no matter how wonderful the show is, it will eventually come to an end. This protracted election farce in the United States is no exception.
Over time, the US general election, which lasted for more than two months, finally ushered in the finale.
On the 20th local time, Biden , the candidate president certified by Congress, arrived in Washington to attend the inauguration ceremony. Strong1strong was formally sworn in as the 46th president of the United States.
Unlike previous inauguration ceremonies, there was no parade of millions of people, no celebration dance, and Trump couple did not attend.
In the end, Biden, the president with the most votes in American history, witnessed 1,000 spectators and 25,000 National Guard soldiers. Strong1strong opened his presidency in the inauguration ceremony with the least number of participants.
During the period, Biden delivered an inaugural speech. Strong1strong called for the unity of the United States, and emphasized that it will focus on fighting the epidemic and responding to the economic crisis, and "let the United States start again."
So far, the US general election, which has lasted for more than two months, is officially over. Strong1strong America will also enter the "Biden era" from the "Trump era".
In addition, as Biden previously said that "started action on the first day of office", overturned a number of Trump’s decree on the 20th. Strong1strong includes the return of the United States to the World Health Organization, Re-join " Paris Agreement",And stop building the US-Mexico border wall and so on.
Of course, compared with Biden's "three fires for new officials", Trump, who did not appear at the inauguration ceremony, will look much lonely.
In the early morning of the 20th, Trump took a helicopter and left the White House , went to Andrews Joint Base, and participated in the "Farewell Ceremony" for supporters.
During the period, Trump once again "bragged" about the achievements of the past 4 years, and emphasized that he would "come back in some form" with .
Then, Trump took the " Air Force One " to the Sea Lake Estate in Florida. On the way to , Trump was still watching the progress of Biden's inauguration.
It can be seen that although Trump is gone, is unwilling and unwilling to go. He is already very concerned about the outcome of the defeat, and is far less open-minded and open-minded on the surface.
It is worth noting that with regard to Trump’s departure, Vice President Pence and Secretary of State Pompeo did not speak out and "see off" him as expected, but fell into one after another. "silence".
First,Although Pence has appeared frequently recently, he is busy organizing and arranging personnel to ensure the smooth progress of the inauguration ceremony.
During the period, Pence also issued a farewell tweet, but none of the four pictures included Trump, which means "cutting" is undoubtedly obvious.
Also, because Trump’s farewell ceremony and Biden’s inauguration "crash", Pence chose to attend the inauguration ceremony with his wife and refused to go to Trump’s "last appointment."
In short, regarding Trump’s departure, Pence, the vice president, did not make a clear statement.
As for Pompeo , they also did not express their views on Trump's departure. On the contrary, still spared no effort to "fan the flames" outside and lower the US's international image.
Pompeo does not seem to care about Trump's departure anyway, and it will not affect his continued "misconduct" in US diplomacy.
Now, with Pompeo’s "efforts", American diplomacy has become "a pile of scorched earth."
In addition, although Trump "slapped butt away", the troubles and farce have not ended. Strong1strong's "liquidation" around the Trump administration is now coming quickly.
In this regard, before Trump left the White House, he used presidential power to pardon more than 100 people, including former White House "army officer" Bannon. And at the last moment, a convicted Republican businessman was pardoned.
But the problem is that until Trump's "pardon" plan officially ended, , his family members, and Pompeo, Pence and others did not appear on the amnesty list.
It should be noted that the Trump family is already facing a complicated "tax dispute". Not long ago, , Melania and Ivanka were also summoned. Moreover, Trump himself is currently facing an impeachment crisis, and has a very urgent need for "pardon".
As for senior White House leaders like Pompeo and Pence, they are more likely to be liquidated by Democrats. Especially Pompeo, who had already formed a relationship with Democrats before, , and was investigated for "private use of public property", and it is also very necessary to appear on the pardon list.
But in the end, Pompeo did not wait for news until Trump's pardon list was announced.
What do you think? Let's talk about three superficial views.
First, the "amnesty order" is a double-edged sword. Even Trump has to think twice before using it.
As early as a month ago, Trump discussed with people around him about pardoning himself and his family more than once. But the problem is that applies to the amnesty order. They are all people who have been sentenced. The Trumps and Pompeo have not been punished yet.
In this way, if Trump issues a pardon order, wouldn't admit them "guilty" in disguise?
should pay attention, regardless of Trump, , Ivanka ,It is Pence and Pompeo, who have plans to continue to set foot in politics. This pardon order, can indeed protect themselves, but they also ruined their political future indirectly.
So, from a certain perspective, Trump did not pardon himself, his family and Pompeo, but it was a good thing.
Second, Trump should have a chance to "decently step down", but he was ruined by himself.
After the congressional chaos, the out-of-control situation caused Trump to be hit hard. He was not only impeached by Democrats, but also blocked. As a result, Trump had to end his presidency by "dejectedly leaving".
If Trump did not call on his supporters to "enter King Qin in Beijing" on the 6th, congressional chaos would not happen easily, and the ending would not be so sad.
Third, Trump's "low-key" departure does not mean that he will be depressed and give up the game with Democrats.
It is reported that Trump is currently planning to form a new political party-the "Patriotic Party" together with several aides and friends, lays a solid foundation for the next political actions.
After all, from the "cutting" actions of Republicans such as Pence and McConnell, it is not difficult to see that Trump will be in the Republican Party in the future, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to get support. It just so happens that Trump now has a large number of "special fans" support, and it may not be impossible to form a new party.
Of course,Forming a new party is not a trivial matter. If Trump wants to "start anew," he will have to pay a lot of time, energy and price.
In short, the US election farce has officially ended, but another drama in the US political arena has just begun.
More exciting, still to come!
