He couldn’t even run a charity without breaking the law—Now he believes he’s in charge of the Supreme Court, Congress, our rights, and the U.S. justice system. Who’s going to stop him?!

"It’s the principle that Democrats are wholly unwilling to fight on the same playing field as Republicans. It’s that we seem forever doomed to be the party that allows the parliamentarian to shut down our entire agenda, while the Republicans won’t even let the US Constitution shut down theirs."

It's just unreal projection that the conspiracy theory of the day is that Biden was too senile to issue pardons, as Trump demonstrates he has no idea what's happening with the rehiring of federal workers fired by his mini-me president.
Q: Are you going to comply with the judge's order regarding rehiring the federal workers?
TRUMP: What are you talking about?
Q: The judge that ruled the govt has to rehire the fired federal workers. Do you plan to comply?
