President Trump releases new statement, says he was outraged at Capitol Hill mayhem

[George II]

Source: Fox Detroit (NOT Fox News)

(FOX 2) - After a brief video denouncing the protesters who turned violent and stormed Capitol Hill Wednesday which many said was a tepid response leading to social media bans, President Donald Trump released a new statement today with strong condemnation of it.

Trump's new statement said that the seat of American Democracy had been defiled, promising that those who broke the law will pay. Trump urged that cooler heads must prevail and that America must now move on.

"To those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country," Trump said. "And to those who broke the law, you will pay.

"We have just been through an intense election and emotions are high. But now tempers must be cooled and calm restored. We must get on with the business of America."

[Blue Owl]

2. Go fuck yourself Donny you fat piece of shit

[Dem2theMax]

86. Ditto! nt.

[Talitha]

89. You speak for us all, Blue Owl!!!

[Tech]

3. His history of pardons does not make me feel confident in that statement.

[beachbumbob]

4. Realization of sedition as a crime no self pardon is going to work. In trumps world

nothing matters based on his words, in reality, 20 years in person can happen because of words and intent.

[Vinca]

5. Oops - we know it's bullshit, but will the cult? Could be ending the money train.

[BlueStater]

6. No one believes this crap.

This sociopathic shitstack loved that a mob of brainless idiots rioted in his “honor”.

[Volaris]

7. Trump said. "And to those who broke the law, you will pay." GOOD...

I hope this gets read BACK to him at his sentencing hearing.

[DURHAM D]

8. My guess is that they were withholding his Adderal until he

did the video.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

9. Too late dumbass

No one beleives you Trump.

[sarge43]

22. If he is outraged, then I'm this year's Miss America.

He's breathing; he's lying. QED

At best he's scared. First time in his life he can't bully, threaten, buy or bullshit his way out.

[Phoenix61]

10. CEO's condemn capital violence.

Donny’s all about the dollars.

[EarthFirst]

11. He was uncomfortable and rushed through the script...

He was squirming through all two and a half minutes of it because he doesn’t believe one second of it.

[DENVERPOPS]

55. LOL

Done with all the sincerity of a POW marched out by the North Vietnamese, in front of cameras to bad mouth the U.S.

I'm surprised he didn't flash the White Supremacist hand signal of an OK sign.......

[susanr516]

80. Yep.

Maybe it's due to all the stress, but I started laughing hysterically about 20 seconds into Trump's speech. I told my husband that it looked like a hostage video. He threw his most fervent supporters under the bus, lol. ETTD, MAGAts!

[Talitha]

91. "He threw his most fervent supporters under the bus, lol."

Agreed - and they're too damned stupid to realize it, which means they deserve everything he does to them.

[DENVERPOPS]

97. His bullshit................

Everything that comes out of his mouth has been proven to be a lie, what makes this any different?

I have been switching back and forth since yesterday to see what FOX has been reporting during this entire mess......

You would have a hard time believing they were even reporting on the same tragedy.......

[Kali]

67. from all the cuts and editing it probably was more like 2 hours

holy crap, almost one of those fake vids made from a bunch of others, only shittier.

he did NOT want to make that

[Corgigal]

12. Mr. I'll be with you.

Walking down Pennsylvania Ave?

Did he contact the Capital Police Chief? Tell him, his rally will just be innocent meeting of the minds? Did Trump play the Capital Police?

Me feels, yeah, yeah..he did.

[ekelly]

13. So he creates the monster...

tells them to go to the capitol and fight for him, and now he tells them they dont represent our country.

[bucolic_frolic]

21. I think the term is "agent provocateur"

Someone who incites, tells others to commit this crime or that crime, and then denies they had anything to do with it

[wolfie001]

14. After 4 hateful years from that jackass

Too little and too late. He's engaging right now in behind the scenes let's fuck thing up before Jan 20. 100% piece of shit as well as his "wife"

[keithsw]

15. He's scared shitless

He's finally realizing he may end up in prison and bankrupt. Fuck him, I hope he has a giant mental snap and ends up in the corner shitting his pants

[H2O Man]

75. +1

[Talitha]

93. "I hope he has a giant mental snap and ends up in the corner shitting his pants"

And I hope someone records it and makes sure it goes viral!

[frazzled]

16. Was this a hostage tape?

I’m picturing Mike Pence and a head of the Joint Chiefs crouched under the rostrum, biting his ankles.

Pffft. He was calling them beautiful people yesterday. Tomorrow he’ll be defending them again.

