I was surprised he didn't pardon them before he begrudgingly left office.
His advisors probably wouldn't let him. I don't think he really expected to win the first time, so he had to fill his staff out with career Republicans who weren't so high on the Insurrection thing. He won't make that mistake again . All the advisors in the second Trump administraton will owe their loyalty to him, exclusively.
I kind of doubt that, actually. He's already proven himself to be a useful idiot, and he's becoming less useful and more idiot as the days go by. If he does manage to get elected again he's not the one that's going to be in charge, he'll almost certainly be swamped with handlers who will instruct him on which bills to sign and what words to say in order to advance their own agenda.
Right, but last time some of those handlers were more traditional Republicans. This time, it's Nazis all the way down.
He could have, but chose to not do so.
Then he couldn't have made empty promises to do it "soon"
