"Now, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Donald J. Trump for all offenses against the United States such as inciting insurrection, vile treachery, business fraud, racial discrimination, cowardly draft evasion, being an unregistered agent of the Russian government, tax avoidance, Mammon-like graft, voter suppression, plundering classified information, slander, libel, sexual misconduct, and manifest deception against the American people, which he, Donald J. Trump, has heinously committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from June 14, 1946 through January 19, 2025.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of December, in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-four."

JOSEPH R. BIDEN

That imagined pardon was not needed.

The Supreme Court gave Pres Trump an effectual pardon.

On 8 Sep 1974, President Gerald R. Ford read Richard Nixon's pardon on national TV from the Oval Office.

Yup. That's why this draft was never read on national TV. SCOTUS took care of Trumpf already.

Please tone down your use of images, they are distracting from what your comments seem to say.

Hi Corky. Thanks. My overseas friends liked it as well as they are unaccustomed to Presidential pardons and its history. The Trumperica video is well done. I wonder if AI artists can create your "Statue of Bribery?"
