That would be a huge mistake. Trump and his sycophants would certainly spin this in their favor, saying that the entire thing was just a sham to get rid of Trump, making him - and Trumpism in general - much more popular again. |
No matter what the government does, Trump sycophants will spin it in their favor. It really going to be the severity of the charges brought forward that probably will determine if Joe Biden pardon Trump. Pretty much the same scenario with Gerald Ford and Nixon. The pardon is more to move the country forward instead of giving Trump and the GOP a rally point. LOL, remember CPAC where they had this guy in a cage that was suppose to been put in jail because of Jan 6th but the guy did not server a day in jail at all and people was throwing him money and making a show of it.
If Joe is only a one term president and lets say Desantis or some other GOP become president, they would just pardon him anyway so you might as well just preempt that situation for political gain. The thing is Trumpism is here to stay because even now you still have a huge segment of Republicans still making excuses for Trump. Nothing is going to change that anytime soon besides time or his death and even then you gave the GOP a blueprint to their constituents so we will continue to see more mini Trumps in the GOP circle no matter how things goes.
