In a Truth Social post Saturday evening, he claimed in all-caps that “the Biden FBI” supposedly “placed 274 agents into the crowd on January 6”.

      Epstein files are also a distraction. Impeach. Then straight to jail

        Epstein files are the only thing that’s maintained even a tiny bit of traction among his supporters and made some of them…well I’d say think twice, but that implies thinking a first time.

          It kind of feels like he pulled his usual strategy of saying it wasn’t an issue and it’s really still an August problem, not an October problem, but I’d love to be wrong here.

    Why do these kinds of headlines keep getting posted suggesting that Trump is being forgetful? He’s not, he knows exactly who was in charge, but he knows his base is stupid and will get riled up at anything he wants to tell them.

    It’s just a constant stream of outrage to keep the base riled.

    “appears to forget” no he’s having another episode of severe dementia.

    Can’t say “he lied” can’t say “he has dementia” can’t say “he’s a rapist” for fuck’s sake corporate news, what the fuck good are you AT ALL.

    I mean technically it was Biden’s fault that J6 happened, just not in the way Trump is saying. If Biden hadn’t won, Trump wouldn’t have tried to make it happen.

        Yeah, but we know they don’t take the blame for anything. It’s always ‘the system’ or ‘no decent candidates’ or ‘fucking boomers’ or ‘oh look, my nipples are hairy’.

    No, it makes perfect sense. What he means was that people Biden put into the FBI BEFORE Trump took over, infiltrated the crowd to do all of the damage, violence and insurrection to try to make the peaceful MAGA folks appear to be the aggressors and to make it look like he was trying to overthrow the government…

    … Which is why he pardoned them because… wait a minute. Let me try this again. You see Antifa was, no that doesn’t work. Ok, I’ve got it now, they weren’t insurrectionists, they were just tourists doing what tourists do, snapping photos, shitting in offices, erecting gallows… I don’t think I’m expressing myself correctly. It all makes sense because…

    Biden.

    Anybody remember when people were saying Biden wasn’t even really president and it was Trump running things from a secret bunker?
