‘Maybe I’ve Gotten Worse’: Trump Makes Clear That Unity Is Over

In the wake of the deadly riots at the Capitol on January 6th, President Donald Trump has made it abundantly clear that any semblance of unity in the country is over. In a video released on social media, Trump condemned the violence at the Capitol but also reiterated his false claims of election fraud and told his supporters, “We love you, you’re very special.”

Many have criticized Trump for his role in inciting the violence at the Capitol, with some even calling for his impeachment or removal from office. In the days following the riots, several members of his administration have resigned in protest, including Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.

Trump’s refusal to take responsibility for his role in the violence and his continued promotion of baseless conspiracy theories have only served to further divide the country. In a time when unity is desperately needed, Trump’s actions have only served to deepen the divide.

In his video address, Trump also acknowledged that his presidency may have taken a toll on his image. He stated, “Maybe I’ve gotten worse,” suggesting that he may have contributed to the division in the country. However, his words rang hollow to many, as he continued to push his false claims of election fraud and refused to concede the election to President-elect Joe Biden.

As Biden prepares to take office on January 20th, the country is facing a deep and troubling divide. Trump’s actions have only served to exacerbate this divide, leaving many to wonder if unity is even possible in the current political climate.

In the coming days and weeks, it will be up to leaders on both sides of the aisle to come together and work towards healing the wounds that have been opened by Trump’s presidency. Only time will tell if unity can be restored, but one thing is clear: Trump’s actions have made it abundantly clear that unity is over.
