“The riots that occurred on January 6th will surely never be forgotten. Americans have a right to protest, but the way it was hosted and handled is quite embarrassing, to say the least. Donald Trump, as an ex-President of the U.S and a powerful politician, could have used his platform in a more effective and careful manner to soothe his followers after the results of the 2020 election were revealed. He stated, “We will never give up and we will never concede. We will soon be marching over to the Capitol building….” There is no solid proof that he planned for the breach to happen; however, he should have considered how much of an influence his words would have on his followers.”
