Sure can
Though it helps to know the backstory
A good starting point is an npr story entitled “On Far-Right Websites, Plans To Storm Capitol Were Made In Plain Sight”
AFTER you understand the back drop (whcih TRUMP knew about remeber he is a busy tweeter)
here is a breif timeline (I posted this on another thread in answer to a simmiler question)
On January 7 (when the outcome was inevitable) and people were in Washington for the planned for violence, what did he do. did he protest the result but encourage calm like a normal person?
No of course not, he hates the country far too much for that, instead he further inflamed his supporters and threw his loyal VP on the bus by demanding of him an act he had to have known was illegal and impossible. Naturally this further inflamed the masses
The crown shouted “”Fight for Trump! Fight for Trump! Fight for Trump!”” – remember the crowd that arrived planning violence. What did Trump do, did he urge peaceful protest.? No of course not He said “Thank you” and He further inflamed tensions with “We will never give up. We will never concede.” “Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore, and that is what this is all about.”
AFTEr the rioting started Trump still Encouraged them calling them ““These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long,”” before telling them to go home
These are not the words of someone who condemns violence .
compare his speech before to his concession speech. THAT was a normal speech. compare the difference in tone.
Note there was no real practical change that occurred Jan 6-7 in Congress. The result wasn’t in doubt. The change is Trump realized his legacy is now in tatters with even the GOP saying he should be removed.
It isnt the media. The GOP senate understood Trump’s speech for what it was . IF you think all of them, all the rioters, and all of us got it wrong, and only you and a few others understand how poorly misunderstood innocent Trump was.
I’m not sure what you mean by “actual incitement “. No he never said “OK let’s storm the Capitol” But he did egg on a group that came in town planning to storm the capitol
hope this helps
