In his last two tweets, Donald Trump asked his supporters to (1) remain peaceful and (2) respect the Capitol Police as well as law and order. The Capitol was breached before Trump stopped speaking to the crowd that was gathered at the Ellipse, more than a mile away. And Democratic politicians, including DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, rejected offers of National Guard troops at least two days before January 6. Why not take a look at video footage of the events in Sri Lanka last July? That’s what an actual insurrection looks like. You are misinformed, maybe willfully so.

I think that you misinformed yourself, too. My article is just about that: limited seeing - limited perception - wrong worldview - wrong words - wrong actions.

I'm not going to prove you something. I’m not interested in particular tweets of D. Trump then or now. I try to see the whole picture formed not just by NYT or the footage from Sri Lanka and have my own opinion about this person. I stated it in the article and explained why. Write your own article or book and explain there why Trump is not scoundrel, liar, cheater and traitor.

Your article contains errors of fact, easily verified. If, as you say, you are not interested in looking at widely available evidence and correcting your errors, then obviously you have no claim to seeing “the whole picture.”

You cannot see the support for Trump nationally and internationally, so you have to select the supporting details deliberately and build your world in which Trump is the appropriate face of the nation. I personally don’t like such a face, but you may be right and it is the real face of current American elite and America deserves it.

To see the whole, you need to get away from the details and look at the picture from afar and in time. So I am not interested in Trump's particular tweets and words. For example, if he wouldn't have called on his followers on January 6, 2021 to "fight like hell," he wouldn't have to write the tweets you mentioned. It is obviously silly – to get in for getting immediately out, but you prefer to see just the last part and present it as “fact”, manipulating the truth. From my point of view, Trump has 7-8 out of 10 statements that are delusional or false and that is also a fact that I refer to in my article.

Ok, I'm not going to change your mind. Bring your truth to the people. Even Trump is good for something. For example, he is very good for collapsing the United States, nobody can fulfill that better now. And it is a separate question whether it’s already time for the US to break into pieces.
