The latest one was basically the same as that video, but in text. Something along the lines of "the election was stolen, but go home now."

View on HN

Full text was:

> 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. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!

(By searching portions you should be able to confirm that this is accurate -- please let me know if I mistyped.

This is the link; it's probably cached somewhere, too https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/13469549709107077...)

Yeah that's just ass-covering.

No, it was Trump saying "These things happen" to a mob of people breaking into the Capitol building of the United States.

Edit: Not sure why I'm getting downvoted for this. Here is a screenshot of the removed tweet: https://d.pr/i/Ex15UI/ABdSwruLJz

No, he's saying that people will storm capitol buildings when they think elections are stolen.

Edit: If you're going to downvote me, I welcome an open conversation about why I might be wrong.

Off topic, but I would welcome a feature on HN where people could at least (perhaps anonymously) provide feedback or a canned response or something when they downvote.

Same; I value constructive criticism and don't mind people telling me I might be in the wrong. It's not the fact that I'm getting downvoted that perturbs me, it's that I might not realize what's wrong about my statement if someone doesn't speak up.

downvote should not be an 'i disagree button' it is intended as a democratized moderation tool.
