He will be having the White House totally gilded and giving his horse a seat in the Senate next month.

The next step is deification.

Megalomaniac ?

He does seem have a very weird idea of what being President is about.

Surely there is some block set in American law. Otherwise he and his family/lackies can commit any crime without fear of retribution.

I thought a pardon was for someone who had been convicted of a crime? Surely pardoning them without a trial is admitting that they WOULD be found guilty of doing it but that you don't mind?

And pardoning himself is just ridiculous - that is claiming that he is above all other jurisdiction, so he can commit any crime he likes without retribution. I wonder what future crime he is contemplating and laying down a precedent for?