[George II]

20. Almost sounded like that, but he wasn't holding up a newspaper with today's date on it.

[Polly Hennessey]

17. Why is anyone paying attention to him.

He is useless and in a few more days, who cares. Let him go somewhere, forever. Florida doesn’t want him. Scotland doesn’t want him. Oh, wait, I believe 🇮🇷 Iran is looking for him.

[bucolic_frolic]

18. I think it lays the groundwork for his insanity plea

This is now a Jekyll and Hyde investigation for forensic psychiatrists

[KatyMan]

19. Well he just shit all over his groupies

Didn't he?

[Jazzgirl]

23. He got threatened by someone very powerful.

He lied throughout the whole statement. He acted like he was “surprised” this happened when he in fact incited it. People started abandoning him and he saw he couldn’t drive Pence under the bus like he wanted. Pence really doesn’t need help since he has very little respect. Will be interesting to see how the next few days play. I just hope he doesn’t try to start a war with Iran!

[rustysgurl]

24. Heavily edited ... and he's slurring ends of sentences.

I think he's been drugged and threatened. You can tell from his posture that he didn't write this, and he's reading it -- and not with much conviction. It's almost like a hostage video. Has someone taken the time to look to see if he's sending a message with hand gestures or eye blinks???

[R Merm]

25. I hope the trumpanzies that rioted at the Capital for him realize that he just throw them under the

bus to save his ass.

[keithbvadu2]

26. Trump's genuine words of 'condemnation'. "We love you"

[Talitha]

88. THIS

[Kablooie]

27. When he pardons all his terrorists we'll see how outraged he is.

[olddad65]

28. If he keeps up his bullshit, even his moronic shithead followers will begin to see through him.

[iluvtennis]

29. I call BS. He incited these domestic terrorists because he LOST the election. nt

[orleans]

30. his big concession speech -- first thing he says is how he immediately called the national guard

yesterday

[scarletwoman]

41. Well, someone's lying about that. Yesterday it was reported that he refused to call them out until

Pence either did it himself, or finally forced donny to do it.

[mdbl]

31. I wonder who wrote the script

it certainly wasn't trump. he has never spoken that eloquently.

[riversedge]

32. I am sure Susan Collins of Maine will say that Trump has learned his lesson!!

[scarletwoman]

33. Hostage video?

[vlyons]

34. I call bullshit

Pure cover his ass. Yet another lie from a con man. I know that no DUer will fall for his BS.

[KayF]

35. "Be there, will be wild"

?20210107141000

[Joe Nation]

36. YOU DON'T GET TO BE OUTRAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU get to go to jail!!

[Stuart G]

59. .Trump goes directly to jail, he does not get our of jail free, and he does NOT COLLECT $200.00

.................anyone remember that one??? I do...Do you?

[Kablooie]

37. Does laughing, dancing and singing constitute outrage now?

[George II]

39. Who knows, but he, junior, Gargoyle, Meadows, et. al. were sure enjoying the chaos yesterday........

[keithbvadu2]

72. Not very good, Kimberly.

Not very good, Kimberly.

How much for a real lap dance?

[bluestarone]

38. Gotta say he DID NOT look too outraged when

He and his no good family was having a ball watching the live video of the terrorists!!

[riversedge]

40. #LiarInChief #TRUMP releases new statement, says he was outraged at Capitol Hill mayhem

fixed the headline

[dhill926]

42. yeah well....fuck off, ya fuck...

[BlueInPhilly]

43. They will find a code

Like Nostradamuses' quatrains l, his followers have already found the coded messages of love and call for another round in 2 weeks and ready to Reichstag the Capitol.

[RussBLib]

44. Video strikes me as a "deep fake"

It just does not seem real. It's rushed. It's very out of character. Just yesterday he said he would never concede.

[llashram]

45. STFU-TRUMP

POS

[ClusterFreak]

46. This is the same 'reasonable' Trump we saw after he got all the flack...

...from his 'good people on both sides' comment after Charlottesville. After that, he gave a stilted, scripted, unenthusiastic speech in front of a camera just like here.

And then the next day or something he retracted everything reasonable he had said.

Yep, this is not the true Donnie obviously. He may be scared shitless and that's why he did it. Or he knows something we don't know about how his final days will play out. Meaning, he's cut a deal with TPTB, mapped out his clean getaway and doesn't have a care in the world.

Or I could be overwraught with anxiety after yesterday's horrific scenes at the Capitol and I don't know my ass from a hole in the ground.

[Lock him up.]

62. The same monster after the Access Hollywood tape on which he bragged about...

being attracted to "beautiful" and needing to "kiss" them before sexually-assaulting them because to his sick mind "when you're a star, they let you do it"... (yukyukyuk)

THE SAME COLD ROBOTIC, INSINCERE TELEPROMPTER-READING HYPOCRISY ALL OVER AGAIN!

