Money or Pardon? Money or Pardon? Money or Pardon?

Oh the dilemma for the grifter in chief.

Does he continue with.... "I'm running in 2024" to keep the suckers/Cult sending him money for "rallies" thereby PISSING off PENCE
who thinks he has a presidential future?

Pence holds the most legal/protectable PARDON powers that for sure tRUMP needs.



Oh the dilemma...

What do you think?

so I think he’ll opt for campaign money. He’s like a chimp with his hand in a trap. He could go free if he relaxed his hand and released the rice, but he’s too greedy and keeps a fistful of rice, ensuring that he’s captured.

That exact conundrum is what has destroyed his entire Presidency.

He has to touch everything and everything he touches goes to crap.

QED.

get his pardon from the shortest-term VP/President ever. He can make history. He's in no hurry. Meanwhile, he can continue to fill his coffers, and must, since he owes a lot of money to some unforgiving people out there.

Besides, he still has work to do. He can pardon a bunch of crooks from his administration and elsewhere, if they can come up with enough tribute to suit him. He's a busy man...
