Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder treason and plot
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot

Fawkes was part of a group of Catholic plotters who wanted to blow up Parliament in hopes of restoring Catholic rule.

for this kind of treason
that they shouldn't all be kicked in the.....

Some anonymous spokesperson said it wasn't surprising, that the former guy had announced the presser on a lark and didn't inform anyone around him so they could make arrangements and prepare for the event. Then he called it off, fabricating some nonsense about how mean the mean meanies of the media were going to be to him.

I suspect the former guy got real accustomed to people jumping to his every whim while he was squatting in the Oval Office. When the President says something, no matter how impractical or hare-brained, it's up to the staff to make it happen. I'd guess the former guy got real used to that.

Now, though, he's just another private citizen, and when he blarps out some nonsense nobody feels constrained to make his whims concrete reality. So instead of following through on a potentially embarrassing "press conference" without any press in attendance, he just flounces off with some ridiculous excuse. But last January 6, he had a similar whim and all the toadies and sycophants in the White House moved heaven and earth to make his rally happen. Nobody had the courage to tell the former guy that it was a stupid idea and he'd be better off leaving it lie. So he forged ahead and left all his most ardent supporters twisting in the wind.
