Why hasn't Donald Trump asked his supporters to not march on the state capitals?

I think this would be the least he could do to de-escalate a tense situation.  All previous presidents would have done this out of duty to their country.

    It's their Constitutional right to protest peacefully. Would you take away that right?

    Ever the coward, he told his rally to go to the Capitol and fight, then watched on TV as his people while chanting to hang the Vice President did murder a cop.

    But dead Americans, whether by Covid or murder, is good because Putin doesn't have to pay a bounty.

    I know, right. Those capitals are reserved for BLM and AUNT TIFA to burn and loot and they are all chock fullo old people for them to intimidate and smack around.

    Because the man needs his immature ego to be continually reinforced and the best way to do that is to keep his diluded supporters supporting him.   Marching in protest is legal but when it escalates to outright violence, it's NOT.

    why should he , after all the democrats didnt stop the looting and rioting in new york or washington did they !!!i never saw trump telling anyone to protest didnt he !

    Because it's his final play. If he could get them to riot in 50 locations all over America, then he could justify invoking the Insurrection Act. Declare martial law and declare himself dictator for life. It was supposed to happen to day the 17. If they wait until inauguration day it will be too late.

    He called for peaceful protest, a peaceful march last go around. That has been translated into inciting violence.  It does not matter what he says, it will be twisted into what he was really thinking, what he really meant, just like the impeachment this time around is based on.

    The man lacks the grace, good manners or common decency, he still wants to pretend he won.
