Is Trump guilty of inciting mob violence against the US Capitol? Or was he too stupid to see what the crowd he summoned was going to do?

Is Trump guilty of inciting mob violence against the US Capitol on Jan.6? Or is he innocent, because he was too stupid to recognize what the angry crowd he had summoned to Washington was going to do?

    Look,  he's either the brilliant strategist cons make him out to be, or he's a complete imbecile........you can't have it both ways. 

    Trump knew exactly what he was doing, and by all reports,  watched the unfolding riot on  TV with GLEE, and had to be FORCED to put out a statement, and waited HOURS to call out the National Guard, and it was finally  Mike Pence,  not Trump,  who did so........which means TRUMP had no interest in stopping a deadly riot  once it unfolded. 

    The very riot he incited and stoked and hoped for.

    He lied about covid: https://news.yahoo.com/trump-team-suppressed-covid...

    As a candidate (2015) - 2016 Trump lied knowing and intentionally about the election being rigged.  Every time someone said he was going to lose he screamed rigged literally thousands of times:

    He knew his followers were and still are too rabid and stupid to understand the truth.  His supporters still remain the greatest threat to America.  I was a pretty militant libertarian until 2016.  Though will fully support Biden in removing all pro-Trump.

    I still don't understand who knew what. Why were there no extra police, national guard? Why didn't we know? Some people follow Trump news closely. Why didn't they know?

    It’s a fine point. Since he was enjoying it, it’s not hard to believe that he did it on purpose, but it’s damn hard to prove. He watched his language. I see reasonable doubt. By the way, I loathe him and wish him the worst.

    Democrats exaggerated the whole thing in order to create a false narrative.  It borders on fraud but is definitely a farce.

    They were paid Antifa crisis actors paid by Hillary Clinton to sabotage Trump's chance of turning over the election on account of all the election fraud that got Biden "elected"
