchers.

Proves almost without doubt, he has totally lost it...(What little he ever had is gone)

You know in a way, it is OK. This proves to most of the entire world, that Donald Trump had gone defunct.

There is nothing up there, & this one proves it. (& no one is advising him what to say)..
To say something like that, is not only irresponsible, it is looney. ......

Just a moment...............Did he really say this?.........Is it someone's idea of a Sept 1, Joke?

NO ONE CAN BE THIS STUPID.............???....EXCEPT DONALD TRUMP...

That tends to happen when you convince them the voting system is a sham and their votes don't count anyway. He needs to throw something out there to try and rile them up and throw a bomb at DOJ at the same time.

Trump sure abandoned them in the aftermath of J6. The self-answering question is 'are they stupid enough to go to jail for Trump's bullshit... again?'
