Capitol riots: Trump's 'value, power and viability have been greatly diminished'

Political donors, corporate backers and social media platforms are distancing themselves from Donald Trump over his role in last week's storming of Congress. The riot happened after Mr Trump told supporters at a rally in Washington DC to "fight like hell" against the result of November's election.

Eric Bolling is an old friend and longtime supporter of Donald Trump. He says he believes that President Trump underestimated what his supporters were planning as they gathered in Washington, but despite that, he should still be held responsible. He says that recent events will undoubtedly affect the Trump brand and his family.

"The Trump brand is greatly tarnished."
