Powerless President: Why Donald Trump will be remembered by Americans for ages

Hate him or love him, but outgoing US president Donald Trump will go down the annals of the world history as a leader who was impeached twice during his stint as the head of a super power. He will also be remembered as a president who used Twitter as his major medium of communication.

The president has faced many woes during his twilight days in office.

During the second impeachment, 232 lawmakers voted in support of his impeachment. 10 Republicans were among those who voted to impeach Trump, making the impeachment process as the most bipartisan one in the recent times. Donald Trump made history as the US President to be impeached twice. 

Speaker Nancy Pelosi led the congress as the House debated on the impeachment charges. The president was charged with inciting insurrection that led to Capitol assault. The attack led to the postponement of the certification of Biden’s win by the US congress. Earlier on after the attack, Mr Trump acknowledged bearing blame for the violence as quoted by Fox News during a conversation with Republican Minority leader in the House Kevin McCarthy.

Trump was banned from giant social media platforms; Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, due to his persistent breach of online policies. He constantly used Twitter to hit at his rival, Joe Biden, accusing Democrats of orchestrating election fraud.

His ban on social media triggered him to accuse twitter for the alleged conspiracy with his detractors to silence him. He, however, hinted about developing his own social media. Most of Trump’s supporters have found relief on gab.com, a site that supports free speech.

Why Ruto will heavily rely on Mudavadi, Joho in his reelection bid

 When Kenya president William Ruto was almost overwhelmed with gen z revolt, his landmark decision was to dismiss the entire cabinet. This occurred immediately after his refusal to sign the Finance Bill 2024/2025. Ruto endeavored to reconstitute a new cabinet, dubbed broad-based executive. He incorporated key opposition figures drawn from the ODM Party - a move that appeased the doyen of opposition Raila Amollo Odinga. Cabinet Secretaries drawn from ODM included: Hassan Ali Joho, Wycliffe Ambetsa Oparanya, John Mbadi Ng'onga and James Opiyo Wandayi. ODM is as good as dead, and Raila's age factor limits him from flying the Party's presidential flag again and has opted out by contesting as Africa Union Commission (AUC) chairman. President Ruto will heavily rely on two members of his cabinet in his reelection bid.