[Kali]

69. I think it was after he had his no-witness meeting with Putin

and took his side over US intelligence agencies. next day was some lame thing where he claimed he said "would" but meant "wouldn't" and it still didn't make any sense

[cannabis_flower]

47. How can you be outraged...

about something you encouraged!

[IsItJustMe]

48. Almost as bad as hearing those Republicans tell everyone how utterly shocked and how horrible it all

was. The same bastards that helps him create the big lie then went out and circulated for their fricken master.

"I am shocked I tell you." My ass. How could anyone vote for this type of vomit is truly beyond my comprehension. Alsmost half of the voting population in this country must be brain dead.

[hadEnuf]

49. He's nuts and this statement is a ploy to put people off-guard for his next act of treason.

[Roc2020]

50. It's too late. no one believes you.

where are you going to live Mr Trump? start with the basics.

[Roy Rolling]

51. Too Little, Too Late

He said “this is just the beginning”.

Nope, the people decide when the end is.

[flibbitygiblets]

52. The mood swings are coming faster now

How long before his next unhinged move? 25A right now, this crazy fucker has the nuke codes and nothing to lose.

[Jetheels]

53. This demented monster is banned from Twitter and Facebook

and should be banned from every and all microphones, podiums, etc. For all time. He’s already lying his ass off and twisting around the events, taking control of the narrative, this is how he does it folks it’s not going to end. Someone slap a pair of handcuffs on him now. Before it’s too late. There’s still 13 days left of who knows what he’ll do. And he’s got what 148 in Congress behind his every word?

[flibbitygiblets]

54. Imagine how swift and furious his condemnation would have been had the perps been POCs

It sure as f**k wouldn't have taken 30 hours and the threat of impeachment or invocation of the 25th Amendment.

[sakabatou]

56. Bullshit, he incited this!

[orangecrush]

57. LIAR

Fuck off, you narcissistic psycho.

[aggiesal]

58. Pendejo45's statement paraphrased ...

I'm sorry I got caught

[MyOwnPeace]

60. Sorry,

Alec Baldwin does it SO much better!

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

61. Resign!

[marmar]

63. .......

[NRaleighLiberal]

64. fuck you, you lying piece of shit psychopath.

[Rebl2]

65. You are

far to late with this message and I don’t believe a word you said anyway.

[Evolve Dammit]

66. LIAR-IN-CHIEF

[sinkingfeeling]

68. Does he look 'outraged' to you?

[badboy67]

70. Impeach - Convict - Remove. NOW

[BlueIdaho]

71. Fuck Trump Fuck Twitter

They should both be erased from America.

[OneBlueSky]

73. he knows that he -- and his legacy -- are in deep, deep shit . . . n/t

[DallasNE]

74. Not So Fast

How can Trump be outraged when Trump himself called for the very type of thing that materialized. He was their leader, even cheering them on minutes before the riot. And moving on can only occur after people are held accountable. Absent immediate resignation that cannot occur. And make no mistake, you, Trump, are guilty as charged. And don't get cute with the pardons either.

[Chemisse]

76. Perhaps this is meant to go along with the new 'Antifa did it' defense.

Which, according to my Facebook feed, the typical Trumpite on the street is falling for, quite vehemently.

I don't know if he cooked up the laughable Antifa story or some of the nutcases in Congress did it, but his "I love you" words from yesterday needed to be superseded to make it look hold water.

[volstork]

77. This video begs to differ:

https://mobile.twitter.com/jadedcreative/status/1347208294818074624?ref_url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.democraticunderground.com%2f100214850624

[Mr. Evil]

78. "Outraged"

My aching ass! Just another god damn lie. The only outrage he actually feels is that his mob of doofus idiots didn't cause more damage and kill some Democratic members of Congress.

[NRaleighLiberal]

79. turn the sound off and watch. He spit those words out. He hated to say them.

He read text he certainly didn't write in monotone, with barely veiled sneering. Someone MADE him read that straight.

As someone above said, that was a hostage tape.

Bullshit is my call.

[Danmel]

81. Oh please

Anytime he says anything resembling the right thing, it sounds like he is in a hostage video. And he did not immediately call out the National Guard. Pence deployed the guard. He is obviously scared shitless by the calls for impeachment.

[JohnnyRingo]

82. In other words: "Antifa did it".

You can bet the next we hear from him is how he's having the movement investigated to root out the rioters among the patriots and bring them to justice.

