I don't know about that. Even Trump made comments a few weeks back that there may be exceptions for radicals and crazies.

I suspect that a few of those guys will go down like the pizza guy or worse and it will hurt Trump.
So, your theory is that some of the J6 VIOLENT criminals will commit violent crimes after Trump pardoned them; and, that by committing violent crimes after Trump’s pardon, that will harm Trump?
 
It’s likely Trump doesn’t actually know exactly what his Sharpie was doing when he signed his name. There’s no way he understood or even read the EOs. Someone wrote them, gave him a synopsis free of nuance or implications, and he signed and preened before the cameras.
So you think Presidents draft their EOs? You think Biden had any general idea of what was put in front of him to sign? Trump talks about each EO as he signs them so he knows.

Trump largely says what his advisors tell him to say about X or Y, so he's not distinct from Biden in that regard - except when he goes off-script and does his "weave" or whatever that is.

But Trump is well-known for not ever reading anything or even wanting to read anything, especially things like the PDB, which his own people in his first term said had to be significantly dumbed down with pictures and graphs for him to even want to look at it, much less be able to understand it.
 
SCOTUS?

Congress?

God?

Trump Says He Intends to Impose 10% Tariffs on Chinese Imports on Feb. 1​

The president said the planned duties were a response to China’s failure to curb fentanyl exports.


“… Speaking at the White House, Mr. Trump said that the tariffs were in response to China’s role in America’s fentanyl crisis. Mr. Trump said that China was sending fentanyl to Canada and Mexico, from where it would be transported into the United States.

The tariff threat comes after Mr. Trump said on Monday that he planned to impose a 25 percent duty on imports from Canada and Mexico as punishment for allowing fentanyl and illegal immigrants to cross into the United States.

“We’re talking about a tariff of 10 percent on China based on the fact that they’re sending fentanyl to Mexico and Canada,” Mr. Trump said. …”
Would love to be in the WalMart HQs today
 
Let’s just hope China focuses their retaliatory tariffs on red states like Canada said they would.
Can China manage that level of targeting when their exports are a bunch of cheaply produced goods, sold to mass distributors like Amazon and Walmart?
 


“… Written by Emil Bove, the acting deputy attorney general, the memo also says the department will return to the principle of charging defendants with the most serious crime it can prove, a staple position of Republican-led departments meant to remove a prosecutor’s discretion to charge a lower-level offense.

Much of the memo is centered on immigration enforcement. Bove wrote that prosecutors shall “take all steps necessary to protect the public and secure the American border by removing illegal aliens from the country and prosecuting illegal aliens for crimes” committed in U.S. jurisdiction.

The memo also suggests state and local officials who stand in the way of federal immigration enforcement could themselves come under scrutiny. It directs prosecutors to investigate any episodes in which state and local officials obstruct or impede federal functions. …”

Homan has stated repeatedly he looks forward to sending local officials to jail. He (and Trump based on retweets) are eager for the opportunity to charge and jail local government officials from Blue states and cities. They clearly want to engineer an opportunity…

My point is that no branch will stand up to POTUS.

And, right-wing Christo-nationalism won’t.

But 25% on our closest ally. Makes sense.

I am not sure what China brings in from the US, but they can for sure kick American companies out of their market unilaterally. Also they have a habit of arresting executives from countries they are pissed at. Just ask the several Canadian businessmen who entered the Chinese legal system in the last five years.
