Donald Trump often proposes policies that are aligned with where the American public stands. A vast majority of Americans want a crackdown on illegal immigration. They also want controls on the excessive spending that have brought us runaway inflation. They want to crack down on the Marxist DEI and critical race theory programs that have been pushed in our military and other federal institutions.
So, if you have a popular platform to espouse on your first few days upon retaking the White House, why would you step on your own tail by also including January 6th pardons on that same day?
Let’s set aside for the moment whether there should or should not be any pardons for those who were involved that day. If you were going to do it, wouldn’t it have made sense to wait a few weeks to at least bask in the glow of your executive orders that a majority of the public have been clamoring for over the last several years?
Of course, the biased mainstream media is going to bash you, whatever you do, but why give them more fuel by incorporating such controversy into your first day when you could have kept the focus on the things that the American public really care about?
Even in politics, timing matters.
