President Donald Trump talks to reporters at the White House in Washington, Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2021, before boarding Marine One for a trip to Alamo, Texas, his first public appearance in nearly a week after his supporters violently attacked the U.S. Capitol in an effort to overturn election results. President Trump on Tuesday showed no contrition or regret for instigating the mob that stormed the Capitol and threatened the lives of members of Congress and his vice president, saying that his remarks to a rally beforehand were "totally appropriate" and that the effort by Congress to impeach and convict him was "causing tremendous anger."
