Trump should be charged with being an accessory to murder

-

IF there is anyone who does not believe that whatever happened outside the Capitol building in Washington, DC, last Wednesday is not despicable, that individual should be banished to history’s scrap heap of shame.

I never expected that Donald Trump, as stupid as he is, would have stooped so low as to have incited violence against his own elected officials by spurring his blind supporters into action to demonstrat­e against an election which Republican­s and Democrats alike insist was the cleanest in history.

Trump ought to be arrested, charged, and I’m sure there is enough evidence to secure a conviction. The power-hungry dunce is an insult to mankind and a threat to peace everywhere, and his actions have resulted in the latest incident causing the death of five people, including a policeman doing his job to protect.

My conclusion, too, of Donald Trump after Wednesday’s messy event is that he is nothing but a fascist hog who should never have seen the inside of the White House…not even in a television documentar­y.

And then you ask why, again. How could a people like the Americans have made such a humungous error of electing such a jackass in 2016? That mistake was corrected, happily, in 2020 but still, over 74 million people voted for the fool — the most secured by a losing candidate in the history of US presidenti­al elections — which means that there is still a huge chunk of Americans who did not want to see the back of the foolishnes­s.

With relief though, Joe Biden got the highest number of votes by any president, over 81 million, which translates to a majority of Americans saying that they really wanted to protect the ideals of their country.

The American majority should never again stoop so low as to elect someone like Trump to run the affairs of the world’s most important office. Can you imagine what would have happened had Trump won again last November?

When I saw Trump’s supporters destroy equipment of media giant The Associated Press, the point must be rammed home that there are still people out there who really do not know why they are on this planet.
