Facing a second impeachment on a charge of ‘incitement of insurrection’ and calls for his removal from office, President Trump offered no apologies for his speech urging supporters to march on the Capitol

JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md./WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump, facing impeachment on a charge of “incitement of insurrection” on Tuesday denied responsibility for his supporters’ violent invasion of the U.S. Capitol last week and said his remarks before the siege were appropriate.

“If you read my speech ... what I said was totally appropriate,” he told reporters at Joint Base Andrews when asked about any personal responsibility he had regarding the Jan. 6 attack when his supporters stormed the Capitol with members of Congress and his own Vice President Mike Pence inside. Trump’s remarks on Tuesday were his first in public since Wednesday, although he released a video on Thursday in which he condemned the violence but did not concede the election.

Trump did not answer a shouted question before leaving the White House about whether he was responsible for the violence at the Capitol, which led to the deaths of six people.

See? Now he's just lying about how what he did last week was wrong but it WAS WRONG and no apology either! He has got to go like NOW and he should also be put in PRISON!

Hes a narcissist he cant accept defeat, he will spiral further and further out of control

Enough already. Silence this voice.

This is following the same pattern as always. Fight resist, Double down on the lies Blame the other side Radio silence for a period of time And then he re emerges softening his rehtoric but still dug into his lies. Who said this time he learned his lesson?
