Make up some new federal power to somehow interfere in state cases to have those charges dismissed. And keep in mind he has a united Congress and Supreme Court that will just make it legal by some twisted interpretation of the Supremacy clause or something.
Have the rulings on the E. Jean Carroll case reversed and get his money back.
Make Truth Social the official method of communcation for Presidential matters, causing his stocks to skyrocket and for him to rake in billions.
Leave any Cabinet positions related to education unfilled and begin the shutdown of the Department of Education
Appoint RFK to oversee healthcare, eliminating Obamacare and banning about every medical breakthrough we’ve made in the modern age, causing the return of serious diseases such as measles.
Trump will self-pardon, say he did nothing wrong, and pardon the J6 rioters unconditionally. And the same Congress who spent the day in a basement fearing for their own lives will stand up and applaud, and the Supreme Court will rubber stamp it with one hand while fellating him with the other.
This is the Trump revenge tour 2.0. Trump does what he wants, and everybody just bends the law around it. Traditional norms are simply ignored. If you think it was bad last time, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Pardon all the losers who voted for him and committed crimes
I bet he won’t pardon the Jan 6. rioters since that doesn’t do anything for him. He already won with them in jail and without their votes, there’s nothing more he needs from them.
Disagree. Pardoning the J6 rioters now “proves” that he “has their back.” That way, if/when he needs another group of rioters to be at his beck and call, they’ll gladly oblige. Especially if he pre-pardons them.
Yeah, he doesn’t like them, but he recognizes their value and loyalty. He’ll take steps to encourage that loyalty. It’s always useful for an authoritarian leader to have an unofficial paramilitary force they can call on to do… things.
Trump had two weeks to pre-pardon them in 2021 and didn’t. 71 million people just voted for Trump this time around. If 0.01% of them are crazy rioters, that’s 7100 people at his disposable. He doesn’t need an additional few hundred who already went to jail and had their life turned upside down, and may not still be loyal.
Oh I’m not saying he gives half a shit about them. But pardoning them is a gesture that ensures that the 7100 people at his disposal knows that he has their back, while costing Trump exactly nothing. Trump won’t do it out of any care for the J6ers, but because he’ll still benefit from it.
The good news is we’ll get a Supreme Court decision on the president pardoning himself. The bad news is we have a president who believes laws don’t apply to him and it will be decided by a court of judges whom he mainly picked, and I’m sure will not see the need to recuse themselves due to any conflict of interest
We’re going to get a Supreme Court who says a sitting president can’t go to jail for any crime, including the state felonies he’s been convicted of that he can’t self pardon.
Suspend habeus corpus, declare strikes illegal, nationalize power grids and other basics. Require national ID cards to make purchases, probably require an oath to Trump to get one…
You forgot fire every single civil servant and install loyal idiots disband the department of education the department of health the weather channel pretty much everything that we’ve grown to appreciate.
Oh and also completely roll back every single social advancement made since the new deal.
You missed a few.
But a pardon is not an absolution. To accept a pardon you also accept the crime that you did.
How cute…you think that norms still apply.

He won’t pardon the insurrectionists. He already got what he wanted out of them. He doesn’t pay bills he owes to the little guy.
That doesn’t matter a bit to people who have no principles.
Yeah, but he and his supporters don’t understand that technicality or gaf about it.
He is already a felon do you think he or his constituents care?
As long as Trump doesn’t see the inside of a cell I don’t think he, or his supporters, will care about that piece of the pardon.

They’d do it again regardless.

Really dark, but logical.
#9 will actually be Putin’s Dirty Sanchez

and who have already ruled that he is all but immune from prosecution.

Don’t say “Viva la resistance”.
No nationalization. All public services will be gutted and sold to cronies.

So his first term all over again.
Except with teeth this time… The rich are going to use to dismantle the government
They have been working on that since Reagan, if not before. It does look like they are on the home stretch now.
The folks making the decisions this time around are the very ones from the Reagan administration that couldn’t do what they wanted…
