and high-fiving his supporters afterwards.

Then, his handlers had to prepare him for his speech that afternoon thanking all the "lovely people" who stormed the Capitol before they were asked to go home.

[Then, he was tweeting throughout the day BS like] "support our Capitol police and law enforcement." He added that people should "stay peaceful" and that officers are "truly on the side of our country."

"I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!" Trump tweeted at 3:13 p.m.

"At 6 p.m. Trump tweeted that the riot was something that happens "when a sacred landslide election victory" is "viciously stripped away" from people."

Say, aren’t we paying for the collection of all this information?
