The meme has been liked nearly 9,000 times and shared 2,400 times as of Monday. In reaction to Mr Trump’s repost, journalist Aaron Rupar sarcastically wrote on Twitter: “rubbing my last 2 brain cells together as I try to remember who ran the government on January 6.”

The former president shared the meme despite a House committee that investigated January 6 declaring Mr Trump the “central cause” of the day’s events. “None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him,” the House panel wrote in its final report.

I wouldn't want to jail either personally, that's actually most of the reason why I don't start insurrections

Same here, many other things I don't do:

  • withhold congress assigned funds to blackmail a foreign country for personal gain
  • Steal protective gear from states during a pandemic
  • Commit tax fraud (this is the condensed version)
  • Rape women
  • Rape underage girls
  • Try and extort/convince states to change a fair election
  • Not illegal usually, but not lie like you're trying to win a high score with your heartbeats
  • Teargas protesters so you can get a photo op in front of a church

Like you need an asterisk now when you tell kids they could grow up to be US President. I know there's tons more.

I can't believe you left out

  • Steal classified documents and show them to people without security clearances like Kid Rock and the Saudis

Can't believe I did either, I knew there was something but there is just so much that makes that man an awful human being and a downside to any society he's allowed to be free in. Like if you sifted out the worst traits a human could have and squeezed 400lbs of it into a 250lb case, you'd end up with that orange douchy turd sandwich.
