But Trump's already looking for his next conquest, the next Latin American leader he can topple, or a Danish territory he can seize to make himself feel big and strong.

And none of this is new for Donald Trump.

I mean, we have seen just how destructive his insatiable cravings for power and attention can be.

It's basically been the theme throughout his time in public life, and it has made for some very dark moments in this country.

Today, of course, marks the fifth anniversary of the January 6th siege on the U.S.

Capitol, the worst attack on our nation's Capitol in more than 200 years.

And it's worth remembering what prompted that attack.

Trump's fragile ego, his uncontrollable urge to hold on to power and stay in the limelight.

That's the reason he whipped up his supporters into a frenzy that day with no concern for what the consequences of that decision would be.

As special counsel Jack Smith told Congress last month, the January 6th attack does not happen without Donald Trump.

And Trump's addiction to power is why January 6th happened.

and why he has never been able to let it go.

It is why he pardoned or commuted the sentences of every single rioter from that day.

It's why today the administration unveiled an official White House webpage selling a completely fabricated revisionist history about that day, one that refers to the rioters as patriots who marched to the Capitol and blames Capitol Police for escalating tensions, which is insane and offensive.

It even accuses Trump's own vice president, who the mob called to be hanged, of an act of cowardice and sabotage.

And of course, it falsely and ludicrously blames then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for security lapses at the Capitol, which in addition to being completely inaccurate, sort of undermines the whole idea that the rioters were themselves patriots.

So think about that as well.

Today, House Democrats held their own January 6th hearing to set the record straight about what really happened that day.

It featured testimony from police officers who defended the Capitol, a reformed January 6th rioter who takes accountability for her actions that day, and she gave an incredibly powerful testimony.

And, of course, Nancy Pelosi herself, who responded to the allegations that the Trump administration lobbed at her.
