    There is no way Trump will pardon him

    Other famous predictions I’ve made include:

    • There is no way Trump will get elected

    • There is no way Trump will get elected again

      As President, Trump can only pardon people for federal crimes, not state.

      If he wants to pardon people for Minnesota state crimes, he has to run to be governor of Minnesota, win, and he still can’t do pardons single-handedly then:

      https://mn.gov/crc/about-us/board-pardons.jsp

      The Minnesota Board of Pardons (Board), which consists of the Governor, the Minnesota Attorney General, and the Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court, may grant a pardon or commutation to individuals who meet basic eligibility requirements set forth in state law. To receive a pardon or commutation, the Governor and at least one other Board member must vote in favor of clemency.

        There’s no law saying Trump can’t run for governor of all 50 states simultaneously. Oh, wait, there is? Well there’s no law saying Trump can’t break the law

            And democrat leaders are like “Don’t worry everyone, the rule-book CLEARLY states that a dog can’t play basketball, if he even tries it will be a violation of our sacred institution” As the dog is dunking in the background and scoring points.

        Why do you need an entire council to pardon a local menace, but you only need one high-functioning sociopath to release a nation-wide criminal?

      Can’t even imagine how quickly everything would go to shit if he actually pardoned him (state charges anyway so can’t happen). Instant green light to a third of the country that they “can” just kill democrats.
