It's the 5th Anniversary of Trump's (First) Insurrection. He Didn't Make the Same Mistake This Time.
Description
January 6, 2026 is the 5th anniversary of the Capitol Hill riots, otherwise known as Trump’s insurrection day. Bill remembers the political news highlights, US politics civics background and details of this tragic event in American history, as well as the legal and political fallout that ensued.
Bill also reflects on what Canada and the world learned from the events that transpired, including Trump’s team. He got away with trying to overthrow a democracy once, and didn’t make the same ‘mistakes’ this time around. Plus, isn’t it ironic that he essentially “arrested” Maduro for the same thing he tried to do on January 6th, 2021?
