In reply to the discussion: Ex-Pence aide turned Trump critic 'very concerned' about Jan. 6 violence [View all]Grammy23
(5,810 posts)43. tRump is like the bully (actually coward) who incites others to exchange blows. Duke it out.
He gins up an argument and taunts both sides saying, lets you and him fight.
That way he never has a bruise or contusion but stands off to the side encouraging others to do the dirty work for him or in his name. He also sweetens the pot by offering to pay the legal fees if there are any. Notice he isnt offering to serve your sentence if you get convicted of a crime.
He did this repeatedly at his rallies. He wont soil his hands but he sure wants you to get into the fray. Sadly, his minions cannot see they are being used. It speaks loudly to their gullibility and stupidity. I would love to see the judges face in such a situation where the defendant tries to explain why they did it by pointing to tRump and saying, But he told me to do it.

Right, he doesn't know what the constitution is, just knows it stands in his way.

Trump looked disturbed and unhappy coming out of a meeting with Putin. So I think there
