Former President Barack Obama has stated that Trump is responsible for the coup of the Capitol. Trump's relentless lies on the 2020 election incited violence and inspired the insurgency. "History will rightly remember today's violence at the Capitol, incited by a sitting president who has continued to baselessly lie about the outcome of a lawful election, as a moment of great dishonor and shame for our nation," Obama said. Obama called on Republicans to cease their support for Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 election result. He added that they must "choose America" according to Business Insider.
President Donald Trump has routinely lambasted the media as a whole for peddling 'fake news.' However, Business Insider reports Trump has now begun to single out glossy US magazines specifically. That's because while he's been in office, not one has offered his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, a single cover shoot. Friday, Trump retweeted a Breitbart post that said 'elitist snobs in the fashion press' were snubbing the 'most elegant First Lady in American history.' Trump fans have long noticed and lamented the absence of the First Lady from US newsstands. They've often accused the US press of revealing their liberal bias by granting former Michelle Obama 12 cover shoots during her time as First Lady.
Former President Barack Obama threw some geographic shade at the Trump administration in an interview with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday. Business Insider reports Obama praised President-elect Joe Biden's foreign policy picks for the incoming administration. Obama said that he was looking forward to seeing an administration where people 'know where countries are.' In June 2017, President Donald Trump reportedly mispronounced Nepal and Bhutan as "Nipple" and "Button." When looking at a map, the leader of the free world had to be told where the countries were located.

Although a lifelong Republican like her husband, Cindy McCain endorsed President-elect Biden. Business Insider reports McCain says she hopes Trump concedes gracefully, as did her late husband conceded to then-president-elect Barack Obama in 2008. The late senator was widely praised for his moving concession speech delivered on Nov. 5, 2008, just a day after Obama's projected election win. I really truly hope ... that this president stays on the right side of history. But also with all that said, does what's right for the country. Cindy McCain Widow of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain Trump has refused to concede and has floated baseless theories to justify nullifying the results. He also claimed he had already won the election, despite trailing Biden and not accounting for the unprocessed ballots throughout the country.
