He reiterated that his movement, Making America Great Again (MAGA), has always been about defending the rule of law.
His words:
"Whether you are on the right, or on the left, a Democrat, or a Republican, there is never a justification for violence-- no excuses, no exceptions. America is a nation of laws."
Trump vowed to bring to justice those who engaged in the violence at the US Capitol which eventually led to his second impeachment as he was accused of inciting them.
He called on those who believe in his political agenda to start thinking of ways to promote peace in the US.
The US president restated that he does not believe in mob violence and none of his true supporters will disrespect law enforcement, threaten or harass their fellow Americans.
He condemned his suspension on Twitter and other platforms, describing it as an assault on free speech.
He said:
"The efforts to censor, cancel, and blacklist our fellow citizens are wrong. And they are dangerous. What is needed now is for us to listen to one another, not to silence one another."
