The Trump edits to this statement are almost entirely self-explanatory. But why take out “and sickened”? To be outraged is to be angry. I’m going to guess that for the defeated former president, to be sickened, or to say that you’re sickened, is to look weak.

I realized only early this morning: omitting “you do not represent me" and “you do not represent our movement,” while leaving in “you do not represent our country,” seems to suggest that “Antifa” was behind the January 6 riot. Which of course doesn’t jibe with “you’re very special” and “we love you.” But 2 + 2 sometimes equals 5, right?
