Following Donald Trump's speech at CPAC on Sunday, he decided to do what he loves to do the most. And he got on Fox news and on Fox news, he told the host that it happened on January six, the insurrection, it wasn't an insurrection, no folks. It was a love Fest and a beautiful thing. Those were the phrases used by the former president of the United States to describe what took place. You know, you have people facing charges for this insurrection that they carried out, according to them on Trump's orders. And he's sitting there telling Fox news. This is a beautiful thing. There's a love Fest. Here is actually what Donald Trump said. Word for word. Um, it was a tremendous numbers of people, not the capital I'm talking about the rally itself. It was a love Fest. It was a beautiful thing. So he tried to fix himself there.

He tried to say, not, not the capital, obviously. And you let the cat out of the bag though. But see, we have gotten reports over the last month from people that were inside the white house with Donald Trump himself, as he watched the whole thing, play out on TV saying that he was giddy. He was happy that he enjoyed it. And I explained at the time that this is not surprising whatsoever. I don't think anybody's surprised to hear that. But the reason is because Donald Trump and I mentioned this at the time, truly did see this as the ultimate act of it love. And now he has come out and confirmed that this was a love Fest. It was beautiful. And he honestly believes those things. There is nothing that this former president loves more than seeing people admire him. Then seeing people risk their lives to go out there and praise him because let's not forget.

This is an event where five people died, including a police officer. Uh, some of the footage that's been released from this, including the one of the officer, uh, shooting, the young woman is terrifying. I don't care that you disagree with these people. It's, it's horrifying to have to watch these individuals. If you've seen the video, watch them die. Basically. And Trump is out there now telling us this was abusive. Beautiful thing. A love Fest. No, it was a hate rally. It was a hate rally that ended up in a trader event. That is what took place that day. They were, there was love for Donald Trump. Sure. But not the kind of love that anybody should want. Right? It's not familial love, not the love of a significant other, the love you have for anybody else. No, this was love that borders on the psychotic, you know, a not just cultish love, but I want to say stalker-ish level that these individuals have placed Donald Trump up because they truly believe they did.

At the time. Most of them have stopped believing this. They believed that this man would do the same for them because that's the stalker level, right? They hit the point where they're like, I love this person. And even though they don't say it, I know this person loves me. And we're meant to be obviously not in a romantic way with these individuals, but we're meant to somehow be together. We are soulmates. We are connected is what these individuals believed. And when Donald Trump goes out there and he makes more comments like this saying it was a love Fest. And it was beautiful. All he's doing is encouraging the next event to happen, which according to reports could happen March 4th, you know, two days from now, that's what they're expecting. That's what they're predicting. That's why you still have national guard troops. Couple of thousand of them stationed in Washington, DC. Trump knew exactly what he was doing with this particular interview. And hopefully nothing more comes of this, but I guarantee you, plenty of his supporters have seen this Fox news interview that he did now. They heard those words and they took that as a call to action.
