There was a little bit of poetry there, natch. And, of course, within that poetry was Trump's usual 'not me' method of taking accountability, and the non-specific "everybody" which we know mostly means 'nobody"

As far as this is concerned,
we want no violence.
Never violence.
We want absolutely no violence.
And on the impeachment
it’s really a continuation
of the greatest witch hunt
in the history of politics.
It’s ridiculous.
It’s absolutely ridiculous.
This impeachment is
causing tremendous
anger, and you’re doing it,
and it’s really a terrible
thing that they’re doing.
For Nancy Pelosi
and Chuck Schumer
to continue on this path,
I think it’s causing tremendous
danger to our country
and it’s causing tremendous anger.
I want no violence
Thank you very much. Thank you.

I think that big tech is
doing a horrible thing
for our country and
to our country. And
I believe it’s going to
be a catastrophic mistake
for them. They’re
dividing and divisive,
and they’re showing
something that I’ve been
predicting for a
long time. I’ve been
predicting it for a long time,
and people didn’t act on it.
But I think big tech
has made a terrible
mistake, and very, very
bad for our country. And
that’s leading others to do
the same thing, and it causes
a lot of problems and a lot of
danger. Big mistake. They shouldn’t
be doing it. But there’s always
a counter move
when they do that.
I’ve never seen
such anger as I see right
now, and that’s a
terrible thing.
Terrible thing.
And you have to
always avoid violence.
And we have — we have
tremendous support.
We have support probably
like nobody has ever
seen before. Always have
to avoid violence.
So if you read my speech
— and many people have
done it, and I’ve seen it
both in the papers
and in the media,
on television —
it’s been
analyzed, and people thought
that what I said was totally
appropriate. And if you
look at what other people have said
— politicians at a high level —
about the riots during the summer,
the horrible riots in Portland
and Seattle, in various other —
other places, that was a real problem
— what they said.
But they’ve analyzed
my speech and words
and my final paragraph,
my final sentence,
and everybody,
to the T,
thought it was
totally appropriate.
Okay, thank you. Thank you.

And now I'd like
to briefly address
the events of last week.
Millions of our citizens
watched on Wednesday
as a mob
stormed the Capitol
and trashed
the halls of government.
As I have consistently
said throughout my
administration, we believe
in respecting America's
history and traditions,
not tearing them down.
We believe
in the rule of law,
not in violence or rioting.
Now is the time
for our nation to heal,
and it's time for peace
and for calm
Respect for law
enforcement and the
great people within
law enforcement -
so many are here -
is the foundation
of the MAGA agenda.
And we're a nation
of law, and
we're a nation
of order. That
is why we're here today,
to talk about
what we must do
to uphold the
rule of law in America
and how we must
continue to support our law
enforcement heroes,
which is exactly what you are.
Do you feel like a hero?
Yeah I think you do.
Right? (Applause)
You do and you are.
Worth noting?
It took the 'law and order' president, owner of the MAGA agenda, supporter of our law enforcement heroes, three days to lower the flag to half staff in honor of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who was murdered during the MAGA attack on the seat of our democracy.
Does he feel like a hero?
Yeah, I think he does.
Right? (boos, jeers, rotten tomatoes, raspberries, Bronx Cheers, and more.)
He does, and he's not.
