Donald Trump leaned into fiction on Saturday evening as he blamed Joe Biden for events that happened while Trump was still president and angrily insisted that the FBI was in on a conspiracy to make his followers look bad on January 6, 2021.

The president’s allies in Congress have often been dinged by the press for erroneously attacking the Biden administration for events that transpired in 2020 and the start of 2021, such as Sen. Jim Banks — who just last week wrongly insisted that the 2020 U.S. Census was “prepared by the Biden administration”. Other Republicans, in their zeal to attack Democrats and support calls for a new census, have similarly forgotten who was president that year.

But now Trump himself is doing it. In a Truth Social post Saturday evening, he claimed in all-caps that “the Biden FBI” supposedly “placed 274 agents into the crowd on January 6”. “What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT”, the post concluded.

Obviously, the “Biden FBI” did not exist on January 6, nor did it exist in any of the weeks or months leading up to the attack on the Capitol, when dozens of police officers were injured responding to a violent mob numbering in the thousands as rioters stormed barricades, shattered windows, defaced the hallways of the Capitol complex and battled with law enforcement around the grounds.

1. Orange Bastard is a stupid motherfucker

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. His theory: Biden sent tRump's FBI to turn weak-minded maga manly men to block Biden from becoming President.

It continues: Biden was a mastermind organizing this vast conspiracy and accomplishing it secretly. All this but he was supposedly incompetent to be President.

3. His dementia is a national security issue.

This man is not someone who can be briefed on sensitive, complicated security issues.
And he is not capable of making reasonable logical decisions.

15. I was terrified when I first realized that we were stuck with him again because of the "nuclear football!"

Who knows what this demented revenge-obsessed nut job will do just out of spite!!!

[Attilatheblond]

18. His dementia adds to the national secuirty issue that has existed because of his total lack of morality

[GopherGal]

4. v. confused.

I thought it was all Pelosi's fault.

Too many different stories. I can't keep 'em all straight.

8. Whichever direction the wind blows at the time marks which Democrat is at fault.

5. "leaned into the fiction" Is that what we call lying these days?

[Permanut]

13. Same as the old "alternative facts".

[progressoid]

7. Sure. Why not. Most MAGAs think 9/11 happened on Obama's watch.

[nycbos]

9. He didn't forget his supporters are just that stupid

[Martin Eden]

10. Republicans haven't "forgotten" who was president in 2020.

They are deliberately LYING because they know their voters routinely swallow lies. Fer Chrissake, they believe Trump "tells it like it is."

[Aussie105]

11. Not remembering recent history and restructuring it to suit your own 'feels'

is a classic sign of quite a few mental disorders.

There is plenty of footage showing Trump stirring up the crowd on the day, all he needs to do is his research.
But that is best avoided, right, Trump?

25 him, someone!

12. And of course, we hear this from the BRITISH press.

The American M$M =

14. His supporters are that stupid

Interesting how many of the arrested people were Trump supporters with sufficient evidence to be convicted in trials and get prison time. And then Trump blanket pardoned them all. Were they part of the conspiracy too? Were they FBI agents?



Dude has dementia. But his supporters are apparently into it.

16. Insanity Quote

"You never know how [Donald Trump] is going to react. When he learned for example that he'd lost the election by about three million votes, his instant reaction was insanity; you know, three to five million illegal immigrants somehow were organized in some incredible fashion to vote."

17. Religious conman/scam artist Pat Robertson used to blame Bill Clinton for the Ruby Ridge incident,

which actually took place during George 'Pappy' Bush's presidency in August 1992. Trump lies like Robertson.
