There's more than one way to rid the country of a wanna be dictator. Then there's the fact that the supreme Court will never relinquish their ultimate power and if they were to allow this to happen it would jeopardize their standing as the most powerful Court in the nation.
Trump 2024!!!
A pardon for fake crimes.
He should. It is another hoax and election interference and smart people know this. Dems know this the only way they can win. So crooked and dirty the Dems are.
What about the Biden Crime Family
Trump! Trump! Trump! He will be the one saving America from Corrupt Bidet and democrats. Once again
Everyone knows he's the "former President."
He's a civilian so Mr. Trump seems reasonable.
prosecut the Bidens talk about money laundry sell our nation
He would do it on day one. And his alt right lackies on SCOTUS would let him do it.
Can God forgive the holy ghost???
Well we the people will use the 14 th amendment to deny trump. And if this doesn't work, we'll take care of it ourselves.
I don't even see how he can even run for president. Are there not rules, guide lines for people to even run for president. No criminals should be allowed to run. I know you have to be us citizen. So, there us a rule. MF has been impeached twice. US has turned in Banana republic.
He's my president. The current joke at white house is going to k1ll this country
TRUMP 2024!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simple answer is no he can't. No one is above the law. And like others have said before me, "a pardon is an admission of guilt" so that would make him unelectable for POTUS.
HE IS NOT WINNING THE PRESIDENCY IN 2024….. JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. It would take two russia's and a china interferring like russia did in 2016 for him to even come close, but they wont waste their time. They already achieved what they wanted when they helped him cheat in 2016……. A divided America
If Trump wins, he won't need to pardon himself.
If Americans can't drag themselves to the ballot box in 2024 and vote Trump down, then we don't deserve our democracy.
Watch trump win lol 😆😆😆😆
If it was even possible, Nixon would have done it. 😂
The Minority Right Wing Extremist does not have the votes to put the Orange Pumpkin in the White House. The extremist will need votes from the establishment which is difficult to predict because the Republican Party is a collective of Immoral and Unethical Individuals. It will be a Good Thing when the Orange One gets a date in court with Lady Justice.
This is a stupid argument. This "conversation" should not even be entertained. Obviously he can't pardon himself.
The ACCEPTANCE of a "PARDON" carries with it an admission of "GUILT". Guilty of seditious treason or aiding and abetting treasonous acts would disqualify him from holding any office in any U.S. or any State Government.
-U.S. Constitution Fourteenth Amendment, Section 3:
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."
This is straight out of yugioh. You think trump is done, but then he plays the self pardon card right before the episode ends.
He can't win a fair election?
No Trump can not self-pardon himself. Trump can not be the President again as it is.
When Donald Trump committed treason by unlawfully trying to overthrow a legally elected government he lost all rights to be able to hold any position in government, the man's lucky he's not already in prison, where he should be.
