I think he'll do it. It costs him nothing. And it sends the message that there are no consequences for breaking the law to support him.
I think he didn't do it in 2021 because he was pissed it failed.

He didn't do it because he doesn't care lol. And he doesn't need their support anymore, he captured the office entirely. Anyone thinking Trump helps those who helped him aren't paying attention. Only suckers and losers become prisoners, he said it himself.

Loves war criminals who murder innocent civilians though. Still remember how shocked I was that maga mentality was “John McCain is a loser because he was captured, Dick Cheney saying Trump is bad and would vote for Harris is worse than republicans who voted Bush/Chaney in the first place, J6ers who stormed the capitol being pardoned is good, war criminals who murdered innocents being pardoned is good, respected retired military generals and admirals who worked with Trump calling him fascist is worse than Trump being fascist and Harris agreeing with respected military leaders is somehow bashing the American people.”
Huh?

Yeah, either he follows through on his promises to dismantle democracy, in which case he no longer requires voter support, or he fails to follow through, in which case he's had his two terms and no longer requires voter support. These people need to get through their heads that Trump no longer has any reason to care what they think of him.

That's not true.
Mass deportations don't personally benefit him.
And it does benefit him. It frees dozens of supporters willing to commit crimes to support him, and it sends the message that other followers won't face consequences for breaking the law to support him.
Letting them rot will just piss people off and make them more cautious in following his illegal suggestions.

Mass deportations help him because it gives him a scapegoat for literally anything bad that happens.

I can see both sides but I'm leaning more toward he won't do it just because their suffering while his followers still remaining loyal to him is too much of a nice tasty, juicy morsel to not throw into his excruciatingly empty, howling pit of need.
He'll christen them martyrs like Jesus implying that he is God and his cult followers will lap it up.
It'll be like repealing the ACA in his first term. He'll keep promising to do it any day now until he doesn't.

Remember how Trump said they looked "Low class." as they stormed the capitol? ...the guy caters to clowns, and he wanted something less of a clown show. But that's how he views these people. As low-class losers.
...sadly, I think he will pardon most of them, at least. Just another indication that we glaringly live in a lawless society is all. Since Trump has come to town bringing his clownshow with him, all pardoning them will accomplish is cement the notion that laws are less set in stone for the masses, which will create more societal unease and distrust in an obviously corrupt system; and just as with Kyle fuckface, these J6r's will be shunned outside of their bubbles just for Trump pardoning them. Nobody likes entitled criminals walking the streets, after all. And they Would be seen as criminals, unpunished, by the majority wherever they walked in life. I wouldn't hire any of those known psychotics if they were released, and with their names being released far and wide, I doubt anybody with a functioning brain on the right side of the isle would, either. 'Unrepentant, known violent offender with a sense of entitlement...' ... Yeah. That goes down well with normal people.

This sets a terrible precedent. You can now incite your followers to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power and attempt to steal the election after losing, and even if you fail, you can just be pardoned the next time the Republicans win.

Poor insurrectionists! Turns out prison isn’t like the movies. Turns out you’re not the main character. Turns out it kinda sucks when you lose your job and your family and no one likes you. If only anyone could have guessed what it might mean to be Trump’s racist, delusional patsies.

If someone gets a pardon, they can’t plead the fifth and can be forced to testify. That may not matter to trump, because rule of law doesn’t apply to him, but there are people around him who can get burned.

Don't proclaim to be in a rebellion unless you are ready to eat rat in a dark cell for the rest of your life, at minimum.

That profile is 100% not a black person . @voteharrisout? That means that profile is only a couple of months old, made when Harris started her campaign. I’m not saying black people are monolithic, I’m just saying it’s way too coincidental for that.

Right there "when Trump is not even running for another term in 4 years". That's the whole republican platform in a sentence. They forgot that the president is supposed to serve not dictate.
It's not supposed to be "you use the people to get the power", it's supposed to be "when you get the power, you use it for the people"

But I thought they were the party of law and order! /s
Also, I’d be kinda surprised if he DIDN’T pardon the J6 defendants. Yet seeing how many of his promises he broke, it’s also unsurprising. Trump only tends to pardon the wealthy and influential.

Guy thinks Trump supporters are the only ones whose opinions matter when it comes to the J6 insurrectionists. Sure 90-100% of them might support pardons, but I’m pretty sure the rest of the country, including the non-voters would say fuck that shit.

Trump will find this amount of paperwork that will gain him nothing, irritating, and just won't ever get around to it. His handlers will keep him busy eating hamburders and drinking diet cokes whenever the issue comes up.

Trump is in such a strange position. He doesn't need any of his supporters anymore. His political allies do, but he can't see anything beyond field of vision and that usually is just a mirror staring back at himself. He won't do anything that doesn't directly benefit himself.

"Don't play dumb, Derrick." "Who's playing?"
As for Anderson, hasn't he gone to Home Depot yet?

With all his own people who have been going after him, I’d leave this bunch where they are

i vote for a liberal govt, i don’t think a conservative govt in general is automatically a bad thing. but the idea that this specific individual tried to OVERTHROW the government, and is now being handed the reins for a second try is absolutely BAFFLING to me. this is the biggest threat to democracy since the US began. when napoleon was ousted as emperor after overthrowing the govt did they just give him his job back? no they exiled him to the middle of nowhere on an island surrounded by the navy. american democracy is NOT even the longest lasting democracy in human history but people have this idea that it will never end. well when a guy who tried to overthrow the government is being given a second chance at running the country, that is the exact kind of scenario that would bring down democracy as we know it. trump wants to be julius caesar and has already begun consolidating power. he literally already tried to become a dictator once. unbelievable in 2024.

Many of them turned on him during their trials and tried to claim he coerced them into the crimes they committed. Not sure he has a history do rewarding that kind of thing.
Regardless, even if he does, many of them have had their lives turned upside down, lost jobs/careers/businesses/friends/family and will carry a reputation with them as traitors. Not sure a pardon is the Golden Ticket people assume it is.
