Trump “condemns” the riots he instigated.

That wasn't Trump. It was a Trump double with monotone computerized voice condemning the violence he instigated. The proof was in his use of the word "love". It is an emotion that he is incapable of.

He twists himself into a knot, as do the people who always defend him

The only thing being instigated is that huge pile of BS falling from your mouth.

He still thinks people will forgive and move on, like they had been. He's wrong. That ship has sailed.
