and this is the new Harry?https://t.co/wQ0SwVOb9X
I started watching the interview but soon switched off. Meghan was allowed to make all sorts of claims without being questioned any further. She is clearly lying through her teeth. Harry won't be welcomed back to the UK when they break up - for sure, they will. pic.twitter.com/uCn5Q58gMg

I think the video showing the assault to the United States Congress was very hard for everyone and, especially for America people, because nobody could imagine that this would happen in a democracy like the United States of America. It was shameful. The images of Trump´s supporters storming the US Congress are dramatic, some rioters went in body armour and others carrying bats and tear gas. The crowd chanted that they were going to hang Vice-President and as a result of this medieval battle five people died, including a Capitol police officer.
Trump impeachment had place to accuse him of having incited insurrection so everyone knows that he was the inciter in chief. Senators said that the former president had deliberately encouraged the violence and Mr. Trump said that they had stolen his election of US President. Democrat Senators said that Mr Trump is guilty and he must convict and Republican Senators said that he is not responsible so he must acquit. This is what always happens with lawmakers.
In my opinion, there are evidences that Mr Trump didn´t accept the electoral result and he was the inciter in chief, so he is guilty. What is more, he didn´t said to rioters that they should stop. Mr. Trump isn´t democrat.
See you.
I agree that it was a shameful episode. Is Trump consigned to the dustbin of history? I wouldn't bet on it. While it is a relief in a way that we aren't bombarded daily with the latest in the Trump saga, the first year of your namesake can't be called a resounding success. What has actually changed? Is the world a safer place?

Trump was then impeached and accused of having incited insurrection so everyone knows that he was the inciter in chief. Senators said that the former president had deliberately encouraged the violence and Mr. Trump said that they had robbed him of his election to the Pesidency. Democrat Senators said that Mr Trump is guilty and he must be convicted and Republican Senators said that he is not responsible so he must be acquitted. This is what always happens with lawmakers.
