Trump isn’t just fired after attempted insurrection — he’s canceled.
The legal and ego-shattering ramifications of inciting a riot and attempting to stage a coup on the Capitol Building continue to pile up for lame duck President Donald Trump. Consider that in less than a week following his criminal actions, all of the following have occurred:
House Democrats have introduced an article of impeachment against the President, alleging “incitement of insurrection.” More than 200 House Democrats have already signaled their support for the measure, which states that Trump “gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of government. He threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power and imperiled a coequal branch of government. He thereby betrayed his trust as president, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.” The measure will now go up for a House vote on Tuesday, Jan. 12. Trump has already been impeached by the House once before just over a year ago after the President tried to force Ukrainian leaders to fabricate lies that would help his re-election efforts for the 2020 Presidential race.
The President’s favorite social media app, and his preferred mode of spreading lies and propaganda to his followers, has banned him for life. Twitter announced the monumental decision on Jan. 8, two days after the Capitol attacks, citing repeated breaking of rules over content and the possible inciting of more violence as some of the major factors contributing to their decision. Facebook and Instagram had similarly banned the President hours earlier until at least after President-elect Biden’s inauguration, if not indefinitely.
