Donald Trump Gets More Bad News
The latest federal charges against Donald Trump mark a turning point:
prosecutors are no longer just arguing that January 6 was a disgrace, but that it was a crime built on intent.
Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding and to violate constitutional rights cuts to the core of what the peaceful transfer of power is supposed to protect.
Each indictment adds pressure, not only on Trump, but on former aides,
allies, and officials now forced to choose between loyalty and legal survival.
At the same time, the resurfaced images of Trump at the White House podium,
speaking of “anguish” and “no survivors” after a deadly midair collision, now land differently.
To critics, they underscore a president capable of solemnity in tragedy who allegedly refused it when the tragedy was aimed at Congress itself.
The question hanging over the country is no longer what happened that day, but what happens if accountability fails.
