And there you have it: in a rambling speech in which he jumped from topic to topic, danced, and appeared to mimic someone doing something either stupid or obscene, Trump explained the ideology behind his actions.

“They had the worst policy. How we have to even run against these people—I won’t say cancel the election, they should cancel the election, because the fake news will say, ‘He wants the elections canceled. He’s a dictator.’ ...Nobody is worse than Obama. And the people that surrounded Biden.”
January 7, 2026 at 1:34 PM
“They say when you win the presidency you lose the midterm. I wish you could explain what the hell is going on with the mind of the public because we have the right policy. They don’t. They have a horrible policy. They stick together. They’re violent, vicious, you know. They’re vicious people.”

He continued: "This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President of the United States of America, to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States!" If you trust him on this, I have a bridge to show you.

Trump, who, recall, was ordered to pay $2 million for stealing from a cancer charity, posted this last night:

“I am pleased to announce that the interim Authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil, to the United States of America.

Further, 15 days after the release of the files, the DOJ is required to submit to Congress a report with a summary of all redactions and the legal justification for each redaction. Under the law, the report was due no later than January 3, 2026. The DOJ has not produced this report.
January 7, 2026 at 1:17 PM
Many of the limited number of documents that have been released are heavily redacted. One document that was “released” is 100 blacked-out pages. But the DOJ has not provided a written justification for any redaction.
January 7, 2026 at 1:17 PM
The law allows the DOJ to redact records that “contain personally identifiable information of victims,” material depicting child sex abuse, and other sensitive information. Each redaction “must be accompanied by a written justification published in the Federal Register and submitted to Congress.”

The site blames Capitol Police officers, who defended lawmakers that day, for starting the assault; Democrats, who were the rioters’ main targets, for failing to prevent it; and former V President Mike Pence, who rejected falsehoods about the 2020 election, for allowing the results to be certified.

On the fifth anniversary of the pro-Trump mob attack on the Capitol, the Trump administration created a new page on the official White House website that represented the president’s most brazen bid yet to rewrite the history of the Jan. 6 riot with LIES aimed at absolving him of responsibility.

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.

We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.

We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

Across town at an event with House Republicans, the president continued his efforts to rewrite the history of the assault, condemning those who investigated him for it and playing down his responsibility.

Ms. Hemphill’s remarks came as Democrats worked to commemorate the brutal attack — which Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, said “will be shameful always and forever” — and Mr. Trump’s role in provoking it.
