Trump says the storming of the Capitol had nothing to do with him. It happened just by pure chance happened minutes after he told the mob to go to the Capitol. "We're going to walk down to the Captiol…” he told them. As always  true to his word he went… back home to the White House. He'd lit the match and now he wanted to just sit back and watch the fire. "Nothing to do with me, I was in the Oval Office watching it on TV, officer.  As a matter of fact I was eating a ham sandwich.”
