Trump causes confusion by sharing meme calling Jan 6 a ‘government staged riot’ even though he was in power - eviltoast

The meme has been liked nearly 9,000 times and shared 2,400 times as of Monday. In reaction to Mr Trump’s repost, journalist Aaron Rupar sarcastically wrote on Twitter: “rubbing my last 2 brain cells together as I try to remember who ran the government on January 6.”

The former president shared the meme despite a House committee that investigated January 6 declaring Mr Trump the “central cause” of the day’s events. “None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him,” the House panel wrote in its final report.

      Yeah! Was he Donald Trump – the person – president? Or was it “Donald Trump” the legal entity? Is his name capitalized on the documents? Was his presidency valid under maritime law?

          Gold fringes on the flag of the country “Donald Trump” was president of? Damn it! We’ve been bamboozled! We aren’t even living in the real United States! We were the sheeple all along, just like they were trying to tell us!

            His name is an anagram for “L pond mud rat”. That park is only about 2 hours from D.C., maybe there’s a clue to be uncovered there. Going to need some more yarn and pushpins for my bulletin board to put it all together and it could just be an old rant dump.

        I believe a lot of them write their names differently as the legal entity, like: ©Donald Trump™

        I didn’t expect to see sovereign citizen stuff on this post!
