Those readers that follow this site’s reporting closely will certainly note that on the day of the riot, as the minutes and hours ticked away without a word from Trump, we opined that Trump was pleased with what he was watching. It is hard to think of anything more satisfying to a narcissist than watching hordes fight to the “near-death” (and some died) on the narcissist’s behalf. Additionally, Trump is a big enough meat-head that he surely believed that the riot could work.

Mary Trump knows both the psychological profile and her uncle’s personality and she certainly believes that he enjoyed every minute of it. From Rawstory:

“In your mind, is there any question that Donald wanted people to lay siege on our Capitol to prevent the certification of Joe Biden’s votes?” Obeidallah asked Mary on Thursday’s The Dean Obeidallah Show. 

“He enjoyed every second of it,” Mary said. “He is a physical coward, but he’s perfectly happy when other people commit violence on his behalf. “So, not only did he support it, he definitely, ok I don’t want to say definitely because I don’t know for sure. I would be shocked if he hadn’t been directly involved in planning it and supporting it,” she added.

Absolutely. We read reports that as White House aides begged Trump to get on TV and Twitter early and call the hordes off he said, “But these people support me!” because that’s all that matters in his world.

 Kaitlan Collins also reported that Trump was “borderline enthusiastic” while watching his supporters storm the Capitol.“He was fine with what was happening earlier today on Capitol Hill, according to multiple people who have spoken with the president today who have described him as manic and other things, just talking about this reaction that they just do not believe that is normal,”

No shit?

Of course, he was enthusiastic! If he were upset, he’d have been on the phone with every law-enforcement agency within 50 miles to get help over there. We can’t help but notice that he did not make those calls.

It is obvious, but it does need to be repeated over and over. It is called evidence.

Peace, y’all
