The other day I read an article in the New York Times about the language Trump used to incite the riot at the Capital. To be clear, the Times is a fairly reputable newspaper but it does tend to have a liberal slant as such, it has never been a fan of the Trump presidency. In the article, I could not find any language that would cause the crowd to storm the Capital. The most inciteful comment was about having to fight for what’s right, a pretty common statement that doesn’t necessarily apply to physical violence. I was left scratching my head about just what Trump said that was causing such an uproar, I felt I had to be missing something.

Today I read the entire transcript of Trump’s speech that day. It was a meandering mess of truths, half-truths, and falsehoods. The speech was in line with his particularly irrational behavior leading up to and after the election but I could find nothing in the speech that would cause a semi-reasonable person to attempt to breech the Capital. In fact Trump specifically said, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” So what is the media, and the left so up in arms about? The Capital break-in was terrible as well as the plan for crowd control but to blame Trump? It is just more of the continuance of the witch hunt that plagued him throughout his term.

Trump certainly was not a unifying force for this country but the media and the left appear to be doing everything in their power to further divide the country in an attempt to discredit Trump at every turn; in fact, they are the ones who have done the most damage in dividing our country! Without the constant persecution by the left and the media there wouldn’t be the level of anger that exists in our country today.Trump was not a “presidential” president, he was (and is) arrogant, insulting, an egomaniac of the highest degree however, as much as he may be an offensive personality I don’t believe that constitutes an impeachable offense.

Trump has seven days left in office, despite everything, he has had some major positive accomplishments while in office; if we cannot agree on that, fine however, let’s get him out of the news cycle and focus on the incoming administration and attempt to gain some unity. The fracture in this country has been growing steadily for years, Trump was just the powder keg to bring it to the fore. It is imperative that we find a way to have reasonable, civil discourse and bring healing to this once great nation of ours. Let us focus on the present and the future and use the past as an educational tool to be better. May God bless us all and may God bless America!
