Former President Trump, in a statement, said he '…never threatened, or spoke about, to anyone, a coup of our Government. So ridiculous!' The Morning Joe panel reflects on Trump's words and the events of January 6.

Trump Refutes Idea Of Pursuing A Coup, Also Criticizes General Milley
He said he isn’t, so he is.
Agreed yes 👍
yup. Anything trump feels important enough to tell the public is guaranteed to be a lie.
@adamf663 the, “if I was going to do a coup,” pretty much gives his 5 year old logic away. Never forget that Russia wanted him president because of his inferiority complex, and his deeply unstable nature.
💯
General Mark Milley is a true patriot. He is one of the only people that give me hope for our armed forces.
@Josef Josef says Elijah isn’t American……lmfao
@Armandhammer <— Twinkle toe boys come out and play.. Combat Veterans "Suckers & Losers" are waiting for you.. 😆😁
@Dittzx Bring it.
Don´t let the fascist treasonists get away with it, they are fighting like cornered rats.
@Elijah M. Stephenson isn’t that what y’all are doing now?
Of course he did. Trump has no loyalty to others.
@Earth Worm Dirt trump did want his people to swear loyalty, Comey didn’t swear loyalty to trump and look what happened to him. Why do you think trumps minions slavish praise on trump all the time, and if they didn’t they were fired.
@ForumLight the police did NOT let anyone in, the democrats did NOT conspire with anyone, antifa was NOT there nor were they conspired with. NO, there was NO bailout payroll. lol the far right are the instigators in riots. YOu have NOT posted any FACTS at all.
No Trump has loyalty to the Prosperity of the American people,
@Dank Jankings, you’re right, no Trump has a loyalty to the prosperity of the American people, not Donald J or Donald Jr. or Ivanka or Eric or…………
@ForumLight Wow, did you miss any conspiracy theories or did you manage to hit all of them on the way by?
Adds a new dimension to Tucker Carlson’s attack against Gen Milley; I’m sure Fox News got wind that the General talked to this book’s author.
As for Tucker, that spoiled entitled brat, if you say low IQ person that obviously means you misunderstand what IQ measures and shouldn’t be taken seriously as a credible judge of anyone’s intelligence.
@Ricky Marasigan Who said anything about “low IQ’?
The books authors were two reporters from The Washington Post. C’mon man, you know the thing 🤤
@Buck What is the name of the book? And is it out yet?
@AJ Tate hahahahaha
Of course he’ll deny it. He lies. The s****y thing is this another thing he’s going to away with.
It’s just another straw on that poor camel’s back that broke long ago.
With smart people on top of him, no one will believe his denials….
Literally the only thing that stopped the coup is his monumental arrogance and abject stupidity.
@GoForBroke442 Are you going to feel that way when the other side decides they will no longer tolerate a Republican in the White House. From now on we just attack the Capital if we don’t like the outcome. It has to work both ways, so remember when the next Republican wins but we decided we aren’t going to have it.
@Christian 153 it’s blue junior
@ireman570 Junior?
@proud Liberal go ahead, by all means if there happened to be corruption on the opposing side it would be your right. A little revolution is a good thing, and I am not a Republican.
@proud Liberal Remember Madonna with a huge crowd at DC when Trump was elected saying that they should blow up the White House?
Having any Republikkkan on the Jan 6th investigation, is like having Al-Qaeda on the 9/11 Commission.
The Republikkkans in Congress and Trump were part of the coup.
She might have actually grown a brain . We will see.
That some reps were involved is dead certain, don´t let them torpedo a full investigation.
Greg M you can’t just denounce the entire opposition as a terrorist group. Your totalitarianism is showing.
Absolutely
So the ones saying they believe some of their party were involved were also involved? The logic doesn’t pan out. Please, use fact over emotions.
I hear prison can offer a long period of “introspection”.
Can you just imagine .. locked in a cell.. no tv.. no phone .. I pity anyone within earshot of his insane ramblings.. They should issue ear plugs as a matter of human decency to all cell mates within range.
@Wilfried Hölscher ‘FROM YOUR LIPS, TO GOD’S EAR’
@sharon olsen nah. Put him in an isolated cell. Come back in four weeks to dispose the corpse.
@ForumLight were you off planet 1/6? Did your RW blinders prevent you from seeing lindel’s notes after meeting trump at the white house with such lovely items like ‘invoke insurrection act’ and ‘declare martial law?’