[Dopers_Greed]

83. This might be the closest thing to a concession speech we get

[notinkansas]

84. He loves these people so much -

it took him a whole day to throw them under the bus.

[Ohioboy]

85. How psychotic

First he starts a riot then calls for peace. Isn't this like the violent husband that buys his battered wife flowers. More reason to impeach and remove. We never know what he'll do.

[AmericanCanuck]

87. How insincere .. he doesn't mean any of it

[SunSeeker]

90. He LIED. He did NOT "immediately" call the National Guard. He NEVER called it.

Pelosi and Schumer and Stenny Hoyer and McConnell were all locked up in a bunker calling the White House requesting national guard backup and getting NO response from the White House. Stenny happened to have on his cell phone the phone number of the Republican Governor of his home state of Maryland, Larry Hogan. He called and Hogan answered.

Stenny begged for state national guard riot troops from Maryland, and Hogan immediately obliged. But there was a problem. They needed approval from the White House. And the White House would not give it ....this stalemate continued for an HOUR AND A HALF until Hogan got a called from a lower level member of the military (Trump's upper level DoD appointees had refused approval). Hogan wasn't sure if this military person had authority to give approval, but he went with it and deployed his riot troops, in light of the urgency of the situation.

Hogan tells the above chilling story at the beginning of this 19-minute video:

About the time the Maryland troops arrived at the Capitol, Pence finally took the reigns and personally deployed the DC National Guard that Trump would not. It is not clear how Pence was able to do that since the President is the one who must authorize deployment of the DC National Guard. But again, no one really questioned it in light of the grave situation at the Capitol.

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/01/pence-not-trump-activated-the-national-guard-report.html

The picture is becoming increasingly clear. Trump incited these rioters, then had federal riot police stand down for at least 90 minutes after the rioters breached the Capitol. By then a woman rioter trying to enter the Senate chamber had been shot dead, and a Capitol Police officer had been bashed in the head with a fire extinguisher by a rioter, resulting in catastrophic brain damage (they are now trying to assemble the officer's family regarding removing life support).

This was a deliberate act of insurrection incited, aided and abetted by President Trump.

[SoFlaBro]

102. Laid end-to-end like that and the picture is clear. The Orange Bastard is going to jail.

[Talitha]

94. That weak 'speech' isn't enough... THIS NATION NEEDS CLOSURE!!!!

He needs to say the word 'concede'.

He needs to say the election was NOT stolen.

He needs to say there was NO cheating.

He needs to say he's been pushing conspiracy theories.

He needs to say.....

(too emotionaly exhausted to continue, but you get my drift)

[Karma13612]

95. Whoa

Major pharmaceuticals were employed to create an almost literate, calm, lucid adult human.

Someone threatened him ‘bigly’ to behave ‘or else’.

[newdayneeded]

96. My opinion

I bet this is Pence and his cabinet alternative to using the 25th amendment. "You go out and denounce the rioters yesterday, or we draw up the papers and remove you."

He looked and acted like he knew the shit was about to hit the fan.

[radical noodle]

98. "Our incredible journey

is only just beginning." And that's what he actually wanted to convey.

[LudwigPastorius]

99. More treasonous lies and horseshit wrapped in 'God, family, and apple pie'...

...read with all the enthusiasm of a sullen 4th grader called to the front of the class.

Somebody please get this criminal, anti-American, piece of shit out of power and off the national stage, NOW.

[Progressive Jones]

100. He never fucking stops lying! This was exactly what he wanted. nt

[cayugafalls]

101. Fuck. Him. No Quarter Will Be Given.

All his followers shall forever be tainted by his vileness.

They are dead to me.

[wishstar]

103. Head arsonist who lit the match and slowed down the firefighters condemns the fire

Quite a performance from the supreme conman/gaslighter in chief

[raccoon]

104. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Does anybody really believe he wants a smooth transition? Everybody with any brains know he’s a pathological liar.

Just one lie he said in there, that he called out the National Guard. But he didn’t, Pence did.

[electric_blue68]

105. Pure BS..

as many said "hostage tape".

He almost always does that flat monotone when
he reads something he disagrees with.
In the his case, big tine. What's different to me
is how fast he's speaking! He usually plods through
those. This to me - he couldn't get it over with
fast enough!

[DemocraticPatriot]

106. He forgot to say

"I'm shocked, SHOCKED--- that insurrection is going on here!"

[pfitz59]

108. Witnesses say he was absolutely giddy during the storming of the Capitol.

I lost the link. But sounds right. Dancing his smirky little jig.

[whistler162]

109. Mr. Trump you are no Claude Rains
