Donald Trump has promised to pardon his White House staffers, reported the Wall Street Journal’s Josh Dawsey in an exclusive report on Friday.

Dawsey, the veteran DC reporter, cited “people who have heard his comments” in the bombshell report revealing that Trump is asking his staff to operate with a sense of impunity.

“I’ll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval,” Trump reportedly told staffers “in a recent meeting to laughs.”

      The US government and the entire US Armed Forces would have to be in complete collapse for that to happen without enormous bloodshed.

      Unfortunately America wouldn’t let an American appear at The Hague. Like I’m sure they’d send special forces to recover them before that.

      America does, and always has, done only what serves America. Biggest threat to world peace for like half their existence.

        Unfortunately America wouldn’t let an American appear at The Hague. Like I’m sure they’d send special forces to recover them before that.

        Gdub signed the Hague Invasion Act back in 2002, so we’ve already got laws on the books to do it.
