Natalo si Donald Trump sa halalan noong 2020 at alam niya ito. Ang ebidensiya na iniharap ng Komite ng Enero 6 ay ginawa iyon nang napakalinaw ngayon. Paulit-ulit na sinabi sa kanya ng mga napiling loyalista at legal na eksperto ni Trump mula sa Attorney General Bill Barr na talagang walang katotohanan ang mga paratang sa pandaraya na patuloy niyang inuulit. Ang mga kasinungalingan ni Trump ay nagpatuloy na pumukaw sa galit ng kanyang pinakamatibay na mga tagasuporta – galit na siya ay magpapakawala sa Kapitolyo sa Enero 6, sa pagsisikap na ibagsak ang halalan na natalo niya sa pamamagitan ng puwersa.

He even decided to monetize his lies, raising more than $250 million for a legal defense fund that was never intended to mount a legal defense. That money was used to line the pockets of his inner circle – including paying his son’s girlfriend a $60,000 appearance fee to speak at the January 6^ika rally at the White House. It was grift, pure and simple, but on a massive scale. Donald Trump was not content to just ignore the will of the American people and attempt to steal the 2020 election in a wide-ranging criminal conspiracy, he was determined to make a lot of money doing it.
