That would've been an entertaining alternate timeline, if only because having someone who's President for only two months is one of those things you see happening a lot in countries just before they dissolve into civil war and mass panic

It's not a good solution for the president-reject b/c presidential pardons are for federal convictions and he's got state AG's breathing down his neck (Hi, NY!!)

Is it possible to pardon someone from state-law charges? I thought a pardon was no good for getting him out from the wrath of the NY AG.

Yeah that's true

It’d take a constitutional amendment but there ought to be a clause excluding current and former elected officials from presidential pardons.

Besides not covering the book that New York State is about to throw at him, resigning and pardon requires him to admit "weakness" (resigning) and guilt (pardon). Combover Caligula doesn't have that capacity.

Book? They’ve been saving up the discards from the NY Public Library *just for him*. Flood of books. Torrent. But yes. His ego might have been able to handle concession in the first 24 hours. The red mirage hurt everyone.

Do you think that's just down to Trump being pathologically incapable of admitting defeat, not wanting to share, or something else?

It wouldn’t save him from state prosecutions though which are being held off due to executive privilege. He had it bet all of the marbles.

He knows he's a crook, but I don't think he would ever admit to it by being pardoned.
