Wait, as in a presidential pardon for a prolific underage sex trafficer, despite a Supreme Court ruling? Lmao.
Clown country. What does Faux News say? Lol
They'll defend the pedophiles and billionaires*, as usual.
*Whoops, sorry for what seems like redundancy more and more.
100,000% this.
It's what they were made to do: entrench the privilege of the wealthy via propaganda.
"I will speak to the DOJ," he added. "I wouldn't consider it or not consider it."
This man (and I use the term very loosely) has no clue what the fuck words mean 🤦
Listen to the full quote, it’s clear that he’s just bullshitting/vamping because he genuinely doesn’t remember anything about the topic he’s being asked about. He forgot who she is. This is also a massive cause for concern, obviously.
Listen to the full quote
No thanks, I already get exposed to plenty of his ramblings in text. I draw the line at actively looking to listen to him.

I'm pretty sure that's 99% of what he ever says when Stephen Miller hasn't written a tirade for him.

Yup. In a sane world, he'd be in an assisted living facility, not the dictator of the richest and most powerful country in the history of the planet.
Sadly I think it’s for plausible deniability.
Coming from any intelligent manipulative person, sure perhaps. But coming from someone who primarily speaks word salad?
More like plausible dementia disability, amirite? Up top! 🤚
Well, it depends what your meaning of the word is, is.
Is = oral sex
They are so, so close. Just keep pulling at that thread, maga...
Is he so senile he doesn’t remember her, in which case remove him from office, or is h he really going to look into pardoning one of the biggest child traffickers ever, in which case remove him from office.
He's going to wait to see if she'll pay the fee to be pardoned like the rest of the pardons he sold.
They're old friends
The second part
What is he actually waiting for though?🤔
There's probably one or two killjoys who want him to wait for the most opportune time as opposed to just doing it because he's a guilty child rapist.
Waiting for the various propaganda networks to warm the populace up for the idea first.
This is absolutely the reason. They need to make sure a coordinated narrative is beamed out to their cult propagandists so they can somehow blame it on the DemonRATS.
He's waiting for someone else to fix the situation for him, his brain is soup
If I wait long enough, maybe the problem will solve itself(Trump probably)
I'm going with he's waiting for the midterms to be over.
Once she is pardoned, she loses her 5th Amendment right not to testify against herself
"I'm shocked. Just shocked," he said cynically.
Does there exist a red-line which MAGA cultists, conservatives, moderates, and all the flavors of the left can agree upon? My brain says no, but my heart says maybe this could be it.
I sincerely don't see how anyone could defend this. I'm sure they'll try, though.
The red line should have been Trump admitting on tape to being a sex offender.
All this shows is that the cultists have literally zero morals
They're already excusing it saying it's so that she can't plead the fifth when she gets subpoenaed for cases against people she trafficked for.
He told SCOTUS not to take the case because he wanted the leverage over her.
Underrated comment
The pardon is already signed and tucked away in a drawer in the White House somewhere...
Her attempt at the SC (possibly suggested by a 3rd party) was more a redirection, now it gives Trump the chance to shine as a benevolent leader (like he thinks he is) while also making clear to the SC he'll overrule them when he sees fit...
Trump would never sacrifice himself in any way for anyone.
We MUST Protect CHILD RAPISTS!
-LITERALLY Republicans!
CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked Trump about the possibility of a pardon for Maxwell at an Oval Office event on Monday.
"I haven't heard the name in so long," the president responded. "I can say this, that I'd have to take a look at it. I would have to take a look."
Who is that? I barely even remember who that is.
jfc how has this horror show of a human being courted votes?
Inb4 Maxwell gets the presidential medal of freedom.
Nah, she'll go home and shoot herself in the head 3 times with a type written suicide note next to her body professing the orange moron's innocence.
All while backing over a 10th story pent house balcony railing
Ooooo. Going all Russian here. Gravity poisoning.
Hey ya know some people are just too fenestrated, and need some help
The thing about a pardon is that you can be forced to testify afterwards because the information cannot be used to incriminate you so the Fifth Amendment doesn't apply anymore
Unfortunately truth serum isn't really a thing, and perjury is still hard to prove.
Whyyyyy?
Seriously, this behavior only makes sense as someone with blackmail. Why not just, I dunno, ignore it? Why bring chance of the pardon back into potential? Why remind people of the Epstein files?
I’m glad in some sense that he’s exposing his vulnerabilities in broad daylight. Seems like a really dull minded decision on his part.
I'm sick and tired of this administration's rampant and bizarre "soft on child sex offender" agenda
Dude fucking LOVES pedophiles and human traffickers. It’s like, weird how much this guy is into it.
Fucking LOL
We know bro... We fucking knew the whole time
There will be riots if these scumbag molesters pardon her.
Like when he raised an armed insurrection and everyone went about their Tuesdays like normal?
Will there? #doubt
