Capitol attack was symptom of larger illness First, I will say that in no way do I condone the recent attack on our Capitol. However, to all those who have sent Letters to the Forum placing blame on President Trump, I ask you to consider this question: What do you think the reaction from Joe Bidenâs supporters would have been if President Trump would have been re-elected? The problems our country currently faces are too deep and complex to lay the blame on any one individual. A recent news commentator said that when half the country is opposed to their leader there will be significant problems. This has proven to be true during the Trump presidency and unfortunately may prove to be true during the Biden presidency.
