Today's revelation about a call from within the White House to an insurrectionist on Jan. 6 is a good reason to repost this:
I disagree about despot Trump failing to respond to the Jan. 6 #insurrection." He didn't fail to respond, he just didn't respond as "president," ...

2) which he never truly was. The insurrection is EVERYTHING to Trump and he was not going to simply watch it fall apart.

Instead, Trump was holed up in private for 3 hours trying to make his insurrection succeed. ...

3) ● No White House Call Logs.
● No photographer.

(P.S. - Trump used his SS agent's phone to call Melania when she wouldn't answer his calls when the Stormy Daniels news broke. It was logical to him to grab ...

9) others' phones.)
