When Trump was asked why he had pardoned individuals who had been convicted of attacking Capital police officers on January 6th, he seemed to not know that that was the case:

So Felon47 pardoned the -------- who assaulted police officers and now the fraternal order of police who supported him issued a letter expressing their disapproval of this. What did you think was going to happen poindexters? Y'all got played. Of course he was going to pardon THEM ALL just to get his accomplices in the planning of it out of jail since they took the fall for him.

That's his M.O.

He's got playing dumb down to an art form. That way he never has to take responsibility for anything he does. And the American people go along with it.

Will they ever run out of ways to tick off people as a form of leadership? When is the time where all are led?

- Who is really running this country?

Herr Musk, the power (money) behind Chancellor Trump.

Gotta wait until the concentration camps are ready.

There will be plenty of work for all. Work will set you free!

Then all will be led to the "showers".

"Trump has once again sent a disturbing message to his supporters:

If you engage in political violence on my behalf, I will protect you. Tarrio, Rhodes and their associates should feel emboldened, and there is no telling what they will do with Trump now firmly behind them."

"A federal judge sounded off Wednesday about President Donald Trump's decision to pardon and dismiss charges against virtually all defendants who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, saying the "immutable" record of the violence and heroism of law enforcement that day will remain enshrined in court records.

"Dismissal of charges, pardons after convictions, and commutations of sentences will not change the truth of what happened on January 6, 2021," U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly wrote in a six-page order dismissing charges against Dominic Box, whom she had previously convicted of two felony counts for his role in the riot.

"What occurred that day is preserved for the future through thousands of contemporaneous videos, transcripts of trials, jury verdicts, and judicial opinions analyzing and recounting the evidence through a neutral lens," Kollar-Kotelly wrote.

"Those records are immutable and represent the truth, no matter how the events of January 6 are described by those charged or their allies."

Most Americans disagree with this "F-it" mass pardon of convicted criminals who tried to overturn an Election.

All but the Trumpers, really.

Unlikely, he's only got one term.
What are they going to do? Impeach him?

He's balls to the walls.

You might want to send him a memo about that... he's not convinced.

You could get someone to type it for you... maybe a 5 year old.

I mean, when you are done fantasizing about his 'balls', of course.
