Donald Trump said “so what” when Mike Pence was rushed to safety during the Capitol riots, a new court filing reveals.
Trump, then the US president, was told that his vice president had been forced to flee the Capitol on January 6 2021 as rioters burst in, according to court documents filed by special counsel Jack Smith.
It reads: “Upon receiving a phone call alerting him that Pence had been taken to a secure location, [redacted] rushed to the dining room to inform the defendant in hopes that the defendant would take action to ensure Pence’s safety.
“Instead, after [redacted] delivered the news, the defendant looked at him and said only, “So what?”
lol, he was so mad at pence! So mad about losing,.

For a guy who claims to hire “the best people,” Trump sure doesn’t seem to care much about their wellbeing. [The timeline makes that abundantly clear.](https://caseagainsttrump.carrd.co/#j6)

The more that comes out about this, the more it becomes clear that Mike Pence was the only adult in the room. Which is… totally horrifying.

Trump has time and time again demonstrated he only cares about himself.
I don’t know why anyone thinks differently at this point.

Are there fans of Pence that aren’t fans of Trump or abortion not being allowed? Idk if saying Pence was in trouble will sway voters.

Let’s be honest, Donald Trump would’ve been perfectly fine with him being hanged that day.

I did not watch the VP debate, though I know there was some chatter on this topic. But how, how, how can we have two presidential debates with this guy and not a single question about why he needed a second VP (I mean, I know why…)

I’m sure he’s said so what to so many things in life. He cares about nobody but himself.

Hating Mike Pence is one of the few things that really brings Americans together.
Who says we both sides can’t agree on anything?!

And he (Alfred Packer) has got a song! Does Mike Pence have a song about his near hanging?

pretty sure that this detail was already available and in the news even two years ago.
JD nervously checking his life insurance policy…
The headline you changed this from:
Trump accuses Democrats of election interference over release of court documents
October Surprise… SURPRISE!!!
That sounds like old man Trump!!
trump loves trump, and only trump.
Mike Pence is the biggest pussy cat in the world.
Still doesn’t have the balls to truly denounce trump and endorse Kamala Harris.
Trump didn’t give a shit if pence was dead. He’s just canon fodder.
If someone threatened my life like that all hell would break loose president or not.
I genuinely don’t know who is in a bigger free-fall, Trump or diddy.
