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.

    He won’t go to jail. At best he’ll be banned from running for president, but that won’t happen. At worst he’ll be president again. Either way, the justice system is in his favor with this judge.

      He has three sets of charges coming total for now. “Honorable” Aileen Cannon is just one judge in his pocket for one set of charges. Other judges won’t be bought or threatened into letting him slither away.
