Reality Trump: Season Finale
The last days of Donald Trump's presidency are laden with violence, threat, and caution. Until the 21st, nothing seems to be closed.
Last week in Washington, the United States Congress certified the presidential triumph of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, after an irruption to the Capitol by insurgent groups that support Donald Trump, a moment in history that seems to take from any Hollywood action movie.
The ‘movie sequence’ is unprecedented… a president who indirectly calls insurgency, protesters that manage to break (and not fear) security of one of the most protected places on earth, congressmen running, broken glasses, shots, injuries, deaths, underground evacuations, a return to normality.
That moment where Mike Pence must confront democracy in itself with his boss until January 20, ends up confirming that the Democrats have the presidency, in addition to control of the Senate, and the octogenarian -literally and fortunately- Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The people have spoken, and in the bipartisan America of complex polling stations, power will change hands. However, after this episode, the underlying question is whether a third political party is sitting from a ‘Trumpist’ right; everything indicates that this will be the case and with Donald Junior and Ivanka arriving.
All this while Republicans begin to disagree with Florida’s most influential new family… from Mitt Romney stating that “the protest had been prompted by Trump’s words,” to the congressional line confirming Biden. In the end, political chess convenience tends to wins.
Taking Trump’s learnings from reality shows, which move his top ratings to politics, it’s evident that he will continue on the spot, now as the new ‘antagonistic’ character, who defends the misunderstood and relegated of the ‘new United States’, where liberalism and protectionism predominate, leading the country to a moral and economic disgrace, thus losing its global leadership, according to this far-right premise.
The message he leaves after the protests confirm: “Although I totally disagree with the outcome of the elections, there will be an orderly transition on January 20, the fight will continue to ensure that only legal votes are counted. This represents the end of the best first presidential term in history, and it’s just the beginning of the fight to make America great again. “
The questions after this frenzy are many, with two attracting attention: Why was there not a maximum security deployment in Washington as happened in 2019 during the ‘Black Live Matters’ protests, and the most important: how to guarantee the safety of the people and their politicians during Trump’s remaining 13 days in charge because it is clear that the protests are not going to end.
It will be marked in history the day that a President of the United States incited his fans to take over Congress “… And we will go to the Capitol, to give weak Republicans the pride to give us back the country, so let’s take Pennsylvania Avenue … “The President, in the end, did not go with the revolutionaries.
The security and peaceful transfer of the country’s presidency that gradually ceases to be the most important in the world becomes the new tension news to begin 2021, corroborating that this will be a year as hectic as the previous one.
