So to be clear, you're conceding that your whole argument about Trump being unable to deploy any troops in the district was incorrect. I don't blame you for wanting to wrap this up.
> You're made because Trump didn't go against the wishes of the mayor and just deploy more troops?
Um, yes? The real (and obvious) issue is that Trump wanted his supporters to physically interfere. He invited them to a "wild" protest on the 6th, and on that day told them to go "show strength" at the capitol, and said he'd go with them. This is incitement in clear language.
Then, instead of going with his supporters, he hustled back to the white house to watch on TV as his supporters broke into the capitol chanting "hang Mike Pence", and refused to lift a finger to deploy resources to stop it.

- nate_meurer 6y agoYou've already admitted that your argument regarding Trump's power to deploy troops was incorrect. Are you able to elaborate on what parts of my comment you disagree with?
