Should Trump be disqualified from running for president?

Arguments for and against disqualifying Trump from running for president

There are several arguments in favor of disqualifying Donald Trump from running for president. One of the main arguments is his history of promoting falsehoods and undermining democracy. Trump has been charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying information and has a history of making false claims about election results, which has led to the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. A majority of Americans, 57-38 percent, believe that criminal charges should disqualify Trump from running for president again. Additionally, as a political matter, it may be difficult for an indicted candidate to win votes, as trials do not typically inspire confidence in voters. Therefore, many argue that Trump's history of promoting falsehoods and undermining democracy should disqualify him from running for president.

On the other hand, there are arguments against disqualifying Trump from running for president. Some argue that disqualifying Trump would be undemocratic and would set a dangerous precedent for future elections. Moreover, Trump still has a significant following and could potentially win an election despite his controversial history. A recent poll shows that more than six in 10 Americans do not want him to run, while some Americans believe that he still has a chance. Others argue that disqualifying Trump would be unfair and that he should be allowed to run like any other candidate.
