Question

In his address, Biden called upon Trump to make a formal national address to condemn the mob attacking the capital. Was Biden justified to make this request, and should Trump have listened? Do you think Trump should make a formal address condemning those who breached security at the Capitol?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, yes, and yes.

Explanation:

Putting political opinions aside for a moment, what happened at the capitol was absolutely devistating and disturbing. Biden, as president elect, had every right to make this request as he will be taking Trump's spot in six days.  It is his job to ensure that America runs smoothly and it is important that even before he is inagurated, he is making strides to ensure that domestic terrorists are adressed and handled. As for Trump listening to Biden's request, we all know that Trump does his own thing and sports his "I don't listen to anyone but myself" ego. However, as the people who terrorized the US capitol were there on Trump's behalf, were his supporters, sporting his merchandise, and defaced a sacred US building on Trump's behalf, the least he could have done was release a statement adressing his supporters without egging on their antics. It is Trump's duty to keep America at peace with itself and uphold the constitution. Trump should also make a formal address condemning the actions at the capitol and those who committed the acts. As I said previous, it is Trump's duty to keep America at peace with itself and uphold the constitution. By not making an official statement and condemning the acts, he is saying that it is okay for his supporters to do such things. Instead, he called them "special people" and practically applauded them for their actions.
