Donald Trump left the White House on Wednesday, ran over the South Lawn towards the helicopter that was supposed to take him to Florida for the Christmas holidays. At the last moment, the president turned around, raised his fist in his silly revolutionary gesture, as if to launch the slogan of the last four years in Washington, Congress and his office once again: me against you.
Me versus you seems to have escalated into a veritable offensive of blockade and destruction in the last four weeks of this presidency. No one expected Trump to leave office quietly and humbly. But now the president uses the best loopholes the law offers him.
Trump’s budget lockdown is the real nuisance that will hit many Americans, cost lives and ruin their livelihoods. Four weeks without government help amid the pandemic can cause severe long-term economic damage to the United States. On the other hand, the 29 pardons that have now been issued are better suited to Trump’s notorious outrage at the morality and censorship of this president. Anyone who wants to re-experience the villainous character, semi-semisiness and lazy type of Trump, has to look at the list of types that the president apparently wrote down in front of the mirror and with a view to himself: Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, the four . Blackwater-Killer, the father of son-in-law Jared Kushner, who sent his own sister a compromising blackmail video about her husband. Anyone who lives in this society has no morality.
But the central question is now: How far will Trump go with his pardons? It has long since abandoned the usual practice, according to which a president relies on the pardon recommendations of a prosecutor in the Ministry of Justice, certainly in accordance with the criteria he has specified.
Trump’s ultimate pardon case would be: Donald Trump himself. In addition to the many civil lawsuits already pending against him, a large wave of lawsuits can be expected after the end of his term. Above all, the politics of the crown could be a reason for wanting to hold the president accountable for his negligence. Beyond visible politics, it is also not unlikely that this presidency was involved in criminal matters: bribery, favoritism, enrichment.
Trump can still do a lot of damage by leaving the White House. In the end, the Supreme Court will likely decide whether to approve the final acquittal itself. The case would be unprecedented: a president has never forgiven himself and a previous incumbent has never been charged. It would be a blessing to Washington and the United States if Trump did not return to the White House from his Christmas trip to Florida. The raised fist would be a suitable farewell salute.
