Images have emerged of the Trump family in a celebratory mood shortly before violence broke out in Washington DC and their supporters stormed the Capitol.

The images, taken by Donald Trump Jr, show his father, his sister Ivanka, his brother Eric, his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and several others watching in a tent as their March to Save America began in streets.

Donald Jr films his girlfriend Kimberly dancing amid the party atmosphere and is heard urging the Trumpistas to “fight” for the outgoing US president.

President Donald Trump also appears to be wearing boxing gloves as he prepares to deliver his speech just before chaos unfolds on Capitol Hill.

Trump told his supporters that he would “never give up” and “never give in” in the 2020 presidential election, ahead of a joint session of Congress to certify the results.

The rally proceedings were interrupted when pro-Trump protesters stormed the Capitol building and shut it down. Four people died in the chaos that followed and dozens more were arrested. A police officer wounded in the chaos later died at the hospital.

Donald Jr can be heard at the beginning of the recording saying: “Unfortunately there is a path between the main crowd and the masses, I would love to see them approach because it would be quite impressive, but this is quite incredible.”

He called the protesters who were “sick of shit” patriots and thanked them for what they were doing before touring the room, capturing his wife dancing to Laura Branigan’s 80’s Gloria and showing staff taking pictures of the crowd. on the multiple TV screens in the tent.

Meadows makes a lighthearted cameo at the end where Donald Jr calls him “a true fighter.”

Guilfoyle also appears again and says “Have the courage to do the right thing. Fight”, before Trump appears at the end swinging what appears to be a red boxing glove.

The footage has gone viral on social media and people highlight how the Trumps “danced with pleasure” and were “happy” just before the violence that occurred.

“The atmosphere was clear … Strategic ambiguity equates to plausible denial,” said one commentator.

Another wrote: “Wow. The palpable excitement and party atmosphere, and this is before denying the support of the National Guard.”

Others noted how constant use of the word “fight” and Trump in boxing gloves indicated that they “had a game plan and it worked.”

“Trump wearing boxing gloves in the final seconds is the craziest thing in this crazy video,” said another.

TRUMPS TAKE TO THE STAGE

Later, Donald Jr. thanked “red-blooded patriotic Americans” for “being in this fight with us” and “standing up to the bullshit” in his speech to his supporters.

In an expletive-filled speech almost entirely yelled at, she lamented that her personal Instagram account was “being censored to hell right now” and complained that transgender women had a competitive advantage at all-female sporting events.

“No shit!” he said. Fox News then released its live stream of the event after his comments aired uncensored.

Guilfoyle, Eric and Lara Trump also appeared on stage.

“We live in the largest country in the world and we will never, never, never stop fighting,” said Eric Trump.

Lara said: “Our family did not get into this fight for only four years. We are in this fight until the end.”

PRESIDENT’S SPEECH THAT TOUCHED THE CROWDS

In his speech, Trump told supporters that he promised to “stop the robbery” and renewed pressure on Vice President Mike Pence to “do the right thing” and decertify the election results.

He said he did not want “our electoral victory to be stolen by the radical left Democrats.”

“That is what they are doing, and it is stolen by the fake media, that is what they have done and what they are doing,” Trump said.

“We will never give up and we will never give in. We will stop the theft.”

The president praised the crowd of supporters who traveled to Washington for pro-Trump rallies throughout the city on Wednesday local time, on the sidelines of the Electoral College certification in Congress.

“If Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election,” Trump said.

“Everything he has to do is number one, or certainly one of the best constitutional lawyers in our country, he has the absolute right to do it.”

Politicians were later ordered to hide under their desks as the gun battle between the police and Trump supporters raged around them.

TRUMPS CONDEMNS VIOLENCE

After the riot in the United States Capitol building, members of the Trump family came out publicly to condemn what happened.

Ivanka Trump faces intense backlash after labeling violent protesters “patriots” in a hastily deleted tweet.

He later tweeted: “Peaceful protest is patriotic. Violence is unacceptable and must be condemned in the strongest terms.”

When the violence broke out, Trump Jr. also came out to say “prosecute anyone who crosses that line to the full extent of the law.”

When the president finally addressed the violence, he asked the rioters to “go home” but also called them “very special” and said “we love you.”

But in a video message released today, the president criticized the violence seen during yesterday’s siege, claiming he was “outraged” by what he had witnessed.

“I would like to start by addressing the atrocious attack on the United States Capitol. Like all Americans, I am outraged by the violence, anarchy and chaos,” he said.

“The United States is and must always be a nation of law and order. The protesters who entered the Capitol have desecrated the seat of American democracy. For those who participated in the acts of destruction: They do not represent our country. Law: You will pay “.
