You expect far too much of the general public; the overwhelming majority of the population is retarded. Of course it wasn't a good move, but that is a direct reflection of leadership or lack there of. Which brings me back to my point, Trump isn't a good leader. He got a bunch of people fired up about their country being in peril and brought them to DC, then abandoned them. Why didn't he have anyone on the ground controlling the crowd? Why didn't he go himself to take control of the situation when it spiralled out? Why didn't he pardon them all? Why didn't he just go all the way from the start and put heads on pikes?
