Donald Trump
(Picture: AP)In the latest sign that former president Donald Trump lacks self-awareness, the Republican has decided to hold a news conference exactly one year on from the day his supporters attacked the US Capitol building.
A statement issued by the ex-Potus says the news conference will be held at Mr Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on 6 January.
It reads: “Why isn’t the unselect committee of highly partisan political hacks investigating the CAUSE of the January 6th protest, which was the rigged presidential election of 2020? Does anybody notice that they want to stay as far away from that topic as possible, the numbers don’t work for them, or even come close.
“The only thing they can do is not talk about it.”
After criticising individuals he considered to be “Republican Rinos” – which stands for Republican in Name Only – Mr Trump added: “I will be having a news conference on January 6th at Mar-a-Lago to discuss all of these points, and more.
Former President Trump will hold a news conference on January 6, 2022 from FL to talk about unproven election fraud claims... similar to what he said in front of a crowd in DC a year before. pic.twitter.com/5kS65W2no0

“Until then, remember the insurrection took place on November 3rd, it was the completely unarmed protest of the rigged election that took place on January 6th.”

Once again, we have to dispel Mr Trump’s nonsense and issue the reminder that claims of “electoral fraud” or a “rigged election” are unsubstantiated and have been disproven.
The relevance of the politician scheduling the event on the anniversary of the riot has not been lost on people, with several calling on the mainstream media to ignore next month’s conference entirely:
Pathetic (and dangerous) counterprogramming attempt.

Former president Trump will mark the anniversary of the fatal riot at the Capitol by hosting a news conference on Jan. 6 at Mar-a-Lago to basically discuss the same things he discussed in his speech a year earlier before pointing the crowd to the Capitol. pic.twitter.com/2pBqvNwsQ1

In a new statement, former President Trump says he will mark the one-year anniversary of the deadly Capitol insurrection by holding a news conference on January 6 at his Mar-a-Lago resort to continue pushing the lie that the 2020 election was stolen.

Nice, the 666th day of the pandemic - and the insurrection day.

Lol
We just hope that history won’t repeat itself on that day, when Mr Trump once again spouts his usual nonsense.
