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 mean, technically, yeah… if by “the Government” you mean “the President”.
From tweeting on December 19th: “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there! Will be wild!”

To the actual speech that day demanding they take back the government and that he would march with them…

“Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated.”
or:
“And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”
ending with:
"We’re going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.
So let’s walk down Pennsylvania Avenue."
So… Trump lured everyone there 1/2 a month ahead of time, gave a speech telling everyone that you have to be strong and fight or you won’t have a country anymore, then turned everyone loose on Congress…
“bUt It WaS ThE GOveRnMenT!!”
But, can anyone ever really prove that Trump was the president?
