Congressman Matt Gaetz believes President Trump should consider a pardon for himself and others in his administration as a means to fend off the radical left.
Gaetz made the comments during an appearance with Fox News personality Laura Ingraham earlier this week.
“President Trump should pardon Michael Flynn. He should pardon the Thanksgiving turkey,” he said. “He should pardon everyone from himself to his administration officials to Joe Exotic if he has to.”
While those comments were seemingly lighthearted, what lies on the horizon when President Trump leaves office is anything but.
“You see from the radical left a bloodlust that will only be quenched if they come after the people who worked so hard to animate the Trump administration with the policies and the vigor and the effectiveness that delivered for the American people,” Gaetz explained.

Can you actually believe that ANY of the founding fathers would actually intend a person to be able to pardon themselves?
It’s so completely stupid, criminal, and immoral that no person of honor or integrity could even conceive of it
I think they are trolling the left. There’s been rumors that Obama pardoned many in his last POTUS days. If trolling then get the left to scream “no fairsies” and how it is treasonous and then reveal Obamas supposed pardons.
Trump isn’t leaving office. He won and China’s Manchurian Candidate isn’t getting the keys to the nuclear arsenal. We’d never have another real election if Trump conceded to this fake one.
That is a problem with near absolute power in this area. It would end up in the SC. If bidet is installed, President Trump should do it. Otherwise the communist mf ers will not leave him or his family be.
Arguments both ways, but a general consensus, President cannot pardon himself. Now, he could step down on December 15th and after swearing in Pence, Pence could pardon him. But...if he did that he has no plans to run in 2024 or stay active in politics. If would be a tact admission that he was guilty of something. They will hound him because he will be a force in 2024. In one year (2022) PDJT could begin rallies again for MAGA House and Senate candidates. In most States the MAGA candidate would be the odds on favorite even against an incumbent if Trump is holding rallies for them. That scares the GOP and RATS.
lol I keep hearing this.
WTH???!?!?
for WHAT???
specifically???????
There has to be a crime to pardon. There are none.
He can’t do a thing about the SDNY coming after him though, and that’s where I believe they will try and indict and imprison him. DJT isn’t just the leader of The Conservative Party, he carries a Pro-USA message that is absolutely lethal to the vision of the globalists who think they know what’s best for all of us. They are going to do everything in their power to remove him from the board before 2022, and most definitely before 2024.
Trump should issue a blanket pardon to all US citizens from paying 2021 taxes if they paid 2020 taxes. STARVE THE BEAST.
