Trump’s conflicting responses amid global recognition that the Democratic candidate Joe biden won the election and is now president-elect emerged even as Washington DC was rocked by bloody violence in clashes between Trump’s MAGA supporters, who demonstrated in the capital in support of the president’s view that the elections were ” stolen, “and Antifa activists who believe it is Trump who is trying to subvert the mandate of the people.
A series of tweets in which the president accused Antifa of instigating violence while glorifying retaliation led to demands that his account be deactivated by Twitter, which continued to flag many of his tweets for lies, misrepresentations and fraudulent claims.
Both parties, Trump’s MAGA flock and Antifa activists, posted videos to show that the other party unleashed the violence. But the president of the United States, instead of condemning the fighting without regard to affiliation and calling for peace, tweeted: “ANTIFA SCUM ran into the hills today when they tried to attack people at the Trump Rally, because those people were defended aggressively. Antifa waited until tonight, when 99% were gone, to attack innocent people from #MAGA. DC Police, go ahead, do your job and don’t hold back! ”
The videos showed that “MAGA People” was far from innocent, with some videos showing some of them instigating violence. In addition to not having a mask at the time of Covid’s resurgence, several appeared to belong to the extremist group Proud Boys, classified as a hate group by the FBI, but which Trump believes are patriots. Dubbed the “MillionMAGAMarch” (and ridiculed by counter-protesters as “MillionMoronMarch”), the rally drew between 10,000 and 20,000 people.
“Hundreds of thousands of people showing their support in DC. They will not stand in a rigged and corrupt election! “Trump rejoiced at the rally, before evaluating it and complaining:” The fake news media barely discussed the tens of thousands of people who came to DC. Organically trained, and in many parts of the country! ”
He passed the rally without stopping on his way to play golf.
Trump also went on to claim that the election was rigged despite losing serial court cases, law firms representing his campaign were bailed out in shame, and even Republican officials in battlefield states who admitted he lost and are in dispute acknowledging that there were no signs of widespread fraud that could negate the results showing that Biden has won.
NO WATCHERS OR VOTE WATCHERS ALLOWED, vote tabulated by a private Radical Left company, Dominion, with a bad reputation and shoddy equipment that couldn’t even qualify for Texas (which I won by a lot!), The Fake & Silent Media, & more! ”Trump tweeted in a barrage of claims flagged by Twitter for misrepresentation.
“There is tremendous evidence of widespread electoral fraud in the sense that there is irrefutable evidence that our Republican election observers and observers were not allowed to be present in the counting rooms. Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and others. Unconstitutional! ”He said in another tweet, despite his team being unable to present any convincing evidence or proof and the courts dismissed several cases.
There is now growing concern that the violence in the US capital, implicitly condoned by Trump, could trigger larger clashes as it continues to deepen regardless of the aftermath. In a surprising description of Trump’s tactics, the cover of the German magazine Der Spiegel showed Trump lighting the country under the title Der Feuerteufel (The Devil of Fire) with a subtitle that read “Ein Präsident setzt sein Land in Brand” – “A president sets fire to his country.
