Trump's Day 1 Showed How Criminal Presidents Could Become the Norm

^{Published on 2025-01-22 07:00:37 - Slate}

We may be entering a prolonged era of legal impunity for presidents, their families, friends, and even criminally violent supporters.

The article from Slate discusses the potential implications of Donald Trump returning to the presidency in 2025, focusing on his first day in office. It speculates that Trump might use his presidential powers to issue a series of controversial pardons, particularly for those involved in the January 6 Capitol riot, as well as possibly for himself and his family members. The piece outlines how such actions could be seen as an abuse of power, potentially sparking legal and political turmoil. It also explores the broader context of Trump's previous statements about pardoning individuals involved in the riot, his views on executive power, and the possible reactions from the public, legal experts, and political figures. The article suggests that these moves could set a precedent for further undermining democratic norms and the rule of law, highlighting the tension between presidential authority and accountability.
