Where's he going to get the money to pay for that?

 

 

 

 

 

I also don't think Washington D.C. is required to or willing to grant him a permit. So if he wants it there he'll have to break the law. I really doubt anyone will let him do a rally near Washington D.C. ever again.

Perhaps his way to get his 'cult army' into DC for more havoc. 

 

 

Speaking of  Q is saying Trump spoke to them in Morse code when he was 'condemning' the riots.  :blink:

DELUDED QAnon fans believe Donald Trump sent them a secret message in Morse Code during his video where he condemned the Capitol riot.

Trump issued a video Wednesday night to condemn violent mob which stormed the Capitol building in Washington, DC, which left five people dead.

During his video speech which was posted to the White House’s Twitter account, Trump said the rioters were not his “true supporters” and slammed the attack as a “calamity.”

"I unequivocally condemn the violence that we saw last week," Trump said. "Violence and vandalism have absolutely no place in our country and no place in our movement."

In the video Trump can be seen to move his hand four minutes and 20 seconds in and QAnon devotees believe he was sending them a message.

The bizarre claim was initially made on a pro-QAnon forum called the Great Awakening, where the poster claimed that Trump’s hand movements at that specific time represented “dash-dash-dot-dash,” which represents the letter Q in Morse Code

The topic was then picked up on numerous Telegram channels that have gained huge numbers of users since Twitter purged QAnon-linked accounts and Parler was forced offline.

On Telegram, as well as the social media site Gab, QAnon followers are discussing that they think Trump is about to send them a message using the Emergency Broadcast System, so he can get around what they see as censorship by the big tech firms.

Others have been predicting there will be a national power blackout which will signal the start of Trump’s plan to overturn what they see as the "deep state" which has been plotting against him.

It is thought QAnon followers played a key role in the violent storming of Capitol Hill and the takeover of the building.

Remember when people said they just couldn't vote for Hillary because of the "pay to play" allegations?

 

LOL.

 

 

Prospect of Pardons in Final Days Fuels Market to Buy Access to Trump

WASHINGTON — As President Trump prepares to leave office in days, a lucrative market for pardons is coming to a head, with some of his allies collecting fees from wealthy felons or their associates to push the White House for clemency, according to documents and interviews with more than three dozen lobbyists and lawyers.

 

The brisk market for pardons reflects the access peddling that has defined Mr. Trump’s presidency as well as his unorthodox approach to exercising unchecked presidential clemency powers. Pardons and commutations are intended to show mercy to deserving recipients, but Mr. Trump has used many of them to reward personal or political allies.

 

The pardon lobbying heated up as it became clear that Mr. Trump had no recourse for challenging his election defeat, lobbyists and lawyers say. One lobbyist, Brett Tolman, a former federal prosecutor who has been advising the White House on pardons and commutations, has monetized his clemency work, collecting tens of thousands of dollars, and possibly more, in recent weeks to lobby the White House for clemency for the son of a former Arkansas senator; the founder of the notorious online drug marketplace Silk Road; and a Manhattan socialite who pleaded guilty in a fraud scheme.

 

Mr. Trump’s former personal lawyer John M. Dowd has marketed himself to convicted felons as someone who could secure pardons because of his close relationship with the president, accepting tens of thousands of dollars from a wealthy felon and advising him and other potential clients to leverage Mr. Trump’s grievances about the justice system.

 

A onetime top adviser to the Trump campaign was paid $50,000 to help seek a pardon for John Kiriakou, a former C.I.A. officer convicted of illegally disclosing classified information, and agreed to a $50,000 bonus if the president granted it, according to a copy of an agreement.

 

And Mr. Kiriakou was separately told that Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani could help him secure a pardon for $2 million. Mr. Kiriakou rejected the offer, but an associate, fearing that Mr. Giuliani was illegally selling pardons, alerted the F.B.I. Mr. Giuliani challenged this characterization.

Your post doesn’t say anything about Trump trying to cash in from what I read.
