Trump rarely stays on script. No way his counsel knew what he would say in advance.

What result were they expecting? A total overthrow? Dead congresspeople? A reichstag fire? Were they hoping the magats would get martyred on the Capitol steps? What? And do they think it was a success or a failure? What did they achieve?

The hardcore thugs and Trump’s inner circle? Definitely Reichstag Fire.

Everyone else? Thought it was just harmless hyperbole.

This is planned, from the top. That’s Trump.

Who, but Trump and his new Sec. Def. flunky, are positioned because they govern the Federal city that is the District of Columbia.

Why are the police so unprepared? They authorize that, or not. This is premeditated criminal negligence.
