After arsonist Donald Trump incited a riot that resulted in violence and mayhem, the outgoing president promised there would “will be an orderly transition on January 20th” to the Biden administration. However, his statement also said that he disagreed “with the outcome of the election.” Trump promised an orderly transition, but there was no mention of a peaceful transition, and he just had to mention his grievance over the election results that have fueled his supporters into believing his lies. President-elect Joe Biden handily won the popular and electoral vote. That’s a fact.
After the chaos ensued at the Capitol with Trump supporters seizing the building, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf issued a statement criticizing “some supporters of the President” for the violence that ensued and called on Trump to “strongly condemn” it, according to CNN’s Daniel Dale, who adds that Trump then promptly “withdrew Wolf’s nomination to be full Secretary” as a result.
Less than two hours after Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf issued a statement criticizing “some supporters of the President” for the Capitol violence and calling on Trump to “strongly condemn” it, Trump…withdrew Wolf’s nomination to be full Secretary.

Trump has no remorse for inciting the storming of the Capitol by his domestic terrorist supporters, in fact he has indicated that he wants them to fight on.
ENOUGH
Impeach. Remove. Arrest. Imprison. Trump

25th amendment. Now. We cannot allow this madman to control so much as a luncheon menu.

No one believes this:
White House spokesman Judd Deere: “The withdrawal occurred yesterday and was not related at all to Wednesday’s events or the Acting Secretary’s comments this morning. Acting Secretary Wolf remains the acting secretary and continues to perform the duties of his office.”

Trump apparently refuses to fully condemn the violence that resulted after he urged his supporters to march to the Capitol. The outgoing president is a malignant narcissist that is incapable of accepting responsibility for his own actions. Trump needs to be immediately removed from office by invoking the 25th Amendment. Vice President Mike Pence can take over for the next two weeks to ensure a safe and peaceful transition of power. And when even a thoroughly shitty person such as Chad Wolf is calling Trump out, then we’re in a lot of trouble.
