In scarcely believable scenes, a mob goaded by Donald Trump invades America’s Capitol building, trashing Congress offices, shooting into the debating chamber and forcing senators and staff to flee. Four people die. What does this unprecedented assault on democracy mean for Joe Biden’s presidency and for America’s future? UCL Politics Professor and host of the Power Corrupts podcast Brian Klaas explains.
- “Coups try to remove presidents from power. This one tried to keep one in power”
- “The Republican Party has created a monster they can’t control”
- “Trump leaves on January 20th, but the Trumpian voter base does not.”
- “Today’s Republican Party are arsonists dressing up as firefighters.”
- “Trump isn’t deemed fit to Tweet – but he’s in control of the world’s biggest nuclear arsenal for the next thirteen days.”
