He ordered his followers to march to the capitol and “fight like hell” and then didn’t clarify “oh no I meant rhetorically” when they started breaking in and chanting “hang mike pence”

He also did nothing to stop the insurrection while it was happening - he could’ve easily given the order for the military or national guard to intervene and he did no such thing. In fact he watched it all go down on tv and did NOTHING. That is a failure to uphold his oath to protect and defend the constitution.

How is that a reach? His job is literally to protect our country from all enemies foreign and domestic - he literally did not do that.
