Enemy of lying pomposity,
smugness and groupthink
scary scenario: great
segments thanks:
Residentpresident Trump is Calli,
calm, peace law and order. Here
are his remarks in full. Take a
look.
I would like to begin by
addressing the heinous attack on
the United States capital.
Like all Americans, I am
outraged by the violence,
lawlessness and mayhem.
I immediately deployed the
National Guard and federal
law enforcement to secure the
building and expel the intruders
intruders.
America is and must always be a
nation of law and order.
Two demonstrators who
infiltrated the capital have
defiled the seat of american
democracy to those who engaged
in the acts of violence and
destruction. You do not
represent our country
and to those who broke the law,
you will pay.
We have just been through an
intense election and emotions
are high. Now tempers must be
cooled and calm restored.
We must get on with the business
of America. My campaign
vigorously pursued every legal
avenue to contest the election
results.
My only goal was to ensure the
integrity of the vote.
In so doing, I was fighting to
defend american democracy.
I continue to strongly believe
we must reform our election laws
to verify the identity and
eligibility of all voters and to
ensure faith and confidence in
all future elections.
Now Congress has certified the
results.
A new administration will be
inaugurated on January 20th. My
focus now turns to ensuring a
smooth, orderly and seamless
transition of power.
This moment calls for healing
and reconciliation.
Two thousand and twenty has been a challenging time
for our people.
The menacing pandemic has
upended the lives of our
citizens,
isolated millions in their
homes, damaged our economy and
claimed countless lives
defeating this pandemic and
rebuilding the greatest economy
on earth will require all of us
working together.
It will require a renewed
emphasis on the civic values of
patriotism, faith, charity,
community and family.
We must revitalize the sacred
bonds of love and loyalty that
bind us together as one national
family
to the citizens of our country,
serving as your president has
been the honor of my lifetime
and to all of my wonderful
supporters. I know you are
disappointed, but I also want
you to know that our incredible
journey is only just beginning.
Thank you. God bless you and
God bless America
important speech and,
as is the presidents signature
style, he fought as hard as he
possibly could. After the actions
of Congress last night, pretty
much any remedy he had and what
he had been fighting for had
been exhausted. The presidents
right to do it
law and order must always
prevail, call must be restored.
We must get on with the business
of America and an important part
of that business is fixing flaws
in our election process.
Every state legislature needs to
get busy. Let me make a
prediction:
after the first one hundred days,
Democrats now full control of
the government and the media
mob, the never trumpers all
working together to help elect
Joe Biden. My attitude is you
broke it, you own it and guess
what we know you helped
somebody everybody knew was
physically weak and frail,
clearly struggling cognitively.
Who also has the most radical
socialist agenda in the history
of this country.
I rode a whole chapter,
socialism and history of
failure.
Predictably, it fails collect
taxes, go up. Energy prices go
up hostile regimes. I think they
see Joe Biden the way. Most of
America does
Russia, China, IRAN elsewhere.
They cause problems. Lets see
how he deals with it
Idhope he deals with it for the
sake of the world to the right
way. When you realize how dull
and boring Joe is im betting
here, but those never trumpers
the media mob, they are use to a
daily diet of waking up and
feigning outrage and a psychotic
rage and hate
when the mob in the media. All
of a sudden, they are going to
realize hes kind of boring,
covering Joe whats trump doing
today,
theyre going to promise, they
will stop covering trump. They
will be back to covering trump
and mark my words. The words miss me yet will resonate.
Miss me yet will resonate
sooner than you think.
Lets see what many of you think
about the 25th amendment over
time. What are you going to
think about the 25th amendment
now that youre talking about so
much
now? We must determine what went
wrong at the? U dot s capital, that
is our top priority.
Capitol police chief has
officially resigned. The house
sergeant of arms has also
stepped down.
Americans demand answers,
rightly so
what we all witnessed yesterday
inside the capitol building
that could never happen again in
this country.
That building belongs to be the
people.
This is our house and it was
breached and it was breached
within minutes with relative
ease,
the capitol police, its
inexplicable.
They knew. Hundreds of thousands
of Americans had descended upon
Washington yesterday. They knew
what their plan was to March
from the Washington monument to
the capital
they knew Congress would be in
session, got to protect all
elected officials and they would
be conducting important
business.
They knew the vice president
would be there.
Ninety nine percent of those who attended the
rally remained outside the
capitol building. As we pointed
out last night,
we told you if you have any
desire to understand who they
are and why they are there. We
spelled it out in great detail.
Last night,
good, hardworking, honest
people, work hard play by the
rules, pay their taxes, obey the
laws, raise their kids and still
the capitol police were totally
unprepared for the one percent. The
agitators who had ulterior
motives.
This transcends all politics.
We do live in a post, 9, slash eleven world,
this kind of security breach at
our nations capital, where the
Peoples House, elected
representatives and innocent
people are is beyond shocking
and it is completely
unacceptable
guess what every one of
Americas enemies witnessed. This
massive vulnerability
I was shocked. I couldnt
believe within a minute
two minutes they were in.
They see our capitol building is
wide open. What, if Al Qaeda,
what if the nicest terrorists
were among those that preach
that the building yesterday,
that is a nightmare scenario,
heres what needs to happen? We
need a full, transparent
investigation of what went wrong
and who screwed up
number two, those that did break
the law riot breach the
building theyve got to be
arrested and prosecuted,
committed vandalism them too.
We need to make a plan. This
can never happen again and we.
