The presidency of Donald Trump has had its share of controversy. According to Gallup, an analytics firm, at 34% Trump has the lowest approval rating of any President of the United States since the firm started tracking in 1938.
After losing his re-election campaign Trump joined the only ten other incumbent Presidents to ever get their party's nomination but fail to be re-elected. Trump lost the popular vote in both elections.
Trump is currently still facing down a potential conviction for inciting the Capitol riot that lead to the death of five people, including a Capitol Police officer, on January 6. Setting another record, Trump is the first President in history to be impeached twice and he managed it in just one term as President.
Newly elected President Joe Biden has commented the trial to convict Trump of "incitement to insurrection…has to happen." Others are also showing support with ten Republican House members voting to side with the Democrats after the Capitol riots, with many citing the rally and speech Trump had at the White House encouraged his supporters to violent action.
The substantial list of controversies and the above history lead presidential historian for NBC, Michael Beschloss, to summarize Trump's presidency as a perfect definition of a single word:
"Disgraced."
A President of the United States, indicted by the House of Representatives for incitement of insurrection. This is the definition of “disgraced."
— Michael Beschloss (@BeschlossDC) January 26, 2021
Any Senate that would acquit him also fits the definition of “disgraced."

And it will be even more disgraceful if the Senate does not indict him.

Beschloss who is the author of ten separate books about Presidents of the United States was not alone in his summation.
Citizens on social media have been vocal about their feelings about former President Trump's actions.
If only the former president actually experienced this as disgrace. If only he had a shred of shame or healthy guilt, but alas, he has the capacity for none of these human responses.

It is a disgrace that, our Congress and, yes, we the American people let it come to this. https://t.co/UnQls6rVT3

Society determines what behavior constitutes a crime. When a leader ENCOURAGES an assault on & overthrow of the elected gov't, he's telling citizens this behavior is NOT illegal or immoral.
Because violent sedition SHOULD be considered a (high) crime, Trump MUST be convicted.

I hope history recalls it that way. There's a part of me that feels that two impeachments by Dem majority Houses, followed by (very likely) two acquittals (due to lack of GOP courage to do the right thing) will leave this all chalked up to nothing more than Dem hatred for Trump.

I was eating lunch the moment the impeachment managers walked the Article over to the Senate and got so choked up at the thought of how very close we were to losing our country.
These managers are HEROES.
I'm still crying thinking about how Trump very nearly killed our country.

Republican Senators who do not vote to convict Donald Trump for incitement of insurrection will be unloyal to we the people/voters, & disgracing America.

Those that aided and abetted Criminal Trump in perpetuating the Big Lie and were involved in the insurrection want the Impeachment trial to go away because ~
If Trump can be impeached and convicted so can they.

People, do not forget that the mob was there with deadly intentions. Don't forget that! It is not a little thing!

Unfortunately DJT has no shame. He does not feel disgraced, he really believes his own rhetoric. If DJT and his congressional enablers ever read the constitution they would have known once votes are certified by states, Joint Congress is just a formality

One thing is for certain, Trump has had a Presidency that will not quickly be forgotten—albeit not for the reasons the former President would desire.
