Trump Says NEVER! 'I Would Never Pardon Myself —These Are Sick Lunatics We're Dealing With' [Watch]

Former President and 2024 GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump spoke with Kristen Welker on Meet The Press Thursday night; Trump touched on a number of topics including if he would pardon himself given the opportunity.

“If you were re-elected, would you pardon yourself?” Welker asks Trump.

“I could have pardoned myself when I left. People said ‘You can pardon yourself.’ I had a couple of attorneys that said ‘You can do it if you want.’ I had some people that said ‘It would look bad if you do.’ I think it would look terrible,” Trump said.

“Here’s the story: these people are thugs. Horrible people. Fascist. Thugs. They’ve been after me since the day I came down the escalator with Melania,” Trump said.

“I could have given myself a pardon … that would have saved me from all these fake charges.”

“I have no interest in even thinking about it —and I could have done it.”
