TFG was confused when White House staffers didn't like him rewinding Capitol riot highlights on TV

Former President Donald Trump was confused when White House staffers didn't like him rewinding Capitol riot highlights on TV, The Associated Press reported Monday.

The report offers new details into what happened in the West Wing on January 6, 2021, as a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election.

The AP report repeats a previous claim made by Stephanie Grisham, a former White House press secretary, who told CNN last month that Trump "gleefully" watched the insurrection unfold on TV, rewinding the footage at several points to watch it over again.

"Look at all of the people fighting for me," Trump said at the time, according to Grisham.

prior to the 2024 election (I would prefer 2022 but it would be too late to do it right). Something with the impact of United 93 or 13 hours. I wonder who gets to play Sir Donald.

Movie dramatizations are how Americans get emotionally invested. I wouldn't want to see a hatchet job, but a careful recounting of the events (which are bad enough to begin with).

The movie could close with the GOP refusing to impeach the Donald.


We had hundreds of hours of Benghazi testimony including over 11 hours from Hillary Clinton. This was over a 23 minute delay from first request for help to CIA troops to them rolling.

How long did it take National Guard troops under the command of the Chief Executive Officer to get to the Capitol?

empty room at maralago. ymca begins playing again; there is a general groan from the audience and as he prattles on about stolen elections the room empties out even more, others snickering and laughing at him. someone yells out in jest: "tell us about that stolen election again" so he starts the story again as the last of the crowd clears out. he continues talking as camera pans out and we see the candles still burning on the tables, one drunk leaning back in chair sound asleep, and trump's voice begins to fade.

cut to exterior with two secret service agents watching the events unfolding through a window.

agent 1: it's time.

the other agent nods and they enter the building. camera watches through window as they approach t., say something we can't hear. t. stands, agent 1 cuffs him (behind his back) and both agents lead him out. as they step into the night a photographer steps out of the bushes and snaps a picture of the confused and pissed off t.

full screen: washington post front page and headline: donald trump finally arrested

as the picture fades the music comes up:
"you can hang out with all the boys. it's fun to stay at the y.m.c.a." etc.

credits roll

In the end, this is exactly what will sink him. There are acts of commission, and acts of omission. By failing to seize the opportunity to persuade the insurrectionists to back down, and being the only person in the world capable of doing so, he revealed himself as the ringleader of the conspiracy.

I’m only guessing her age from the shape of her face and other signs of development. She’s obviously a tall girl, but just as obviously very young.

In the very public lap dance photo the look on his face just screams: Look at me! You know what’s going on and none of you can (or will) say or do anything to stop me!

You know he thought about it. He even remarked out loud that she was “hot” and if she wasn’t his daughter he’d probably be dating her.

It is one thing to recognize your child is attractive and quite another to describe her as hot. He is not normal. His supporters are dumb and blind if they think he has not had inappropriate thoughts and behavior with his daughter, Ivanka. Maybe Tiffany was spared because she has not been as close to him growing up. Maybe her mother knew him well enough to keep her away from him??

he said something to the effect of, "I'll be dating her in a few years", referring to the 10yr old daughter of an acquaintance....I tell you if someone had said something like that to my dad, he would have beat their ass ON THE SPOT. Yes indeed.

People in general are often concerned when a young woman dates a person several years older than she is. So when a 17-18 year old woman is dating a 35 year old man it raises eyebrows and concern, as it should. Or a 20 something year old woman dates a 50 something y.o.man. Not only was tRump older than many of the women he dated, he was decades older than them! And it was a pattern with him. He really liked the young ones.

Part of it with him was pure ego. He loved to think he was still attractive to young women. I’m not sure he ever admitted to himself that they may have been more interested in his money. (Melania is the best example I can think of. She was a gold digger from the git go.) But another part of his attraction to younger women was he has a “thing” for young women. Ahem. If he and Melania ever split up, you can take it to the bank he’ll be out prowling for young women. That’s his pattern.

Because they were brought up in homes dominated by a narcissist.

They are still playing up to daddy playing out a story embedded in thier unconscious. They want to re-traumatize themselves,and everyone else.

They are living through thier past this way while being in denial about it.

The rest are straight up narcissists getting off on it all..waiting for thier opportunity to dominate and abuse somebody and get away with it like thier role model,tfg.

In one we are told that there are judges and investigations and he is cornered, his last days…
In another, he is the leader of his party, growing stronger every day, people shaking in their boots to make a move against him.

So which is it?

I’m tired of it all.
