So much has happened this year – the global pandemic, of course, but also political chaos, freak weather and wildfires, and protests everywhere.

So how do we capture 2020? @ReutersGraphics stitched together clippings from the longest year 👇 https://t.co/83ZgiqzV0W 1/13

Trump may be best remembered for his use of Twitter as a bully pulpit to stoke controversy or browbeat opponents, but the noise his tweets generated often distracted from the big policy changes he made over his four-year term https://t.co/shNVNMoDfg

During his rollercoaster presidency, the focus was often on what Trump was saying and not on what he was doing. But a review of his policies shows that he had a real effect on people’s lives. Here's a closer look 👇

➖ China:

The Trump administration put China’s rise in the spotlight and helped forge a bipartisan and increasingly adversarial U.S. view of the world’s second-largest economy

From a raft of tariffs on billions of dollars of Chinese imports to sanctions against top officials and a muscular use of penalties against top Chinese companies like Huawei, ZTE, SMIC and TikTok owner ByteDance, Trump hit Beijing on a variety of fronts

Tensions have risen especially over the past year with Trump repeatedly blaming China for the coronavirus, which originated in the city of Wuhan. The two global powers are increasingly at odds over a range of other issues, including Hong Kong, Taiwan and the South China Sea

The chaos inside the U.S. Capitol came after the police force that protects the legislative complex was overrun by a mob of Trump supporters in what law enforcement officials called a catastrophic failure to prepare https://t.co/DqwlosQxKY

The siege of the Capitol represents one of the gravest security lapses in recent history, current and former law enforcement officials said, turning one of the most recognizable symbols of American power into a locus of political violence

While events such as a presidential inauguration involve detailed security plans by numerous security agencies, far less planning went into protecting the joint session of Congress that convened to ratify the results of the 2020 presidential election, officials said

That lapse came despite glaring warning signs of potential violence by hardline supporters of Trump, who are inflamed by his baseless claims of a stolen election and hope to block the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden

And security initially was handled almost entirely alone by the U.S. Capitol Police, a 2,000-member force under the control of Congress and dedicated to protecting the 126-acre Capitol Grounds

U.S. President Biden hailed the ceasefire now in effect between Israel and Gaza, after 11 days of fighting in which he was criticized by fellow Democrats for not speaking out more forcefully against Israeli actions https://t.co/ANjZ6u9OOE

A surge of retail stock trading over the last year lit the fuse that sent shares of GameStop rocketing higher without a clear business reason, market watchers say, squeezing hedge funds that had bet against the retailer and other companies that were out of favor on Wall Street

What is going on? Here are some answers 👇

More individuals have invested in stocks during the COVID-19 pandemic, and experts cite a number of reasons, including lockdowns boosted savings, stimulus putting cash into people’s pockets and extremely low interest rates

Also, a proliferation of trading apps allowed anyone with a smartphone to buy or sell stocks for free. Retail investors’ participation in U.S. equity order flows increased to nearly 20% in 2020 from 15% in 2019, data from Swiss bank UBS showed

What has been the impact of this surge in retail trading?

Big U.S. technology companies were among the beneficiaries last year. Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google saw record inflows as their businesses benefited from lockdowns and their stocks soared

💵 With unprecedented stimulus and easy money policies from central banks, investors then shifted to smaller stocks, especially ones that got beaten down during the pandemic

Hard to believe how many times @Newsweek has had to put out corrections. A thread.

LAGOS TERRORIST ATTACK, THE MISSING CNN/BBC DOCUMENTARY

They have the documentary of how Lagos was attacked by terrorists on the 21st of October 2020 in a well coordinated way, they're only hiding it for now. @CNN operating ILLEGALLY in Nigeria is keeping this away from viewers!

Giving the breakdown of the Economic cost of the SORO SOKE EndSARS protest at Lagos Business School, the loss was estimated way above $12 billion. The entire economy of Rwanda as a Nation is less than that.
This terrorist attack was well coordinated especially by CELEBRITIES!

The International Media platform @CNN @CNNAfrica @cnni used their go-between folks @StephanieBusari @nimaelbagir & @IshaSesay to coordinate this terrorist attack in Nigeria, specifically using Lagos being the Economic Capital to bring crisis. @BBCAfrica was complacent also.

If you Insist this was not a well coordinated terrorist attacks, there are questions asked by Dr @fimiletoks, Please answer it LIVE on @CNN @cnni @BBCAfrica
1. Tell us the end game for the protest when all their demands were met.
Was SARS dissolved AS AT 11th October? #5For5?

2. If the plan was not to throw the country into chaos & effect a regime change why keeping the protest on especially in Lagos, when everything they asked for was done?
3. What was supposed to bring an end to their protest?
4. What would have made you guys leave the road?

1/13 Doubt anyone who should read this will, but here goes-We had @FOXnews on 24/7 every day for years.
Recorded so many great shows to watch when we had time at night.
Then BOOM
-They fired Glenn Beck
-Then the Meghan Kelly fiasco
-Then Brett Baier's show died
