Luxembourg's Foreign Minister Asselborn gave the interview in which he calls Trump a pyromaniac was aired the day after the attack on the U.S. Capitol on @RTLlu, in Luxembourgish. I'm listening back to it now, and will fill you in on some more quotes.

Here's some more of what Luxembourg Foreign Minister Asselborn said:

- "Mister Trump is a criminal, a political pyromaniac who should be sent to criminal court. He's a person who was elected democratically but who isn't interested in democracy in the slightest."

More from Luxembourg Foreign Minister Asselborn's interview on 7 January:

- "The 6th of January 2021 was a 9/11 attack on democracy itself, and Trump was the one who egged it on."

More from Luxembourg Foreign Minister Asselborn's interview on 7 January:

- "The people who are truly responsible are Trump and members of the GOP. People like Ted Cruz and other elected Republicans are responsible because they acted like Trump's poodles."

Just another day at the White House. Today, Trump will be awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to golfers Annika Sorenstam and Gary Player, as well as Olympic athlete Babe Zaharias. Nothing to see here.

And White House staffers are still happily wandering around the complex, mask-less of course.

Meanwhile, here’s the view from inside the @Potbelly across from the White House.

Here is the Georgia sample ballot, this one from Bartow County.

I can confirm that there are indeed a lot of adverts about this election on TV in Georgia.

Greetings from Sanford in central Florida. 31 degrees Celsius. 87 degrees Fahrenheit. Three hours to go until Trump lands here at the airport.

At today’s Trump rally in central Florida, the first after his hospitalization with Covid-19, masks are exceedingly rare and social distancing is nonexistent.

In downtown Sanford, not far from today’s Trump rally: the local Biden campaign office. Closed this Monday, a federal holiday.

Good morning from Walter Reed military hospital. Trump’s second full day here, and his third day of quarantine, begins.

Richard Potcner and Jennifer Gilde, waking up after spending the night right here along the heavily-trafficked street outside Walter Reed military hospital.
