“If Biden is to be inaugurated ...Trump needs to resign and let Pence pardon him and his family. Otherwise we will see nothing but another Russia Russia Russia the next 10 years.”
Pence may not be willing to do this. Even if he would, it doesn’t stop the left from doing everything it can to destroy his business going forward. A pardon for his presidential term won’t prevent state prosecutions or the IRS and DOJ hounding him and his businesses going forward. It also won’t prevent a campaign to deprive his companies of customers.
I believe that if the liberals try to boycott Trump, that conservatives will make it a point to stay at his hotels and eat at his restaurants. I certainly will.
