Trump's Conundrum.

If and when Vice President JD Vance runs for president, he WILL be asked if he will pardon Trump, probably asked to PLEDGE he won't.

If he does say yes or make that pledge to do so, it will cost him a LOT of votes in 2028. If he doesn't it will cost him a LOT of votes from the Trump MAGA sheep who will stay home on election day. A lose-lose situation for Vance.

Sure, if Vance runs and wins, Trump gets a pardon

But if Vance runs and LOSES, the only way Trump gets a pardon (other than the dubious way of pardoning himself) is for him to resign the presidency and let Vance pardon him before a Democrat take office on January 20, 2029.

So wouldnt it be convenient if Trump had to be removed before his term was up and declared unfit due to mental incompetence, rendering prosecution for his myriad crimes, offences and misdemeanours moot.? It gives Vance a "That was then, this is now" Get out of jail card. It also means he will he installed in the White House before the election and be that much harder to dislodge in a challenged election.. But just because I have thought of that doesnt mean Stephen Miller has.. Its just how I would do it if I was planning to take over America...😷
