‘Maybe I’ve Gotten Worse’: Trump Makes Clear That Unity Is Over
In the aftermath of the Capitol riot on January 6th, President Donald Trump finally conceded the election and called for unity among Americans. However, in the weeks that followed, it has become increasingly clear that Trump’s calls for unity were nothing more than empty words.
In a recent interview with Newsmax, Trump made it abundantly clear that he has no intention of fostering unity or healing the deep divisions in the country. In fact, he went so far as to suggest that he may have actually gotten worse in terms of his rhetoric and behavior.
When asked about his role in inciting the violent mob that stormed the Capitol, Trump deflected blame and instead doubled down on his baseless claims of election fraud. He even suggested that his actions were justified and that he was the real victim in the situation.
This brazen display of denial and self-pity is a stark contrast to the calls for unity that Trump made just a few weeks ago. It is clear that Trump is more interested in preserving his own ego and power than in working towards a more united and peaceful America.
The events of January 6th laid bare the dangerous consequences of Trump’s divisive rhetoric and his refusal to accept the results of the election. The Capitol riot was a direct result of his lies and conspiracy theories, and it is clear that Trump has no intention of taking responsibility for his role in inciting violence.
As the country prepares for a new administration under President-elect Joe Biden, it is more important than ever that we come together as a nation and work towards healing the deep divisions that have been sown by Trump’s presidency. However, it is clear that Trump has no interest in unity or healing, and that his toxic influence will continue to linger long after he leaves office.
In the end, Trump’s refusal to accept reality and his continued attacks on our democracy only serve to further divide the country and undermine the very principles that make America great. It is up to us, as citizens, to reject his destructive rhetoric and work towards a more united and inclusive future. Only then can we truly begin to heal the wounds that have been inflicted on our nation.
