against our United States Capital in an attempt to overthrow our system of governing. His elements of terror: proud boys, Qanon, and looney bin republicans etc are the contemporary, local, ISIS.
Osama Bin Laden aimed aircraft at the twin towers, the pentagon and the United States Capital. Perhaps trump is just trying to finish the job Bin Laden started. In the legal briefs filed for the impeachment trial the claim is made that trump aimed a loaded cannon at the United States Capital, that has to include the people inside. The only real difference between these attacks are that Osama Bin laden was successful except for the aircraft aimed at the capital building. As usual trumps attack failed, just like his presidency.
Everything he touches turns to shit...is the saying attached to him, and includes him.
