Donald Trump “love” for attackers

US President Donald Trump cannot always hide his attitude towards enemies. As it was visible at the beginning of the 2015 election campaign, Trump has shown his love for his supporters even after the attack on the Capitol building in Washington yesterday.

A group of pro-Trump activists stormed the Capitol building on Wednesday as the official recognition ceremony of President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory began in Congress. Four people were killed and at least 14 were injured in the attack. 52 people were arrested in that incident.

President Trump gently urged the attackers to leave. In a video, he said sympathetically to the attackers, ‘Our love for you. You are really special. ‘

In the video, he again referred to the ‘conspiracy theory’ about the 2020 elections and said that he had won. He said, ‘I understand your suffering. I know you are hurt. The election has been stolen from us.

‘However, you have to go back home now. We have to maintain peace, ‘he said.

In a post on social media, he said, “This is what happened after the election was snatched away after the victory.”

Later, Twitter and Facebook removed some of his statements and suspended his account for some time, citing policy violations.

After Trump’s anti-immigration speech in 2015, a homeless man was beaten by two men for referring to his speech. Noting that Trump doesn’t know anything about the incident, he said, “I would say those who are following me are enthusiastic enough. They love this country. They want the country to be great again. ‘

“It was all right, we need more like this,” Trump told a rally in 2016 about a pro-Trump punch to a protester.

In 2016, a woman was killed in violence against protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia. Trump initially blamed “several parties” for the attack. Trump later told a news conference referring to the “neo-Nazi” and “extreme left” parties, “on the one hand there were bad people, and on the other the people were very violent.”

“No one wants to say that,” he said. However, that is what I will say now. ‘

Asked about the neo-Nazis, Trump said, “There were some very bad people on both sides, as well as some good people.”

“When the looting started, the shooting started,” Trump said on Twitter, after several buildings and shops were damaged in protests in Minneapolis following the death of George Floyd in May last year.

During the first presidential debate in September 2020, moderator Chris Wallace asked Trump if he would blame white hegemonic and militia groups. In response, he did not blame anyone but said, “I am willing to do that.”
