In case there was any lingering doubt about whether President Trump really did want his vice president to overturn the results of the 2020 election and keep him in power despite having lost ->

The picture in the Tweet is a little blurry so here's a clearer copy:

[question everything]

1. Is this from the Onion?

[Nevilledog]

2. Nope. It's real. Just another Trump confession.

3. There is no lingering doubt - Chump tweeted it repeatedly for days leading up to Jan. 6th

The above is an archived version of CHUMP's LAST TWEET before he was banned from Twitter forever.

He also spoke about it at the White House lawn rally that started off the festivities on January 6th. It's on video that day, and recorded on Twitter. There can be no doubt. It's on the record. That is all.

4. Trump's defense of 'Hang Mike Pence!'

Donald Trump’s attempt to rationalize the “Hang Mike Pence!” chant that erupted at the Capitol on Jan. 6 would be almost amusing if it weren’t so grotesque.

“The people were very angry,” Trump told ABC News’s Jonathan Karl, the verbal equivalent of a shrug. Karl had raised the question of Pence’s safety that day and mentioned the chant, prompting Trump to offer an extended riff about how it was “common sense” that Pence should have taken action in a half-baked effort to preserve Trump’s presidency ...

5. He belongs in a psychiatric ward where he can receive proper treatment.

Actually, he belongs in the psychiatric ward of a federal prison.

6. Sure, that makes sense.

That's why we have laws against theft and murder. It's perfectly okay to steal and kill if there's no law against it. There's no such thing as morals, only the legal and the illegal. Every time the government makes a law, they're taking away one of your rights!

7. His shit meter reads "FULL"

8. I hope A.G. Garland passes this on to the proper people and that the House's Jan. 6th Committee ...

... introduces this into their report on the attempted coup and violence. God how I want that mother fucker
to go away but in the meantime I want him put under oath and asked to read his confession to a criminal
conspiracy.

Does he even have a lawyer? This is a confession to a crime. If I set up and pay people to rob a bank and then write
a note after the attempted robbery that they had the right to rob that bank does not make the bank robbery legal or
absolve me from criminal prosecution.

BTW, does, he, have a, clue, about how, to use a, comma?

9. Oh. Then I guess VP Harris can

perpetually decide future elections? Nice!

10. Nixon: Well, when the president does it ... that means that it is not illegal.[4]

Nixon: Well, when the president does it … that means that it is not illegal.[4]

Would Pence be covered by such theory if he is working for Trump?

Has Trump or any of his minions made such a claim?
