Trump's Desperate Attempt to Distract from the 5th Anniversary of his Attack on the U.S. Capitol - Glenn Kirschner
In typical "tail-wagging-the-dog" fashion, Donald Trump tries to distract the attention of the American people from his many and mounting problems by launching an unlawful attack on a foreign sovereign nation, Venezuela.
He then goes on TV on the morning of January 6. 2026, and gives a long, rambling press conference - his decline and dementia on full display - and tries to distract the American people from the fact that today marks the fifth anniversary of Trump's attack on and refusal to stop once in progress the United States Capitol.
But Trump's distractions will fail. The people of the United States, who are dedicated to the rule of law and determined to preserve American democracy, will not be distracted.
To that end, a group of us will be at an event at the National Press Club in DC to commemorate the January 6 anniversary.
The event is being hosted by Jim Acosta and can be live streamed on Jim's Substack and YouTube channels. - Glenn Kirschner - 01/06/2026.
