Trump confirms mass pardons based on Biden
by Flint: Donald Trump
The author is fully backing President Trump's move to potentially pardon his own team and allies, framing it as a necessary shield against the Democrats' midterm platform which targets them. They argue that since Biden set the precedent by pardoning so many people, the logic holds: Based on Biden, I can do whatever I want, because he certainly pardoned a lot of people! The piece warns that lawfare campaigns are already being planned against Trump officials, speculating that a Democrat Attorney General in 2029 would be far worse than Merrick Garland. This stance treats the potential pardons as a justified response to anticipated legal attacks. Meanwhile, the speaker noted cutting a ribbon in Texas at a Peterbilt plant building a massive truck factory, moving production from outside the United States back inside, even while saying they aren't thinking about the pardons right now.

Well, it's a long time from now, and they've been very honorable. We've done a great job. We're the hottest country anywhere in the world. I'm going to cut, as an example, a ribbon in Texas from Peterbilt. They're building a massive trunk factory. They're moving from outside of the United States to inside. So it's not something I'm thinking about now, but based on Biden, I can do whatever I want because he's certainly pardoned a lot of people. He pardoned everybody himself. Yeah. Yeah.
