Trump totally misjudged impact of his Capitol speech

Donald Trump throughout his presidency has used inflammatory language to stir his supporters. Until yesterday he had got away with it because everyone got used to his type of rhetoric. It became the norm. But with less than two weeks to go before he ends his first - and only - term of office, he went one step too far and the result was staggeringly shocking. Hundreds of Trump supporters, most of them without masks, descending on the Capitol like some sort of Medieval invading force, battering their way into the seat of American democracy as if they had the right to do so. They thought they had. Trump had ordered them to go wild. It was probaby one of the most disgraceful and irresponsible political speeches ever made on US soil. Four people died, elected politicians took cover, windows were smashed and American democracy was thrown into the bin. As president Trump has to take full responsibility and should step down immediately. It's too dangerous to wait another 13 days. Mike Pence who had refused to overturn the election result in a dignified presence in Congress can take the reins while Trump is marched off. Trump deserves nothing less. Many think he should be impeached and/or imprisoned. But impeachment would take too long. Most important, he must be banned from ever running for president again. Whatever his wild supporters say or want. Trump is finished. For good.
