He could have just not shown up to the inauguration. He could have declared a state of emergency. He could have taken control of the military. He could have done any number of things, but he didn’t. Instead, he stepped down when the time came. That’s not a dictatorial thing to do when you have power.

Oh yeah, and Trump wanted to protect the Capitol Building.

He didn’t go to the inauguration and what makes you think that has a goddamn thing to do with it.

Trump was one of only three presidents to be too much of a whiny bitch, but the outgoing president is not needed for a new president to be sworn in

  Okay. That’s one thing he did on that list. Now how about the rest?

wouldn’t have mattered the ceremony would have taken place regardless of trumps involvement as the people have already voted

he would have been laughed at

that is ILLEGAL as American military can NOT be used against Americans

10k guards would have been overkill and a waste of taxpayers money. Trump and his chronies inticed the J6 riots. Who knows if this guy is even being truthful anyways?

Trump is a known liar, cheater and total POS.

If he cared about the people he wouldn’t be going on and lying about his croud sizes. The man is a narcissist and only concerned about himself

  Yes, but if he wanted so badly to keep power, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t have shown up.
  
  People don’t laugh when the police/military come enforcing it.
  
  If he’s a dictator, what does he care? He could have used the National Guard, by the way. No such restriction on them.
  
  Do you really want to call protecting Congress “a waste of taxpayers money”? And lying under oath is a pretty serious crime, especially given Trump was no longer President when the interview happened. Why was this interview suppressed to begin with, anyway?

    OK, Trump didn’t have people in the right spots to accomplish his dictatorial overthrow. This is why we are hearing from the generals from the Trump admin saying he wanted them to be like Hitlers generals, they were the lynch pin of the plot. You can’t be a dictatorship when the military will say fuck you.
    
    There are appropriate number of people that should be used hence why 350 were used. They were also not expecting the crowd from trumps rally to head to the capitol because Trump told them to.
    
    Seriously man, you are beyond gullible, you should have gone to Trump University

    I mean, clearly 350 wasn’t an appropriate number. Especially not unarmed soldiers who are basically functioning as glorified police.
    
    Every soldier I’ve seen discussing the presidents has said they’d take Trump over Biden. And why didn’t these generals sound the alarm about Trump’s apparent passion for Hitler during the last election?
