For four years, Donald Trump has attacked political opponents and the media. It has broken countless rules and traditions. And he met thousands and thousands of enthusiastic supporters during major demonstrations in the United States.
The Republican Party has largely disagreed with the controversial president.
But after Wednesday’s siege of Congress and Trump’s handling, many have turned around.
Rooms inside the congress were demolished after the January 6 attack.
“End the nightmare”
Several of his own ministers have joined the protest. Several elected Republicans have had enough.
Longtime Trump supporter Chris Christie is one of those who now believes the party should break away from Trump:
“His behavior over the past eight weeks has offended the country and has been incredibly damaging to the party,” the former New Jersey governor told the New York Times.
South Dakota Senator John Thune says it is also time to “chart a new course” for the party “soon.”
Adam Kinzinger of Illinois was the first Republican congressman to openly say he was in favor of removing Trump as president and “ending this nightmare.”

– He has disqualified himself
Trump himself has hinted that he could run for re-election in 2024.
In his speech Thursday, Trump said this was not the end.
“I know you are disappointed, but I also want you to know that our incredible journey has just begun,” Trump said.
In a comment in The Washington Post, Gary Abernathy, who previously worked for the Republican Party in Ohio and Virginia, writes that Trump has “disqualified himself from being president again.”
According to Abernathy, he is happy that Trump won the election in 2016, but that the president “threw away his legacy” when he refused to accept the election and encouraged his supporters to march against Congress.
At the same time, a poll by Ipsos and YouGov shows that up to 45 percent of Republicans support the assault on Congress.
The poll reveals a deep division in the Republican Party.
Although several are now speaking out to separate Trump from the party, he still has many supporters.
I think it goes against the “civil war” in the party.
American expert and advisor on Civita, Eirik Løkke, He believes it is heading for an “open civil war” in the Republican Party, between those who now want to distance themselves from Trump and those who still support him.
If the Republican party distances itself from Donald Trump, many millions of voters will also be alienated, according to US Civita expert Eirik Løkke.

– The problem for the party is that many of the voters cultivate Trump as the leader of a sect. Triumph it has led millions of voters to an after-the-fact reality. It won’t be easy for Republican representatives to distance themselves from Trump without alienating millions of voters, Løkke says.
Hallvard Notaker told NRK on Thursday that people are still divided in their views on Trump.
At the same time, the chief investigator for the Department of Defense Studies believes that it is less realistic now that Trump will be a presidential candidate in 2024.
– You can’t count on the Republican Party to back you up.
Notaker believes Trump will also have a hard time regaining votes from highly educated Republicans in the suburbs who are concerned about law and order and low taxes.
– Now he wants to be a more peripheral figure. Then we’ll see if it manages to sustain a kind of movement, or if it just dissolves because other leadership figures try to fill the void, Notaker said.

Think that decisions about criticism are more realistic.
Eirik Løkke believes the world is unlikely to see a humble new Trump in the future, even though he has finally admitted that Joe Biden will be the new president of the United States.
– I don’t think Trump will quietly walk through the doors. He will want a role in politics. Therefore, you will consider the idea of racing in 2024. That is the only thing that can keep it relevant. Maybe declare your candidacy on January 20? Løkke tells NRK.
Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi demanded Thursday that the vice president remove Trump immediately.
Using the so-called 25th Amendment will mean Vice President Mike Pence will take over the remainder of the term on the grounds that Trump is unfit for president. Nothing like this has ever happened before.
According to lawyer Sofie Høgstøl, associate professor at the University of Oslo, it is possible to appoint a Chief Justice even after his resignation.

Other votes require the president to appear before the Supreme Court. In that case, it will be the first time that a president of the United States has been tried twice.
– The most realistic thing is that Congress comes with strong criticism, which is historically maintained. Democrats have a majority in both houses, so that decision will likely be easy to implement in practice.
He saw Sofie Høgestøl, Associate Professor at the University of Oslo, to NRK on Thursday.
At the same time, the lawyer pointed out that it is possible to bring someone before a higher court then they are gone.
– If he is convicted in the Supreme Court, he will not be able to stand for re-election in 2024.
