It's nice to see a president answer questions

[mickymoto]

I absolutely love that Trump lives rent free in liberal heads for the next four years. It makes me giddy.

Joe Biden pardons all members of the January 6 committee. Why.🤔

[pattheegreat]

7:45 'how did Brazil get involved, are you from Brazil?' 😂💀

[samuelramos]

It’s nice to see a President answering questions and not being dictated when to have permission to talk, I bet this reporters love their job again!

[Jeff-pc]

How do u pardon somebody who hasn't even been charged with a crime

[akidnamedryan]

Pardoning the violent ones was too far, greenlighting street thugs. But everything else is good.

Señor presidente libere a esos ciudadanos inocentes ya mismo...son luchadores contra el comunismo y el globalismo asesino

[TheVaryus]

Bro he just said Kim Jong Un has tremendous condo potential for NK shoreline 😂😂😂😂

[Chaoswarlord]

So what message does this send to extremists willing to do anything for a leader? There are violent and dangerous people among those pardoned and it overall sends a very strong and dangerous message.

Happy MLK Day everyone. "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." The word character really hits home today doesn't it? Get off your knees and stay out of the local bars!

[CoolCalmCoop]

Im cool with it as long he doesnt pardon the violent ones.

[alanmorris]

I'm not going to normalize this. This convicted felon has no business releasing convicted insurrectionists from prison.

[initiatorhater]

i will have no sympathy for people who experience buyers remorse towards Trump.

[PaulRossi-khfn]

Those reporters need to shut up and let Trump sign his Executive Orders!

[williamdaniels]

SO MUCH FOR PAMELA BONDI'S TALK OF VIOLENCE AGAINST POLICE OFFICERS.

[bob-pxj]

Well, at least the kids know they are allowed to do such things now....

[MJVH]

"NASTY DEPORTATIONS" LOL ABC... 4 YEARS OF YOU GUYS CRYING
