|

Following <a href="https://www.vox.com/2021/1/6/22217307/thousands-trump-supporters-stormed-us-capitol-evacuate">the storming of the US Capitol</a> by a pro-Trump mob on Wednesday, several top White House officials have resigned, with others reportedly considering whether or not to step down.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="Y740ZO">
|
||
The extraordinary events, which left four people dead, led to <a href="https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1347134584996159489">reports</a> that some senior administration officials were discussing the use of the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from power or resigning themselves.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="W4eSEd">
|
||
By Thursday morning, it appeared some of the senior officials who were rumored to be considering resigning, such as National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien, will instead serve out the last two weeks of Trump’s term. O’Brien was <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/1/7/top-white-house-officials-resign-following-capitol-hill-violence">reportedly persuaded</a> by some of his colleagues to remain in his post.

<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="A3d43P">

|

<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="Rne5Mj">

The president’s incitement of the riot also drew a rebuke from Congress, where the House and Senate reconvened to <a href="https://www.vox.com/22218006/congress-electoral-vote-count-joe-biden-president">affirm President-elect Joe Biden’s victory</a> over Trump in the 2020 election, and Democrats began openly discussing impeachment and the 25th Amendment.

<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="FC0cOl">

“Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th,” the president said in a statement.

<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="z9ElOj">

President Donald Trump acknowledged that a new administration will soon be inaugurated in an apparent attempt to quell bipartisan demands for his removal from office following Wednesday’s violent insurrection at the US Capitol — but stopped short of conceding that he had lost the November election.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="Fd4zlj">
|
||
“Now, Congress has certified the results and a new administration will be inaugurated on January 20,” Trump said in a video address from the White House on Thursday. “My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition of power. This moment calls for healing and reconciliation.”
|

</p>
|
||
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="zJNQts">
|

He did not mention President-elect Joe Biden directly. But his language was just vague enough that Republicans could interpret his speech as a concession, giving them reason to resist growing calls to <a href="https://www.vox.com/22218881/impeachment-25th-amendment-trump">impeach the president or invoke the 25th Amendment</a> to remove him from office just days before Biden is inaugurated on January 20.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="cxzzoS">

But hinting at some kind of political future, he also said that he wanted his supporters to know that “our incredible journey is only just beginning.”

A <a href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/republicans-control-whether-trump-stays-or-goes/">majority of Democrats in the House</a> and a growing number of Republicans, including Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, have sought Trump’s removal from office after he incited his supporters to storm the Capitol on Wednesday, resulting in the deaths of at least four people and significant property damage. However, Vice President Mike Pence, whose support would be needed to invoke the 25th Amendment, <a href="https://twitter.com/grace_panetta/status/1347314570638012416?s=20">reportedly opposes doing so</a>, and some Republicans have said they would prefer to just wait out the last days of the Trump presidency.
|

</p>
|
||
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="h8Yh2i">
|

Apparently recognizing his precarious political position, Trump — who has <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/07/us/politics/trump-self-pardon.html">reportedly been mulling pardoning himself</a> in the final days of his presidency — sought to distance himself from Wednesday’s events and downplay his attempts to undermine the election results.
|

</p>
|
||
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="T9wUF7">
|

He condemned the “violence, lawlessness and mayhem” that occurred at the Capitol and falsely claimed that he had immediately deployed the National Guard to secure the building. (Despite being quick to deploy the National Guard in the face of last year’s Black Lives Matter protests, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/06/politics/pence-national-guard/index.html">CNN reported</a> that he had initially resisted doing so, requiring that Pence intervene.)
|
||
</p>
|

<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="zBfptz">
|
||
“To those who engage in the acts of violence and destruction: You do not represent our country, and to those who broke the law, you will pay,” Trump said.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="nqxcMr">
|
||
Though Trump did not repeat his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud on Thursday, he echoed Republican talking points about election security, which the party has invoked as justification for making it harder for people to vote.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="OPIQsR">
|
||
“My only goal was to ensure the integrity of the vote,” he said. “In so doing, I was fighting to defend American democracy. I continue to strongly believe that we must reform our election laws to verify the identity and eligibility of all voters and to ensure faith and confidence in all future elections.”

While Facebook and other social networks suspended President Donald Trump from their platforms in the wake of his support for a mob that stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday, another tech firm took a different tack on Thursday. Shopify shut down his online merch stores.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="sb3yLU">
|
||
Shopify, the Canada-based tech company that makes popular software tools to help merchants run online stores, shuttered the Trump Organization’s <a href="http://TrumpStore.com">TrumpStore.com</a> on Thursday morning, as well as the e-commerce portion of the president’s election website.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="KjI0Th">
|

“Shopify does not tolerate actions that incite violence,” a Shopify spokesperson said in a statement. “Based on recent events, we have determined that the actions by President Donald J. Trump violate our <a href="https://www.shopify.com/legal/aup">Acceptable Use Policy</a>, which prohibits promotion or support of organizations, platforms or people that threaten or condone violence to further a cause. As a result, we have terminated stores affiliated with President Trump.”
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="fSbIcJ">
|
||
The spokesperson did not immediately respond to requests for information about any other “affiliated” online stores that were taken down as a result.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="nwaMhq">
|
||
Shopify’s decision targeting Trump followed those of several other large internet companies in the wake of the president’s call for supporters to rally against Joe Biden’s election victory, which devolved into an insurrection on Capitol Hill. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube all took steps to restrict Trump’s ability to use their platforms in the last 24 hours, with Mark Zuckerberg writing on Thursday that <a href="https://www.vox.com/22217039/capitol-attack-trump-rally-election-biden-explained">Facebook and Instagram had suspended the president’s accounts until at least Inauguration Day</a>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="xhK1XJ">
|
||
“We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great,” Zuckerberg wrote. “Therefore, we are extending the block we have placed on his Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete.”

It’s unclear whether other e-commerce providers, such as Amazon, Etsy, or eBay, will remove any Trump merchandise or Trump-affiliated sellers from their online marketplaces. On Thursday afternoon, shirts adorned with the phrase “MAGA Civil War,” which was seen on apparel worn by some rioters in DC on Wednesday, were available for sale on eBay. By Thursday evening, one of the shirts still appeared in eBay’s search results, but the listing had been deactivated.
