Trump calls on Americans, Big Tech to help ensure peaceful transition: 'NO violence'
Fox News ^ | 11-13-2021 | Brooke Singman

Posted on 01/13/2021 10:49:04 AM PST by Responsibility2nd

EXCLUSIVE: President Trump on Wednesday is calling for "all Americans" to help "ease tensions and calm tempers," saying he does "not" stand for violence "of any kind" -- and he's asking Big Tech to join the effort.

"In light of reports of more demonstrations, I urge that there must be NO violence, NO lawbreaking and NO vandalism of any kind," the president said in a statement to Fox News. "That is not what I stand for and it is not what America stands for. I call on ALL Americans to help ease tensions and calm tempers. Thank You."

A Trump adviser told Fox News the statement will go out as an email from the White House press office. The White House will then attempt to post the statement to all of Trump’s official social media accounts.

The adviser also told Fox News the statement would be posted and distributed through all Trump campaign and political accounts.

"President Trump is asking all Americans to join with him in ensuring that there is an orderly and peaceful transition next week," a senior Trump adviser told Fox News. "President Trump is also asking that Big Tech companies join with him in this effort."

The president’s statement came as the House was debating an article of impeachment against him, saying he incited insurrection, and days after he was permanently suspended from Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

The statement also came just a day after his first public appearance since last week’s Capitol riot, telling reporters he wanted "no violence."

No violence? It's a little too late for that. I hope Trump knows that his decision to not cross the Rubicon will destroy him. His pleas to Big Tech will also go ignored.

There is blood in the water. Or swamp as is the case. And the sharks are in a frenzy.

If something happens to DJT they own it. Lock stock and barrel.

As DON CARLEON ONCE SAID.....

Don Corleone:
I’m a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall Michael - if he is to be shot in the head by a police officer, or be found hung dead in a jail cell... or if he should be struck by a bolt of lightning - then I’m going to blame some of the people in this room; and then I do not forgive. But with said, I pledge - on the souls of my grandchildren - that I will not be the one to break the peace that we have made today.

Don’t be a rube. Pick up a book and read about Trump and stop with the negativity.

Trust Trump. There is no way he would leave this country to these people.

Too late Nancy just burn the flag and country down today.

The Democrats still call us terrorist for not believing the Election Results. They want to brainwash our Children and place us in re-education camps.

The Democrats have gone full blown Communist and the Republicans sit by and let it happen.

Destroy him politically, but allow him perhaps to live a comfortable retirement, safe in the knowledge that some of his grandchildren are free.

The alternative would have been far worse for him and for us.

The Dems are trying sooooo hard to make him disappear from politics....and it ain't gonna happen.

I wish I owned a newspaper. Everyday, I would print a picture of the wall, the converted Post Office in DC, the Skating Rink in NYC, Rally after rally with not even a tad of violence....with thousands....not 12 in hula hoops.

We're not in a movie. It's life. It sucks. And then you die.

Trump never mentions transition to a Biden administration, nor has he made a statement of concession.

After Trump has been deplatformed wonder how many imposters will be posting all sorts of things in his name.

If by "free" you mean his grandchildren will be "free" to obey Big Brother, participating in the Two Minute Hate, I suppose...

" but allow him perhaps to live a comfortable retirement, "

I don't believe the left has any intention of letting him live very long. IMHO

At some point you have to understand he is leaving the country to these people. Not by choice, it is happening and he can’t stop it. And things are going to get much worse for Trump supporters -

“No violence? It's a little too late for that.”

Trump has maintained this from BEFORE he finished talking with supporters at the DC rally.

“While I was highly critical of the President's remarks, he never actually called for violence or a riot. Indeed, he expressly told his followers “to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” Such marches are common in both federal and state capitols.”

He was early, re-announced later that day, and has maintained it all along.

Why are you too obtuse to understand Truth?
