I will help: people don't like it when the presidential pardon is used for self-serving shit.

How is pardoning people like Fauci, or even Hunter, that Trump was clearly going to target as part of an "enemies" list, more "self-serving" than literally pardoning anyone that makes you/give you millions of dollars?

(Changpenh Zhao - made him billions; Trevor Milton - donated $1.8 million; Walczak - his mom donated millions)

You don't have to prove it to me that Trump is a lot more self-serving than Biden. This should be obvious to anyone with half a brain.

That said, this shouldn't be a competition of who is "more self-serving". Just because your neighbour murdered two people, doesn't mean that you get to murder one.
