What a magnificent country America has turned out to be in spite of the divisive and perhaps criminal behavior of former President Trump. As an overseas viewer, the thing that sticks out like a neon sign is that in spite of all the rhetoric, The United States of America is a rule-based country and someone is REALLY innocent until proven guilty. There are and will be unfortunate exceptions, because no country is pure as the driven snow. But what I think you all have to feel very proud of is that you are talking about a former president who has been charged with 34 felony counts and it is business as usual. Anderson Cooper masterfully conducts a group analysis and everyone weighs in on the pros and cons----but Trump is not being hauled off to jail without a fair trial. The system of law really does work in America, and next to our country in France, former President Nicolas Sarkozy was convicted of election fraud, and as America's oldest ally we can attest that there were no riots in the streets of Paris demanding he be exonerated. In short, it looks like no matter who is on which side of the political aisle, when the truth is not compromised and someone's guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt, if a judgement comes down on a prominent person, people of all stripes accept the results, some more begrudgingly than others it must be noted. In one way, Trump has united all the people in your country no matter what race, color or creed they are and you can almost say that because of the sad and tragic story that former President Donald J. Trump has caused and will experience, his legacy will resonate for years to show that your country became even more united because of his shortcomings.
