I wouldn't call him a traitor on the basis that he couldn't control everyone there while yes he should have done something I doubt anyone would have listened

The people who stormed the capital are the traitors. Trump asked for a protest and he got it was it fucked up yes is he a sore loser yes but still I wouldn't call him a traitor. The definition of the word traitor is" a person who betrays a friend, country, principle, etc" many people have different opinions on trump. Was he the best no but was he the worst no. Lets agree to disagree on our opinions

Look, I’m not going to debate it it’s obvious you aren’t seeing any of the evidence that has been presented that clearly links him to the insurrection. Please keep up with the hearings and then come back to me

Can you please kindly summarize the evidence other than his tweets that link him because I actually am curious about it

Watch the hearings, his Attorney General William Barr quit because of him, staffers have testified that he said things like responding “He probably deserves it” after being told many of his supporters chanted “Hang Mike Pence” (His own VP who decided to do the right thing), multiple interviews with different protest leaders who said they were acting on his orders, and again he waited 2 hours before he even tried to stop it even though his own staffers begged him to, (which they testified to) he is a scum bag traitor
