Oh please, the geniuses at the NYT opinion pages are probably working on pieces praising him for shouldering the burden of healing the nation for finally conceding or some shit lol

I mean he's still a petty little shit, after the DHS Chief condemned Trump for the violence..

An hour after Wolf released his statement, the White House announced the withdrawal of Wolf’s nomination to be DHS secretary in a nonacting capacity.

Trump had nominated Wolf in August to take the position he has held in an acting capacity since 2019. The Senate Homeland Security Committee had advanced the nomination and it was awaiting a vote on the Senate floor.

No, he is still guilty for inciting a riot, an attempted coup and has the blood of people who died on his hands.. showing remorse after the fact does not in anyway excuse the act.

I almost imagine someone behind the camera with a gun to Ivanka's head going 'read it Donald, read it or face the consequences..'

You'd have to be pointing it at HIS head before he agreed.

His last impeachment had slim chances due to him still having the loyalty of the Republican party. Thats not a certainty for him any more. Like this is Donald Trump were talking about. Do you really think he just saw the light of all of a sudden?

Yes, I actually think he did. Otherwise, he would have threatened Republicans before admitting that he was wrong.

Hes conceding so they don't 25th him and then start prosecuting him for everything from incitement to riot to tax evasion.

Remember, Pence his mad at him and wouldn't pardon him. So he has to stay in longer, just long enough to finalize his escape to Scotland plan.

This whole thing was clearly planned out. Donald Trump and his fans were trying to do some serious harm to those senators.

No Donald you can't suddenly condemn it now that it failed. We all remember you celebrating it and then trying to excuse it.
