With the nation Divided, who is making the decisions?

The past 4 years have been spent wondering about the roots and main motivations of "Trumpism" and his "followers".

But we have now been left with a more specific and important question. "Who is in charge right now when the White House needs to be making a decision?"

On paper, the answer is simple and straight forward. Until Noon (12:00 pm) on January 20th 2021, Trump is classified and remains president.

However, come 12:01 pm January 20th, Joe Biden will have been sworn in and will become officially President of the United States.

However, Trump and his 'Cult-Like' followers do not appear to be allowing the transition to occur quietly or easily.

Trump and his "supporters" have been mainlining television news and raging all over social media which in result has left Trump with a Life-Long ban from Twitter.

Trump and his Supporters also Orchestrated a riot in the US Capitol on Wednesday, Which left more then 50 officers hurt and injured as well as 5 death in total reported from the event.

One of the deceased being officer Brian D. Sicknick who passed away Thursday night due to injuries cause on duty during the riot.

Another of the 5 victims of these 'Trump riots' was a 14 year Air Force Veteran Ashli Babbitt aged 35 years old,

who was shot dead by one of the police officers.

Video footage and close up pictures show the events that took place as Ashli Babbitt's life sadly ended.

3 others who have been found deceased during the time of the Captiol Riot on the 6/01/21 passed away due to medical emergencies.

Kevin Greeson aged 55 from Athens, Alabama was amongst these 3 other individuals who passed. Greeson had a history of high blood pressure and suffered a heart attack amid the excitement, his family said in a statement to CNN.

He was an advocate of Trump and attended the event to show his support.

"He was excited to be there to experience this event," the statement given by his wife Kristie Greeson said, "He was not there to participate in violence or rioting, nor did he condone such actions."

But Greeson appeared to have an account on the right-wing social media site Parler filled with recent obscene and violent posts. These posts appeared to be fuelled by misinformation spread by right-wing radio host Mark Levin, the Proud Boys and others.

Past posts updated online from Kevin Greeson, one including a post from the account he owns that said: "Obama should be put to death!" that was posted soon after election day 4 years ago.

Another November post from the account featured a photo of Greeson posing with a long gun in each hand and two pistols tucked into his belt.

Benjamin Philips, aged 50 from Ringtown, Pennsylvania and Rosanne Boyland, aged 34 from Kennsaw, Georgia also died during the riot due to medical emergencies.

Neither condoned or supported violence or anger during the time, but was simply there for support towards trump and their beliefs.

Washington Police have not yet released any further details about the fatalities of the 3 "medical emergencies" and how it resulted in their death.

Roseanne was 'trampled in the Rotunda', her family told DailyMail.com on Thursday after police she had been potentially 'crushed' in the mob.

Capitol Police were seen performing CPR on her at 5pm after she collapsed. She was pronounced dead in the hospital a little before 6pm. It's unclear if the two men were among the violent mob who stormed the building, like she was.

Roseanne's family in Georgia told DailyMail.com on Thursday that it was the first Trump event she ever attended. She'd been hesitant to go and her relatives say they tried to dissuade her.
