He's been hedging on the promise since the day he first made it. Also, he says stuff like, "If they're innocent, I would pardon them."

It's a political loser for the GOP, so they'll probably try to talk him out of it or reduce the scale significantly. It remains to be seen if they will be successful.

So are the 1/6 people who will now be loud and triumphant.
I wouldn't be surprised if in 10 years Trump's orange face isn't on the $20 bill.

He is owned; lock, stock and barrel. He continued campaigning while out of gas because they made him do it. Thought he could win while playing golf. Just didn’t work out that way. America’s ass is in a vice, but so is his.

Sometimes, Trump says all. Sometimes, he says some. Sometimes, he says "if they're innocent".

There's a lack of consistency, which is his MO with most things.