@yootoober2009 His fragile widdle ego won’t let him have anything but yes-men around him, to the point of delusional and paranoid psychosis. Instead of grounded advisors cluing him on reality, he prefers sycophants and the craziest yes-men win his favor.
Hey he wasn’t doing a coup, but if he was he wouldn’t do it with Milley.
There’s the Trump ‘logic’ in a nutshell.
Just like his denial of sexual assault saying the woman wasn’t attractive enough for that.
@Drumpf Sucks Who sounds like a Nazi?
The insurrection was the violent left wing riots during all of 2020 that burned gov buildings and police buildings and businesses. They were attempting to overthrow democracy and establish a socialist police states.
@W.E. Rob your GED is showing again.
@Mark Johnstone I was just gonna say–I guess Milley wasn’t pretty enough.
Breaking news: a liar continues to lie lol
Milley is a neo Soviet who believes people should be controlled. He needs to be removed. He is a threat to democracy
Not “cult-like.” A CULT. Be honest; be direct. All data and evidence support the diagnosis.
Good girl. We see you comrade.
What evidence, what data? You mean the crap on MSM 🤣🤣 That’s not evidence nor data.
@stephen ashton You heard that Millley switched his major at MSU (Go Bobkats) from Leninism to Trotskyism? I don’t care what you “heard”! How is what “heard” evidence of anything!
@James Dean It’s called reality. You should visit earth more often.
@Buck No evidence like believing anything that your pathological LYING cult leader tells you! 🤣🤣
“If I was going to do a coup, it wouldn’t be with Milley!”
#1 no President should EVER utter those words. Not even as a joke.
#2 Milley’s entire job would have been to oppose a coup, which is what he did. And he was successful.
@Michael Angellotti no it really isn’t but you are the typical Early stage TDS sufferer.
Trump would never hire anyone as competent as Milley.
Milley is a neo Soviet. He believes in government control. He is a threat to democracy
@Graham McFadyen Hill They should have asked him, who then would you do a coup with?
@Kithara Yes that is how he got all those medals and title of General of Joint Chiefs. Total incompetent.
“If I were going to do a temper tantrum or a coup, I would never invite General Milley. For a temper tantrum, I would invite Rudy Ghoulianai, and for a coup, I would invite Stephen Miller. So Nanny, nanny, boo-boo!”
Loser Trump, July 2021
Are we really expected to believe a toxic narcissist and serial liar when he says he didn’t do something? For all the people he suddenly didn’t know, the Dumpster is coming in with no credibility
Just add ‘failed coup attempt’ to Trump’s long, long list of failures.
@Logan M Trump cannot be “reinstated”. There is no direct mechanism, and the seven-point “plan” first depends upon some unlikely happenings, then upon Trump, as Speaker of the House succeeding Biden and Harris after they are impeached. As they would be impeached separately, they (either one) would simply appoint a new Vice President ad infinitum. Trump cannot (and certainly should not) be reinstated.
@Logan M very funny Trump troll, continue to believe these lies all you want, nothing these idiots do will change anything, Trump won’t be president ever AGAIN, cause he LOST, you know why he lost? Because there was no fraud….
@Shawn Hartmann don’t worry, he won’t, if he attempts another one of his futile coups, Biden will be ready for him.
He is in Mar-a-Lago opening a coup-sino to gamble on the future. He will run that one into the ground as well.
yes unlike Bidens successes
When trump told the insurrectionists “We love you”, he meant he and Putin.
You mean trespassers.
dekal and when Biden caved to Putin’s every wish at their summit in Switzerland, he kept to the previous administrations agenda on dealing with the Russian federation. The rossiyskaya federatsiya.
Criminal trump is going to prison
@Truth91 when
@Truth91 …wish I had a dollar for each time you said that.
Please don’t forget that trump literally said, just recently: “when the poll is bad, I say it’s fake; when the poll is good, i say it’s the most accurate poll…”. Republicans are defending that.
Trumputin claimed that there was the “atmosphere of a picnic”…where, at Hanging Rock?
Trump: “I won right? Everybody knows I won. Anybody who doesn’t know I won is fired. It isn’t a coup, because I won”!
Imagine being a known draft dodger and still feeling like you have the right to criticize General Milley.
