As he did after he incited the attack on our Capitol on January 6th, 2021. No, he would never do such a thing. Those folks were all victims of DOJ weaponization. He had to pardon all of them to prove to himself that they were innocent. To prove that he was innocent. So he created the big lie that the election was stolen.
As he did with the war he started in Iran. He bombed them to oblivion. He killed all their leadership and destroyed all their military. Yet, he could not stop the attacks upon his friends in the area or the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. So, his reasoning that validated all his actions was that he kept the world safe from the nuclear weapons of the ayatollahs. That made all the high prices for food and gasoline worth his ill-advised effort and whatever price he had to pay afterwards. It was all a big lie.
And the latest fiasco, when he makes an inside deal with one of his "friends" to re-do the Reflection Pool in a beautiful new flag-blue color, was nothing short of a disaster. The taxpayers were hit up for $14 million dollars and there is more to come. He blamed his fiasco on "vandals". It was radical Democrats and antifa that filled the pool with stinky green slime, with the base covering falling apart. That was his latest big lie.
No doubt, there have been several others, and there will be more.

Understand: Trump is having random police departments arrest (or issue citations to) people sticking their hand in the reflecting pool to COVER UP how his corrupt contracting fucked up the reflecting pool.

These arrests are a criminal cover-up of Trump's own corruption.
