Trump keeps saying that he can void all of Joe Biden’s pardons.
Obviously, this is not true and it has nothing to do with whether or not Biden signed the documents with an autopen which, by the way, is perfectly legitimate. It’s because Trump simply does not have the authority to void a previous president’s pardons.
It’s too bad, really, because it would be nice if a future president could void all the pardons Trump is giving and is planning to give to his criminal family, friends, cronies and accomplices. Perhaps he should give a moment’s thought to that.
I’m sure this is just schtick. He knows he can’t do it. So why does he persist in saying it? (This is not the first time he’s made this “declaration.” ) I suspect it’s just a form of mental masturbation, giving himself a thrill by issuing royal orders against the man he loves to blame for all of his own failures. The question is why so few of his followers, especially the officials in Washington, have had even the slightest objections or concerns about having a person of such low character, psychological impairment and compromised intelligence running the country. My conclusion after all this time is that they must be exactly the same way. And that means tens of millions of our fellow Americans are as well.
Getting Trump off the stage won’t solve that problem, I’m afraid.
