    You missed a few.

    1. Pardon himself for all federal crimes
    2. Appoint Aileen Cannon as AG.
    3. Order Cannon to fire Jack Smith.
    4. Pardon Steve Bannon
    5. Make up some new federal power to somehow interfere in state cases to have those charges dismissed. And keep in mind he has a united Congress and Supreme Court that will just make it legal by some twisted interpretation of the Supremacy clause or something.
    6. Have the rulings on the E. Jean Carroll case reversed and get his money back.
    7. Make Truth Social the official method of communcation for Presidential matters, causing his stocks to skyrocket and for him to rake in billions.
    8. Leave any Cabinet positions related to education unfilled and begin the shutdown of the Department of Education
    9. Appoint RFK to oversee healthcare, eliminating Obamacare and banning about every medical breakthrough we’ve made in the modern age, causing the return of serious diseases such as measles.
    10. Advocate for a national abortion ban.
    11. Begin the implementation of Project 2025.

      But a pardon is not an absolution. To accept a pardon you also accept the crime that you did.

        How cute…you think that norms still apply.

        Trump will self-pardon, say he did nothing wrong, and pardon the J6 rioters unconditionally. And the same Congress who spent the day in a basement fearing for their own lives will stand up and applaud, and the Supreme Court will rubber stamp it with one hand while fellating him with the other.

        This is the Trump revenge tour 2.0. Trump does what he wants, and everybody just bends the law around it. Traditional norms are simply ignored. If you think it was bad last time, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

          He won’t pardon the insurrectionists. He already got what he wanted out of them. He doesn’t pay bills he owes to the little guy.
