I agree, but also a tragic day. This does nothing to reduce the polarization or convince his misguided followers of anything. Trump might go away but his voters won't. We have decades of this to look forward to. It's a step in the right direction at least...

    I wholeheartedly disagree that it's a tragic day. The tragedies happened when he committed his crimes and got away with them for years. This is just the beginning of resolution.

    The consequences of national polarization may, in the long term, make Trump's actions look small.

    This arrest certainly pushes us closer to the edge. Whether that will lead us back to normalcy or over and down is yet to be seen.

    And it would be better for national unity if one party was allowed to get away with committing crimes without facing consequences?

    But that's not the point. Him getting away with it or not, is one thing. The people standing in front of the Jail since 10 am, waiting for him to show up. Eager and sincerely wanting to show him their support. Firm in their belief that he cares or needs the support.

    Half of the nation really wants someone like him to be president.

    And they stand even stronger by his side, after these last weeks.

    This is the tragic message and important lesson from this.
