Donald Trump

Ivana Trump, wife of former US president Donald Trump, has died at the age of 73. She "passed away at her home in New York City," announced ex-husband and real estate billionaire Donald Trump.

The Twitter accounts of Donald Trump, PewDiePie, Kamaal R Khan and a few other political leaders and celebrities have been suspended either temporarily or permanently.

Trump departed office as the only president ever impeached twice, and with millions more out of work than when he was sworn in and 400,000 dead from the coronavirus. He told supporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland where he walked across a red carpet and boarded Air Force One to head to Florida. "We will be back in some form.”

A pardon is one form of the clemency power of the president. The US Constitution only grants the president the power to pardon "offences against the United States." The latest list of pardon by Trump was heavily populated by more conventional candidates whose cases had been championed by criminal justice activists.

Law enforcement officers far outnumbered protesters at state capitol grounds, a few Trump supporters who believe the president's false claim that he won the 2020 election turned out for what authorities feared could be violent demonstrations.

Governors have declared states of emergency, closed capitols to the public and called up troops ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20.

Donald Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives for the second time in his tenure on January 13. While he is the only American head of state to face the stringent action twice, here are the former US presidents who faced impeachment.

On January 8, Twitter permanently blocked US President Donald Trump from accessing his personal account, citing “the risk of further incitement of violence” following the deadly insurrection of the US Capitol on January 6. The social media giant has exempted many world leaders from its rules against personal attacks, hate speech and other behaviours. But after Trump’s recent tweet led to violence, his twitter account was banned.

A violent mob supporting outgoing US President Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol and forced lawmakers into hiding, in a stunning attempt to overturn America’s presidential election, undercut the nation’s democracy and keep Democrat Joe Biden from replacing Trump in the White House.

Critics would argue that while living through a pandemic was hard, it was made tougher by the response from these leaders. Others have claimed that it was precisely because of these leaders that the crisis became easier to sail through.
