No, that's the TV show Shark Tank.

Donald Trump's TV show was The Apprentice.

but this doesn't appear to be a case of someone intentionally trying to harm lindell. i think it's simply a matter of an overly aggressive fan of lindell's and mike has embellished the story to make himself the victim and/or matyr.
Since little is know about the "case" at this time then it's too early to make a judgment.

Nope. I'm still waiting on proof that all who had rioted were on the right, or if some were in fact antifa.

Correct, it is too early for anything definitive, but speculation is what we do.

For myself, I think it much more likely it was an overly enthusiastic fan. I see 4 scenarios with varying levels of probability.

1. This was a planned assault. I rate this as highly unlikely, because it is so inept. Who assaults somebody in a hotel lobby, likely covered by cameras, with the pretext of taking a picture, just so that they can give Lindell a purple nurple? If you want to actually assault the guy, wear a mask and throw a brick at him.

2. Actual mugging. Well, even less likely. Looks like there was not attempt to take his stuff.

3. Completely fictional story. Definitely possible. PillowGuy has a pretty tenuous grasp of reality, and loves self promotion. We will see if any camera footage backs up his story.

4. Enthusiastic fan. Lots of people idolize PillowGuy, and it was at an event he hosted. People like to take pictures. Some fan who had a couple too many drinks, I can see it happening.

Well, all of the plea deals and convictions so far were of right wing activists, none were left wing. So although the majority have not yet been in front of a court, the early trend is that it is all right wing.

It's a pity the antifa guy was let of the hook for his actions that day, but that seems to be a thing with the left....whatever you do, don't hold antifa responsible for their crimes.

Oh, you have solid proof that all who were rioting were right wing?

Perhaps you should actually watch the videos, instead of letting the media tell you what to believe about that.

With as many as who were there then you're going off of a small handful. And, the first one charged was someone who has been known to be antifa blm. so there's that.

hopefully the police can locate the other parties involved and get their side of the story but.... my guess is that this isn't a top priority for the police and if the media doesn't put pressure on them there will be no official conclusion.

Well, lets talk about numbers then.

We know that 612 people have been charged, with 27 pleading guilty. Each of the guilty people are indisputably right wing agitators, and scanning through the other 580 or so, that looks to be a universal trend.

There are one or two alleged BLM/Antifa supporters who were there, but there is no solid evidence that this is true. At this point, these are stories without support.

Lets say there were a couple of extreme left wing agitators there to stir up trouble. Does that make the Jan 6th insurrection bipartisan? Does it make it an political instrument of the terrorist left? Remember, that would mean that the right still is responsible for 99.8% or so of the violence.

Sorry, your attempt to deflect by asking people to prove that nobody on the left was involved is a weak, pathetic defense, whose only possible use is misdirection. January 6th is indisputably a right wing attempt to overthrow the rule of law in this country.
