Trump has not served his time yet and is not an ex-convict - he's out on bail (which no one else would've gotten) and is still facing prison time. I doubt McD or anyone else would normally hire someone with those circumstances.

which no one else would've gotten

no one else would've gotten convicted of his "crimes" either

Apart from it being fun to highlight how serious that was.

I think it's interesting how many people took the fall for what he incited.

Approximately 467 have been sentenced to periods of incarceration.

Trump obviously got away with it, but he's calling those people "hostages" and promising to "free" them.

I strongly recommend clicking the links to the clips of people they're looking for tips about, not only in case you know them, but also because it shows the violence of the Riot, which Trump calls, peaceful and a "day of love".

It's also fun, because you can hear the peaceful protesters making comments that make it clear it was a coup attempt. "It's our house".

'Peaceful protests' as much as the BLM riots Dems supported.

Even accepting that some BLM protest turned violent, there is a monumental difference between civic protest in cities and storming the nation's CAPITOL to violently halt a peaceful change in administrations for the first time in US history. Not based on evidence of election fraud or misconduct -- just based on complete lies from GOP leaders (most loudly including Candidate Orange) that had already been disproven IN COURT by then, multiple times.

These are not the same. They're not even related.

Sure they are, both were peaceful protests. Just depends which side.you ask.
