And his pardons don't affect state charges - plus, as Michael Cohen said, it could backfire on Trump who is too clueless to think of that. He likes to think of himself as the American version of Kim Jong-un since he has never read the Constitution or knows a thing about American History or Civics

And that's yet another excellent depiction! Something that we all can look forward to?!
