His completely unsubstantiated lies about the election being stolen was stoking up violence. Personally, if I was a CEO of one of those companies I'd have done that a while back.

Also, its worth saying Trump lost this election massively both in terms of popular vote and this time also electoral college. He is a massive looser. I also think he never actually grapsed just how much influence his words have.

I cannot provide any substantial evidence for that claim because the cause of violence is subjective and anecdotal, similarly, your claim that the President saying that the election had been stolen caused violence cannot be proven in any meaningful way. The president told them to protest, he never told them to be violent. Telling them to protest was unwise, but he was within his rights, and his supporters were within their rights in protesting. I am not challenging the fact that he lost the election so that adds nothing of worth to the debate.
