Lawrence's Last Word: The Worst Day Of President Donald Trump's Life | The Last Word | MSNBC

The poetic justice here is that while he was president, his skin was orange and his shirts were white. But if he's in prison with no access to his tanning bed, then his skin will be pale white and his shirts will be prison-orange. 😄😆😅😂

[conjurerwoman]

He cannot pardon State Crimes, New York State could and should go after the criminal!

[GoGreen]

Poetic Justice would be him in prison. Lock him up! And all of his Toadies

[raviramaswamy]

He cannot pardon himself from the cases in NY.

[danielbos]

We just want the truth at the end of the day. Then we can see for ourselves.

[leeannedowdell]

How many ‘worst days’ can one person have? I think Trump is going for a record that he can boast about, other than the most prolific liar

[wonderwonderful]

But he won't get away with state charges.

[lassuncao]

USA Must regulate with priority the ability of President to issue pardons. It's a nonsense!

[BeatlesFanSonia]

He'll never be a private citizen. He will always be a former president with all the perks. We really need to change our laws to represent the people not the politicians, the rich and the corporations.

[SpaceCommand]

*I LOVE IT!!* Either way, Trump's just delaying his downfall. 😂😂😂😂🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

[dguy]

Can't pardon yourself for crimes you haven't been convicted of. So no, he won't be able to pardon himself from a prosecution that will happen after he's out of office.

[markye]

One fine day, Justice will get him. It's just a matter of IF it comes before his arteries give out. That's your future Trumpees, damnation one way or another.

[steveky]

I only hope it comes out in time for him to transition straight to prison, but it needs to happen when he has no possibility of being pardoned.

[juniorharry]

Hi Lawrence.👋.
Exceptional reporting, Lawrence.👍☺👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.
Keep on digging, Lawrence.👍.
👉👉Patience democrats, patience.👍.

[paulafigueroa]

I still wish to bet he will do anything stupid that would overcome the effect of pardoning himself and make him go to prison as he deserves.

[kulhuk]

What is happening to America's sanity?

[msstrauss]

Can he really pardon himself *before* he has been sentenced?? Does that mean he can also pre-pardon himself for any future crimes he may want to commit?

[agnieszkaniemira]

The "president can pardon himself" bit needs to be changed.

[justaghoulintheworld]

The charges will keep coming long after he is president.

[MJ-txjz]

There is no poetic justice unless he and his family go to jail!
