It's actually totally irrelevant what Trump or any MAGA thinks about the pardon. We could all guess what they would think. It wouldn't change a thing.

The only painful part will be for the people who still consume legacy media having to read and hear the false moral equivalency between the pardon of Hunter and the pay-for-play, irresponsible pardons Trump has and will give in the future.
