Yeah they shouldn't do that.

It just turns him into a martyr.

Let him say what he wants, then show that it's bullshite.

The trouble is what he wants to say is to tell his supporters to rise up and forcefully take over government so that he can stay in power.

Nobody is curtailing his freedom of speech. He can say what he wants, but no one is required to give him a platform to say it on. IMO, it is akin to demanding the right to stand on the window balcony of a prominently located hotel and speak to the crowds below, even if he has paid for the room. A hotel is not Speakers Corner and preventing such a speech is not denying free speech.

Can you link the tweet?
I didn't see that one.

Well that's basically treason, so give him enough rope and he'll hang himself.

All well and good if his attempt at a coup fails. But if he succeeds, he will be the one doing the hanging. Too late then, so that is why he should not be given a platform now.

That's because he is barred from twitter. If you don't understand what he is up to, then nothing I can do about it. He has been setting the stage for this for several months now. If I remember correctly, weren't you the one that said last week that it was all bluff and there would be no issues when it came to confirming Biden as president?

No way will a "coup" of a few renegades succeed.

Trump is so delusional he thinks he controls a Confederate army.

The National Guard will throw him out because they defend the Constitution.

Im well aware. But all sides have stoked tensions. However someone was claiming he emphasised "peaceful protest". So yeah I want to see it.

Either way I haven't read his twitter that points one way or the other.

Well here's a quote from a video:

“I know your pain, I know your hurt,” Trump said in the video. “We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side.”

“We have to have peace,” added the president. “So go home. We love you. You’re very special."

South American politics arrives in Washington DC via Trump.

This is all straight out of messy south of the boarder stuff that happen 40 years ago its all quite bizarre.

Unless you are a Trump supporter.
 
We love you. You're very special.

I'm sure that somewhere on this forum I've mentioned narcissists, narcissistic rage and how to set these people off.

That's not saying "I was right" but rather that all this is classic behaviour, it's straight out of the textbook as to what they do.

Push them far enough and they're rather dangerous yes. I mean seriously, really dangerous. :2twocents

Obviously a message of violence. Browsing around, this demonstration was planned weeks ago.
