One of the most unpredictable and regrettable moments of Trump’s presidency was the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The attack on the Capitol by his supporters, incited by his false claims of election fraud, not only disrupted the certification of the 2020 presidential election results but also posed a serious threat to the democratic process in the U.S. The event underscored deep political divisions in the country and raised concerns about the future of democratic institutions. In the aftermath, there were widespread calls for accountability, leading to Trump’s second impeachment and ongoing discussions about the implications for American democracy.
