In a new video released on Twitter, President Trump appealed for nonviolence in the wake of last week's deadly siege of the Capitol, but did not comment on his impeachment

Instead Trump focused his remarks on the violence at the Capitol on Jan.

6, which ultimately led the House of Representatives to impeach him for incitement of insurrection, saying “I want to be very clear, I unequivocally condemn the violence that we saw last week. Violence and vandalism have absolutely no place in our country and no place in our movement.”Reporting by Lisa Lambert and Tim Ahmann; Editing by Chris Reese

A week is pretty slow reaction time. We demand better!

This is like a hostage video. Trump doesn’t believe a word he’s saying.

His face and body language show he's still all cocky. He doesn't mean anything he's saying. Quit giving the loser airtime.

PRESIDENT TRUMP WE WILL WIN ❤❤❤❤❤❤✌✌✌✌✌✌🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💣💣💣💣💣💣🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Trump wanted Pence to send votes back to the states for recounts, again & again if he wanted. If Pence had done this, the date by which the inauguration had to occur would have passed. Trump would have remained President? For life? Trump threw the election & set this up?

Who the hell is this guy

too little too late. reconciliation = resignation = impeachment

Interesting. So he *can* denounce things. Seemed he was incapable of denouncing the proud boys at that debate..where instead he told them to “standby” they listened. Asshole.

This will be his defence line when the Senate begins te impeachment trail that he did condemned the violence

What Trump did was accept his last opportunity to speak as all defendant in a trial does before final sentence - to cast himself as remorseful or discuss some positive effort on his part to prevent a crime or one to come . It was scripted for Trump benefit & 4 the senate hearing

This is a problem when u talk out of both sides of ur mouth. He’s only backpedalling & his supporters did exactly what he wanted! He’s a conman & always will be. Good bye, good riddance & don’t let the door hit u on the way out! Inauguration2021 DopeyDon LockHimUp

i wonder what he says direct to his nazi supporters,he says the same or..............nobody believes what Trump says on the video,lies again because he is afraid

Well Donnie, unless you can convince your fans whom you’ve been playing, to keep sending you their money....I sense another bankruptcy coming

I also remember Trump's comment telling the Racist/Bigoted Nazi Proud Boy's to 'Standback and Standby.' Which indicates that Trump wanted violence.

The incidence at Capitol hill was extremely bad. It showed deep division in the society there which has been building since the last few years. Besides it did hurt the image of the people and the country deeply. Let the president be practical and ensure smooth power transition.

Donald Twit for sure

It’s not looking good for the mob who were perhaps hoping for a Trump pardon! Loyalty is a one way street.

now its a teleprompter president and maybe his staff is pointing guns at him.

Violence is still in the minds of his followers because he has poisoned their minds. He has not told them that the election was fair and he lost.

Because impeachment is a joke and no one cares.

He's just covering his 🍑. His rabid fanatics are already whipped into a frenzy and are planning violent retaliation for Trump's impeachment and ouster. Trump wants to be able to claim that he called for peace (although he doesn't mean it).

Yeah well u don't want to give ppl to much to think about. In his video, Trump appealed for nonviolence in the wake of last week's deadly siege of the Capitol which he provoked. Now to also comment on his impeachment would only sound like he's boasting

All underneath the Trump Train!

This CLOWN 🤡 couldn't tell the truth if he got a free tan and his hair comb over refreshed. In that order!

Scared.

It was beautiful. A hollow pantomime for the media and Senate congressionals where he threw his base's ideology under the bus in the same breath.
