In a series of scathing Truth Social posts on Tuesday, Donald J. Trump lambasted President Biden for issuing a pardon without being paid for it.
“Pardoning someone for free was an incredibly selfish act,” Trump wrote. “This will lower the market value of every future pardon I give.”
“The framers of the Constitution gave the president pardon power for one reason: to make money,” Trump continued. “I have too much respect for the Constitution to pardon people for free.”
In perhaps his strongest denunciation of Biden’s actions, he added, “Any decent father would have made Hunter ambassador to France.”
