It was midnight on the East Coast when Donald Trump decided to play emperor. In a post that reeked of desperation and delusion, he declared that all of Joe Biden’s pardons are now void. Yes, you heard that right. Trump, who couldn’t even manage to keep his own administration from imploding, now thinks he can wave a magic wand and undo the actions of a previous president. It’s not just laughable; it’s dangerous.
But let’s get one thing straight: Trump’s claim is a bald-faced lie. He rants about the January 6 documents being deleted, but anyone with an internet connection can find them archived online. The MAGA crowd might have tried to bury them, but they’re still there for all to see. Trump’s just mad because those documents expose the truth about his failed coup.
And while he’s busy playing dictator, the economy is tanking, alliances are crumbling, and he’s cozying up to Putin like a lovesick puppy. But sure, let’s focus on voiding pardons for people like Hunter Biden, Mark Milley, and Anthony Fauci—people who actually stood up to his nonsense.
Speaking of nonsense, let’s talk about Trump’s priorities. While the Midwest was being ravaged by storms that killed over 37 people, Trump was busy bragging about winning his own golf tournament. “Such fun,” he said, as millions of Americans were losing their life savings. The man has the empathy of a rock.
But it gets worse. Trump’s not just voiding pardons; he’s declaring wartime powers. He’s claiming the U.S. is at war with Venezuela, invoking the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans without due process. Sound familiar? It should. It’s the same playbook used for Japanese internment camps during World War II. History’s darkest chapters are being dusted off and reused.
And let’s not forget his love affair with the January 6 insurrectionists. He calls them “patriots” and “hostages,” even making a musical with them to replace the national anthem. Meanwhile, he’s threatening to jail anyone who dares to oppose him, like Liz Cheney, whom he’s accused of treason and fantasized about shooting.
This isn’t just Trump being Trump; this is Trump unchained, drunk on power, and desperate to cling to relevance. He’s revealing his cards early, and they’re all jokers. The economy is crashing, alliances are in tatters, and he’s out here playing golf and posting midnight screeds.
So, what’s next? Will he declare himself president for life? At this rate, nothing would surprise me. But one thing’s for sure: Trump’s not just a threat to democracy; he’s a threat to sanity itself.
