Convicted felon acknowledges convicted felon. Can we skip to the part where he blows his brains out in a bunker?

Well we don't want him to have the bunker, we want its construction to stop.

How about he blows his brains out at the site where the bunker would have gone? Feels like a healthy compromise.

That's his second bunker, though. He's welcome to use the one he hid in when people were protesting the wall around the Whitehouse.

The unilateral presidential pardon was a terrible idea, and we should get rid of it at the earliest possible opportunity.

Who hasn’t done a little insider trading? 🤷

The only trading I’ve done is outside at a flea market! I’m innocent I tell ya!
