From the former guy’s speech to the mob he summoned to Washington on January 6: “Now, it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you …"
Following which lie he not only wasn’t there with them, he was back in his luxurious taxpayer-provided mansion, protected by his taxpayer-provided security team, watching it all unfold on his taxpayer-provided world-class communication system, and not lifting a finger to stop the insurrectionist chaos.
And yet many of that same group of rioters still completely believe everything he says, even tho he lied directly to them and effectively abandoned them to the fate he’d sent them to.
Jake Tapper stunned as Trump goes on ‘jaw dropping’ anti-Semitic rant
In an interview with an Israeli reporter Donald Trump, the former U.S. president, lamented Jews in America “no longer love Israel,” claimed America’s evangelical Christians “love Israel more,” and declared “Jewish people … run The New York Times.”
Trump made his remarks (audio excerpt below) in an interview with Israeli journalist Barak Ravid, the Daily Mail reports. The clip was aired in the “Unholy: Two Jews on the news” podcast.
CNN’s Jake Tapper commented that the Republican former president’s remarks were “jaw dropping.”
“I mean you look at The New York Times, The New York Times hates Israel. Hates them. And they’re Jewish people that run The New York Times,” he added.
“Earlier this year,” Daily Mail notes, “Trump said that US Jews ‘don’t love Israel enough’ because he only got 25% of the Jewish vote in the 2020 election.”
“And I also did many other things. Jewish people who live in the United States don’t love Israel enough. Does that make sense to you?”

He stirred the pot beforehand. He knows what he was doing.

Nonsense… he’s too stupid to be able to make the popcorn by himself!
The Nodding Head over 2 years ago
Very good, except Trump probably doesn’t know how to turn on a stove, let alone make popcorn or anything on it.

He waited 3 hours for his stupid coup to succeed.

Doubt he would have made that popcorn himself – probably called the White House kitchen to bring it to him in the bunker where he was hiding…

Trump thinks he a classy guy. He eats pizza with a knife and fork. Can’t imagine him eating a messy hand food like popcorn.

If that’s not psychopathy, I don’t know what is!

Consulting my calendar, I see that the 1st anniversary of Jan. 6 is now only 17 days away. Anyone got any big plans for the occasion?
