    It’s a slippery slope if he actually follows through and supreme court allows him to do it because the next pres could just say Trump wasn’t of sound mind so none of his EOs are valid.

      I mean really, they are just executive orders. They have no strength of law and no due process. The next president could literally undue every executive order done by the previous one by just issuing an executive order that does exactly that for no reason.

      Pardon’s aren’t exactly the same thing as an executive order because they have an actual constitutional and legal basis.

    “Anyone receiving ‘Pardons,’ ‘Commutations,’ or any other Legal Document so signed, please be advised that said Document has been fully and completely terminated, and is of no Legal effect,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

    Because of course posting on your own little nazi fan blog is how we do proper government policy these days…

      He doesn’t have the power to countermand any pardon or commutation. He’s probably just fishing for more bribes from the wrongly unpardoned pardonees.

    Total, pointless distraction.

    He should return his attention to gilding the White House shitters and fantasizing about Bubba-spunk.

      Haha nice one like the Dems would ever do that. It wouldn’t be proper or how things are done. Whatever excuse they use to be skinless cowards.
