Americans react to Joe Biden's tweet
Kilroy Jones, @kilroyjones1, said on Twitter:
"Sir, even though you are not the president yet; due to the dereliction and treason of our current president, you are by default the current President of the United States. Lead us and we will follow, Sir. Signed the American people."
Sandy Razo, @sandyrazo1964, said:
"It should not take more than a day to present enough evidence at the Impeachment Trial to convict Trump! I’ve been patiently awaiting the end of his term, please be patient during the beginning of yours. Justice MUST prevail regardless of timeline!"
Eboigbe Basil, MSC, @BEboigbe, said:
"I dont expect you saying all these. You ought to give PEACE a chance. Trump just have less than 10days in office and yet you guys want to disgrace him. Think about it."
Forbestonow, @forbestonow, said:
"And in one week's time America will get a President who can do his job because he is not spending all his time on Twitter, or stewing about not being able to spend all his time on Twitter.
"Good luck @JoeBiden"
Jay, @jaythebakerbear, said:
"This impeachment is urgent business too. This doesn’t end just because you will be POTUS. Accountability must take place."
Similarly, President Trump has spoken after his second impeachment by the United States' House of Reps.
The US president, however, ignored his impeachment in the speech as he focused only on the violence at the US Capitol.
Trump said he condemned the violence, adding that such an incident does not have a place in the US and in his political movement.
