That is what Mark Meadows said Trump told him after he came offstage on Jan. 6th, after claiming onstage that he would be with them as they marched to the Capitol.

Much later we found out about the raging hissy fit when Secret Service refused to drive him to the Capitol. He did mean it literally. Claiming figurative language or sarcasm is one of his often-used strategies for weaseling out of blame.
