7: My opinion of the subject: I think coronavirus pandemic is the first and the most challenging problem Biden have to solve as a president. This bold economic treatment seems very risky though, I believe it will change the current situation.

1: Title: Rage and turmoil: Trump's final days in office

2: URL:https://www.reuters.com/video/

3: Date of publication: January 16, 2021

4: New words I learned: tout, turmoil, orbit, explicitly, assault, rupture, constitutional

5: Why I chose this video: Because I heard Donald Trump's supporters made an assault at U.S. capital in news.

 6: Main points of the video: U.S. President Donald Trump’s last days in the White House have been marked by rage and turmoil, multiple sources said. No one in Trump’s orbit could convince him to explicitly acknowledge election defeat and use his remaining weeks in office to hold events to tout accomplishments that he and his aides are proud of.

7: My opinion of the subject: Donald Trump has never accepted his defeat. Farther more, his radical and discriminatory remarks drove his supporters to be mad. I don't like him. I want him get out of U.S. politics.
