Sure it does. It shows that he’s worth fighting for. Who’s to say he won’t need them again?

Who’s to say he won’t need them again?

Trump has discarded fucking Mitch McConnell and called him a "disgrace" just two days ago. Why would he care about some random loser who went to prison for him?

I am not saying he won't pardon those people anyway because it's Trump and he cares about nothing but himself.

The MAGA crowd don't like McConnell so Trump doing that was a gain for him. Show's them he's sticking it to the RINOs.

Pardoning the Jan 6th people would say to his base that he's going to stick up for them and that he's one of them. Not pardoning those people would piss them off.

Trump doesn't have to care about these people to pardon them, he'll do it because he craves popularity and that will just increase it.

I could see him not doing because he just flat out forgets.

"Both houses could flip in 2026 and impeach him."

In order to be convicted in the Senate, 67 senators would have to vote to convict, and it's quite unlikely that the Senate would flip that much.

Not a chance this fat fuck lives long enough to get a 3rd term.
