Donald Trump

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Friday to hear Donald Trump's appeal of a ruling by Colorado's highest court that would keep him off the presidential primary ballot in the western state.

Just to recall, the former US President was accused of inciting riots in the US Capitol building in an attempt to overturn the result after he lost the 2020 US election, which is why the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that he cannot run in the next presidential election.

Sometimes history moves like a derailed train, at a terrifying speed and without anyone being able to do anything to stop its fateful course. I guess there were many who felt this way on the eve of the First and Second World Wars.
