.NoahCRothman: Trump knew his supporters could become violent, if only because his advisers repeatedly informed him of that fact.
If anyone needed further evidence that Trump did not want to do anything that might take the national temperature down and cool the passions among his supporters, even if those passions increased the potential for violence, former longtime Trump adviser Hope Hicks provided some.
The former president’s supporters have long maintained that neither Trump nor anyone else could have foreseen how the events of Jan. 6 would explode into violence. True enough, but nor did the president take any steps—even rising to the level of a mere gesture on social media — to pre-empt the prospect of violence as long as the violence would be done on his behalf. He most certainly knew that his supporters could become violent if only because his advisers repeatedly informed him of that fact.
