"The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future," Trump tweeted on Friday morning. "They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!"
Minutes later, the president issued another tweet, writing that he would not be attending the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.
The tweets came hours after Trump released a pre-recorded video decrying the violence in the U.S. Capitol as un-American.
"The demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol have defiled the seat of American democracy," Trump said, reading his speech from a teleprompter. "To those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country. And to those who broke the law, you will pay."
I read it did you? His voters are patriots the rioters are criminals and you are too blinded by bias to comprehend a damn thing.
