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.

    I agree they’ll do their best, but how? With what? Are they going to try to refute Trump’s crazy tweets with other crazy Trump tweets?

    Among the most damning aspects of Trump’s public statements is their lack of consistency – the OP meme we’re discussing is an example. I don’t think this aspect will be refuted by his lawyer demonstrating even more inconsistency.

    The only thing Trump has been consistent about on social media is lying about the 2020 election and personally attacking anyone who says anything against him. I don’t see how either of those behaviors are going to help his lawyers refute anything either.
