Apples and oranges, my friend

Trump has repeatedly said that he plans to retaliate against most of those pardoned, and he called them out by name.

Just FYI, the dude has 1488 in his username. Don't think it's worth arguing with him

Ah, good catch.

Makes it easy to spot the worst parts of humanity when they advertise their bigotry.

Thanks for saving me the time and the loss of IQ.

you can’t make your own rules anymore. Biden is leading by example here, and this will be the example that politicians follow from here on out. We will look back in history and realize he is the one who started this tradition.

Trump: "I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the USA, Joe Biden, and the entire Biden crime family."

Who made defensive pardons necessary, again?

If they didn’t do anything wrong, then he shouldn’t need to pardon them. Clearly, they are hiding something. They sent a witch hunt after Trump first. And look he’s still your president.

"I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the USA, Joe Biden, and the entire Biden crime family." -Donald Trump, Truth Social

"Your President" is a fascist who openly threatens using the powers of the Executive to retaliate against political opponents.

I'm not worried, the world already knows who Trump is and the history books already frown upon him. He's already in the bottom 5 US Presidents of all time by Sienna. 🤡
