Trump's New Spin On ‘We Fight Like Hell’ Speech On Jan. 6

All you need is love.
The former President, Donald Trump, deliberately downplayed his "we fight like hell" speech on January 6 in a recent interview with Laura Ingraham. He insisted that his speech was "extremely calming." So, what do you think of his attempt to backpedal?

Read the entire article: Donald Trump Defies Belief With New Spin On ‘We Fight Like Hell’ Speech From Jan. 6

Donald Trump attempted to spin his inflammatory speech ahead of the Jan. 6 insurrection into something much more mellow and measured on Friday night.

The former president, during an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, claimed the incendiary address that whipped his supporters up into storming the U.S. Capitol in a bid to overturn the 2020 election was “extremely calming.”

“Honestly, I have nothing to hide,” Trump told Ingraham during a conversation about a federal appeals court’s refusal to let him block the release of records to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 violence.

“I wasn’t involved in that,” Trump declared. “And if you look at my words and what I said in the speech, they were extremely calming, actually.”

Instead, Trump claimed, the insurrection took place on Election Day, and the attack on the Capitol was just a protest.

He strikes me as someone who is reactive. He will say/do whatever he needs to do to position himself right now. He is very good at reading his surroundings and adjusting, so long as he has an element of control in the situation. If he does not have control, however, he struggles and isn't sure what to do with himself. This commonly manifests into angry outbursts.

I think trump's idea of winning is how many people he can dupe. I suspect it is what he enjoys the most, as his businesses are not really very good. He's done well to sell the idea that he is successful, when the fact is he's an excellent conman. The guy who ghost wrote "The Art of the Deal" has many revelations about trump and his character, or lack of it.

Ingraham knows he's a crook and unethical, but they are in a toxic co-dependent relationship to fool conservatives voters and feed them lies and disinformation.

He’s a politician. He’s canny in many ways. So he’ll flip flop. That’s normal.

This whole Jan 6 thing reminds me of the idea of “history rhymes.”

By that I mean the events of Trump’s supporters (not all, of course) storming The Capitol in such a manner as they did on Jan 6 is in many ways similar to something like say the famous Beer Hall Putsch (event? Rally?) of the Nazi party.
It was inspired by the show of force by Mussolini, if I recall history class correctly. That was supposed to be a demonstration of strength and dominance. And it was an abject failure. Indeed broader social support for the party absolutely plummeted. Germany would never allow anyone to gain power through such illegal means. Though that doesn’t mean the party didn’t later mythologise the event through their propaganda.

Jan 6 was something along the same lines. A show of force. A show of strength and an outcry.
Though it likely didn’t start out with that intent. The aimlessness of said supporters once the building was evacuated showed they didn’t really have anything tangible planned. Indeed they seemed genuinely confused and lost once that happened. It was seemingly just done to “own the libs.”
And broader social support similarly dropped for said supporters.

Now you could argue that that’s what you get for promoting nothing but empty slogans.
Maybe there’s some truth to that.

I watched the whole thing live and I’m still baffled by it, tbh

(Please note I only compared the Putsch and Jan 6 because of odd similarities. I am not equating the two or suggesting that Trump supports are Nazis in any shape or form. History has echos, which I find somewhat interesting, that’s all.)

Both? In this situation, it very much appears to me like the guy is covering his substantial behind and trying to shift blame elsewhere, in a manner that has already been established by right-wing media personalities on Fox News et al.

Nope. I call it as I see it. AOC the silly girl does have some stupid moronic notions like denying the existence of smash and grap robberies of late. Maybe I might rev it up again.

Aside from that sideshow, I'm more inclined and willing to bet to think obsessed Democrats will collectively vie for introducing new legislation to make the words , "Fight like hell" hate speech punishable with fines and jail time.
