If Trump Cares About the Movement He Helped Build, He Should Now Go Away
NewsWeek ^ | 1/8/2021 | Josh Hammer

The ignominious events in the nation's capital on Wednesday, January 6 will not soon be forgotten. Images of an enraged mob overpowering police and breaching the walls of the U.S. Capitol, the West's preeminent citadel of republican self-governance, will hinder Americans' already-cratering faith in their government's institutional integrity and tarnish their belief in American exceptionalism. These are the sort of sordid deeds, and the sort of searing images, that one normally associates with malefactors in a developing nation or a banana republic—not what Abraham Lincoln once called the "last best hope of earth."

Hypocrisy, of course, abounds. It is more than a little rich for partisan Democrats and their sycophantic media mouthpieces to only now condemn anarchic mayhem and the wanton destruction of private and public property, following their systemic refusal to do so amidst last summer's harrowing, months-long Antifa/Black Lives Matter riotous rampage across the nation's urban corridors. As for the "health professional" charlatans who once argued against restricting the "mostly peaceful" protests in the name of the greater "public health crisis" of "systemic racism," they are now silent during an actual crisis of national political health, wherein recent polling suggests nearly 40 percent of Americans doubt the legitimacy of the recent presidential election.

Yes. He should go to a country without extradition and enjoy the rest of his life.

Impossible to take a publication seriously that called the January 6 protest a “coup attempt”.

If Newsweek cared about journalism they would close their doors and use the last issue to explain their shame...and the shame of their profession.

Always remember, anything from a news source that was sold for one dollar is not worth its weight in salt.

Dream on. Trump is not going away, and neither are the people who voted for him.

Newsweek. Are they the magazine who sold for $1, or the one who sold for $0?

Its always good to take political advice from such people

I’m wishing 75 million Americans would destroy the media by whatever means it takes.

Like rigged elections and uniparty rule.
