The turbulent events in American politics that took place in early January 2021 are unforgettable. Hundreds of flag-waving hooligans stormed the US Capitol to prevent the inauguration of new President Joe Biden.

In view of the “stolen election” it is necessary to fight by hook or by crook. He later struck up soothing tones, but to this day he refuses to take responsibility for what happened. If recent testimonies are correct, he even planned to lead the rioters – which makes one shudder all the more given that he is expected to announce his re-election for president this week.
