What other President would spend literally hours on Twitter? Don't they have bills to sign, people to see?

Pardon himself from what?


That's a good question. You have to ask why Trump has been talking about pardoning himself if he did nothing wrong.


This rumor stems from the Washington Post claiming it received a tip (from an anonymous source I'm sure) that the president had essentially asked (who?) if he could pardon himself and his family.

At this point in time this has zero credibility in my opinion.

Within an hour, your appraisal was contradicted by a tweet from Trump himself. Ouch!


Ouch nothing. I said "at this point in time".

I feel the 2018 elections might prove VERY interesting.

How would any of that be affected by writing out a dozen sentences a day? But the thing with Trump is he was supposed to be unlike any other president.

Exactly. Even Nixon did not even consider a self-pardon.

The concept only makes sense if he KNOWS he did something wrong.

This is beyond nuts.

It's not Republicans vs Democrats any more. It's morality vs amorality/immorality.


Maybe he's wondering what his options are if he gets framed.

"I am certain that Putin did not collude with Trump, because Putin assured me repeatedly that he was only colluding with me!" :lol:

Why? Because it's the Washington Post?

Jill Stein is absolutely right.

Hillary Clinton is a sack of corporate slime ... just like Trump.
