Donald Trump said last week to wait until January 6 and now we see what he was referring to. Trump supporters have stormed the White House and made their way inside the Capital building . Government officials have gone into hiding from those who believe the election was stolen. For weeks Trump had been inciting trouble even tweeting that today was going to be “a wild one.’ The president’s niece Mary warned on CNN that things would get worse as the inauguration neared and she was correct. It’s hard to imagine that so many Americans have been hoodwinked and bamboozled into thinking the Biden win was not legitimate. This situation has been 4 years in the making and those who turned a blind eye to Trump’s rhetoric can hide no more.

On Facebook and Twitter Trump denounced his own Vice President saying Mike Pence is not exhibiting courage. He basically told his supporters to protest via Twitter and they are doing just that. As of this writing there have been no national Guard deployed because it’s not desired that the military get involved. The worst part is that Trump is not telling his crazed followers to go home. CNN reports that security and Capital police have guns drawn but no reports have come forth regarding anyone being hurt. Congress members who decided to kiss the tear end of a very unhinged Donald Trump need to own up to their responsibility for this chaotic situation. Senators as well as White House reporters were locked down together and it must have been quite frightening.

Responses to Trump vary with some saying they are supporting him and others condemning Trump for causing this level of discord. News reporters are saying they had no idea such a thing could happen but this has been brewing for a while. CNN said d some protesters have used tear gas against the unruly citizens. Ted Cruz and other Senators are now tweeting for the protesters to go home but this comes a little too late. It is 3:30 PM as this story is being written and everything you are reading is subject to change. In this moment, however, Americans are at the White House, in close proximity to each other and not wearing masks. The entire situation should not be taking place in a so called civilized nation.

One woman was taken out on a stretcher who was said to have been shot and blood was coming out of her mouth. This is so unAmetican and hopefully Trump supporters will open their eyes to the truth. Both Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelisi say they have called on Trump to stop the madness but so far he had done nothing. Thankfully the FBI is involved and will prosecute those who are behind thiese troubling events.

All of this could have been prevented if only Donald Trump had conceded peacefully as other presidents before him. There is actually hand to hand combat inside the crypt of the Whitehouse. Donald Trump must be pleased with himself and ferl as if he is getting his revenge after losing the election. What had not happened is that the president has not taken the stage and condemned the violence that he is responsible for. This is not making America great. Instead the world is watching this nation fall apart. The president and all of those who have been pushing overturning the election should be ashamed of themselves.

Donald Trump had been asked by Leadee Kevin McCarthy to go on television and speak to the nation even as windows in the Capitol has been broken. The highest ranking Republican gave no indication that Trump would do so. People kept saying this is not who we are as Americans but on today it is very much representative of what the nation has become under the Trump presidency. Donald Trump and hiis son Donald Jr. earlier called for Americans to “ Stop the steal” and thousands complied by storming the White House. Refusing to accept the election results is at the root of this mayhem.

The American public are waiting for leadership to come forth but unless Donald Trump comes forth and gives the order his base will continue to believe they are doing his bidding. The National Guard has been called in to sadist the Capitol police but no one knows what will be done to get Congress back in session. The actions of this day are the reason that I’m November 2016 so many Americans began saying “ Not my president.” Thru knew how things would end up and sadly they are correct. Earlier this morning Rudy Gulianni said “ Let’s have trial by combat” and it looks like his wish had come true. What a sad day for this nation. Where oh where is someone, anyone to address this country! Alas there seems to be no one.
