Latest school of thought (and its being led by The Independent over here); Trump is seeking/agreed to a 'presidential pardon' over his tax affairs, and for him not to dispute the result of the 2020 election.
he will get a pardon off Mike Pence who will be acting as interim president between the result and the crowning on Jan 20th of a new president - apparently, trump thought he could pardon himself !.
i wonder if it was thrashed out undercover last week whilst he was in a military hospital?
America just wants and needs to see the back of him. by the way, so do the rest of us.
