An investigation by The Washington Post provides the richest understanding to date of Trump’s mindset and the cost of his inaction as democracy came under attack.

What happened on Jan. 6: Trump stands back as rioters breach Capitol

For 187 harrowing minutes, the president watched his supporters attack the Capitol - and resisted pleas to stop them.

Trump watched terror, murder & insurrection. He watched a coup attempt in his name. He watched assassins hunt his vice president. He watched people suffer & die… & did nothing. He was described by his own staff on #January6 as “a total monster”.

After inciting mob attack, Trump retreats in rage. Then, grudgingly, he admits his loss.

Trump’s assault on American democracy over the past two months, culminating with Wednesday’s attack at the Capitol, has left him as isolated as he ever has been in his four years as president.

He was happy to watch on a big screen TV and not quick to call it off and he wasn’t exactly rushed anywhere for his safety was he!

If 1/6 doesn't deserve RICO charges, I don't know what does.

It wasn’t “inaction” - it was purposeful withholding of National Guard
