per NYT:

    Shortly before Mr. Garland made the announcement, a person close to Mr. Trump reached out to a Justice Department official to pass along a message from the former president to the attorney general. Mr. Trump wanted Mr. Garland to know that he had been checking in with people around the country and found them to be enraged by the search.

    The message Mr. Trump wanted conveyed, according to a person familiar with the exchange, was: “The country is on fire. What can I do to reduce the heat?”

Hahhahaha, sure, sure. Trump is notorious for wanting to de-escalate social tension. Just like there is no proof that Trump intentionally uses violence for political gain. Sure, sure.
