Apparently the Benjamin Franklin portrait replaced one of Andrew Jackson. Probably no President in our history came closer to committing actual genocide, so of course Trump had a painting of him in the Oval Office. In what is now starting to feel like a theme today...good riddance.
It is a competitive field but this was up there in truly gross and insensitive things that Trump did

Jackson was a shame of a president, just like Trump. I'm glad to see them both out of the Oval office.
It wasn’t on same scale as 9/11 obviously but it was one of those days that I don’t think I will be able to get out of my mind. I’d always had the luxury of assuming that the peaceful transfer of power after an election was a given.

Can't really imagine how it must have felt for an American as it felt bad enough for me as a Brit. I think what made Jan 6th so mental was that it was an attack from within that potentially could have led to something truly horrific (of course the act itself was bad enough). I don't think we are out of the woods yet but hopefully a big step in the right direction has been made today.

Thought he’d let Canada at least plead our case before scrapping the keystone pipeline.
That’s a lot of money and work just flushed down the drain with a swipe of a pen before he even talks to our Prime minister.

Yeah for me it was the one-two punch of both a physical attack on the Capitol itself that absent some luck and bravery could have been an awful lot worse and then, even post attack, many votes to invalidate the election results.
As you say hopefully we can put that behind us but I’m not as blasé about elections as I once was.
