In this interview with Barbara Walters, trump makes 2 very telling statements. “Nothing in this world is what it’s cracked up to be,” & “[it’s] about the getting not the having.”

The media has been painting his attempts to overthrow the election as /1
..just another grift. An attempt to use his followers to pay off his debts. And while that is true, it wasn’t the whole truth. This man has lived a life of wealth for a long time. Wealth is old hat to him. And even in the 80s, wealth never satisfied him. Now POWER. Power is /2
..something he had never had before & power amplifies & magnifies the worst traits of man. He is a textbook Malignant Narcissist who thinks he now commands 75 million Americans simply because they voted for him. He sees those 75 million people as HIS ARMY. An extension of HIM /3
And he has been acting accordingly. The TRUMP flags in the capitol building. The TRUMP paraphernalia littering the streets of D.C. He lives for this.

There is a reason he intentionally separates the American People from his MAGA “patriots.” In his mind, he is king, and /4
MAGA are his subjects. It’s why they chant “destroy the GOP,” it’s why they think when he mentioned “a new administration” in his speech yesterday, his followers were tweeting that “soon” he will declare himself the 1st president of a new Republic.

Stop underestimating /5
this man. He must- MUST face consequences to the full extent of the law otherwise he will not stop. He literally said “this is just the beginning.
Look: Black People have been trying to warn Whites about literally EVERYTHING we are seeing unfold now. About white supremacists /6
having infiltrated police departments, that racism wasn’t magically over simply because Obama got elected, about the double standards and white privilege infecting and destroying this country. Listen now: January 6, 2021 was ABSOLUTELY a coup attempt. Bombs were found a both /7
RNC AND the DNC. There were insurrectionists at the capitol there with the intent to take members of Congress hostage and execute them. & the president was the one who explicitly ordered them to “take our country back.” OUR country in the sense that for the last 4 years trump /8
has only ever really spoken directly to his followers. In his speeches and his tweets he dog whistles directly to them and vilifies and demonises “dems,” “libs,” “rinos” and everyone else who doesn’t pledge allegiance to him. This is because in his mind, he is king and his /9
supporters are his subjects. It’s why he refers to him self in third person as “the president.” He is mad.
Can you spot a dictator? Think about his actions over the last 4 years. We have watched him get increasingly unstable as his actions have been allowed to slide w/out /10
consequence. He has been treated like he is above the law, so he starts to believe that he is above the law. And Everytime he commits a crime with impunity, we only ENFORCE THAT BELIEF. So he has grown bolder and bolder and the GOP have enabled him. Even when he puts their /11
lives at risk! I’ll ask again: can you spot a dictator? Are you blinded by the colour of his skin? We have seen the white-privilege and the double standards at work in this country. Insurrectionists can stroll through the capitol building holding flags of treason and piss on /12
the capitol floors, put the feet up on the desk of the Speaker of The House and steal government property & be allowed to stroll right out because of the colour of their skin. Because they are “pro-police.” Because they are white supremacists. Truth be told those cops who /13
let the insurrectionists in were Trump soldier’s. Trojans in Trumps war! You have been asked to imagine if those insurrectionists were people of colour. Take it one step further. Ask yourself what would’ve happened if Donald J Trump was a person of colour. What if he was a /14
President of an African or Middle Eastern Country who refused to accepts the results of a free, democratic election, refused to agree to a peaceful transition of power and then sent his supporters to desecrate the capitol building, take senators hostage, plant bombs at the /15
buildings of the national committees of duly elected officials? Would the media be trying to get us to empathise with his poor misguided followers? Or would the US be raining bombs down on the heads of that nations people under the guise of delivering them their freedom?/16
Can you spot a dictator? Or is your blindspot the colour of his skin? 1/6/21 was a coup attempt by a fascist intended on installing himself as head of state. It is why he refused to order in the National Guard until Pence intervened-for his own safety.
Stop underestimating /17
this man. He is pure evil with absolutely NOTHING to lose. Yes he is a pathological liar but occasionally when he does tell the truth he says it plainly. Yesterday, he said “this is only the beginning..”
Listen. To. Him.
