""Donald spared no thought at all for officers who were injured and the five who lost their lives as a direct result of his insurrection," Mary Trump wrote in a recent post. "The amount of trauma those officers, as well as members of Congress, and others in the Capitol suffered on that day was exacerbated in the aftermath of the insurrection when the Capitol police officers were betrayed by their government.""
"Five people died during the attempted coup, and roughly 140 police officers were injured. The injuries included a broken spine, a lost eye, lost fingers, brain damage, and multiple cases of PTSD. While ransacking the Capitol, the rioters chanted "Hang Mike Pence," shattered windows while trying to access congressional chambers, smeared feces in a hallway, and stole computer equipment, potentially constituting a national security breach."
Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist and the niece of President Donald Trump, criticized the president for ignoring officers injured or killed during the January 6, 2021 U.S. Capitol riots, which he encouraged by telling followers to "fight like Hell" to overturn the "stolen" election. After a "Stop the Steal" rally, Trump encouraged supporters to march to the Capitol, where rioters incited an attempted insurrection. Five people died and roughly 140 police officers were injured, suffering broken spines, lost eyes and fingers, brain damage, and PTSD. Rioters chanted "Hang Mike Pence," shattered windows, smeared feces, and stole computer equipment. Trump later pardoned rioters.
