Can Trump cede power to Pence, allowing Pence to pardon Trump? 42bambi Nov 2020 #4

Yes. I fully expect him to left pence by president for one day in exchange for a pardon. unblock Nov 2020 #5

He may well pardon all republicans for any federal crime, period. unblock Nov 2020 #6

Wouldn't surprise me Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Nov 2020 #7

No. He'll feel too sorry for himself. C_U_L8R Nov 2020 #8

Why would he bother if it doesn't benefit him? comradebillyboy Nov 2020 #9

Nailed it! He won't. Why would he? There's nothing in it for him, he doesn't do it. lettucebe Nov 2020 #11

I expect occupancy rates and special events at Trump owned properties may be dropping off precipitously starting like....NOW! Bummer, I feel so bad for the Trump family. Well, maybe not.

The White House China, the silverware, artworks at the embassies, national secrets, pardons, everything’s gotta go! It’s a “I got fired” sale at the White House.

All those bills coming due won’t pay themselves.

And blame his loss on them.

Transactional Trump will pardon only those
who bring him some immediate tangible benefit.

It's not like trump cares about any of those people. They are no longer of any use to him.

The only one who really made out is Roger Stone -- he got his pardon, which makes me sick, but I highly doubt anyone else will. If they do, it'll be hilarious when tRump ends up with the short end of the stick
