The meme has been liked nearly 9,000 times and shared 2,400 times as of Monday. In reaction to Mr Trump’s repost, journalist Aaron Rupar sarcastically wrote on Twitter: “rubbing my last 2 brain cells together as I try to remember who ran the government on January 6.”

The former president shared the meme despite a House committee that investigated January 6 declaring Mr Trump the “central cause” of the day’s events. “None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him,” the House panel wrote in its final report.

    The meme said that it was a government staged riot and that the government also knew that the election was fraudulent. Obviously, neither are true.

    Trump is trying to claim that the government somehow staged 1/6 like the crowd wasn’t really Trump supporters whipped up into a frenzy by him and set loose on the Capitol. Instead, it was some mixture of deep state FBI agents and antifa who conspired to make it seem like Trump did this.

    It’s total garbage and is easily debunked, but Trump doesn’t care about the truth. That explanation would absolve him if any guilt so he’ll cling to that regardless of the facts
