Former President Donald Trump has thrown down the gauntlet regarding Joe Biden’s recent pardons for members of the January 6 Committee. In a spirited Sunday night post on Truth Social, Trump declared these pardons “void, vacant, and of no further force or effect” due to the fact that they were signed with an autopen. In Trump’s world, it’s not just a fancy pen; it’s another sign that “Sleepy Joe” is utterly out of the loop on important matters.
The former president argued that Biden was completely unaware of the pardons, claiming that he didn’t even approve the necessary documents. To Trump, this isn’t just administrative oversight; it smacks of potential criminal activity from those running the show behind the scenes. In a twist of irony, one of Trump’s main criticisms tends to revolve around the alleged incompetence of his adversaries. He suggests that if Biden was really the one calling the shots, he would know what was going on – and the fact that he doesn’t speaks volumes.
The significance of these pardons, or lack thereof, takes a more conspiratorial turn as Trump claims the members of the January 6 Committee should be anxious about their own legal futures. With an air of theatrical flair, he emphasized that those who “destroyed and deleted ALL evidence” during their investigation into him might soon find themselves in hot water. The former president paints himself as a wronged victim, while his critics are cast as the masterminds of a two-year-long witch hunt, turning the whole saga into a bizarre courtroom drama.

In Trump’s narrative, the accusations fly fast and furious—pointing fingers squarely at Nancy Pelosi, claiming she rejected military aid that could have prevented chaos. The implication? The true masterminds behind January 6 are not the people who rallied peacefully but rather the politicians who were supposed to keep order. It’s a striking redirection of blame that has become a signature move for Trump, effectively making his opponents the villains in a story where he sees himself as the wrongly accused hero.
He goes so far as to invoke a young woman who allegedly made sensational claims against him, arguing that her story was nothing but a big hoax that fell apart under scrutiny. According to Trump, the supposed “evidence” against him was purged because it was too hot to handle. In a world where everything appears convoluted and twisted, Trump reaffirms his position as the underdog—a fighter against a deep state at odds with the true America. If nothing else, this saga proves one thing: the political chess game is alive and well, and the pieces are taking shape in wildly unexpected ways.
