He should show his support in a real, material way, like paying their legal fees. It's the least he could do to support such "heroic" citizens right? Aww who am I kidding? Trump doesn't even pay Trump's legal fees. Words are cheap and the only time Trump isn't cheap is when he's an expensive mistake.

I’ll have you know he opens his rallies with the Jan 6 Choir’s rendition of the national anthem.

This is a real thing btw…

edit: Apologies to the esteemed group, they are actually named "J6 Prison Choir"

If they seize power, there’ll be warships named after these goons.

He isn't. He is attempting to frame them as such. Stop pretending he has the power to decide these things.

The thing about martyrdom is you don’t have to see them that way, only those who support them
