“Frustration” with Trump “boiled over” on a conference call among House Republicans, the New York Times reports. On the call, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy acknowledged that the deal is now “tainted.” And Republicans vented about the problem this is creating for them:

“I don’t know if we recover from this,” said Rep. Virginia Foxx, Republican of North Carolina, according to three officials on the call. “We will have a hell of a time getting this out of people’s head.”
Representative Don Bacon, Republican of Nebraska, said Mr. Trump had thrown House Republicans under the bus, according to a person on the call.

Meanwhile, The Post reports that both McCarthy and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell were “blindsided” by Trump’s condemnation. And there’s this:

White House aides were receiving an avalanche of angry messages from GOP lawmakers and consultants, who said they felt abandoned by Trump after administration officials said he supported the bill and asked them to vote for it.

Perhaps if the President had showed up to work and actively participated in the negotiations rather than pouting like a toddler for the past six weeks...

I’m inclined to agree with both posts below

I’m thinking he will. The only thing that might stop him would be if he is seriously considering running again in 2024. Issuing a pardon to himself would essentially be an admission of guilt to Federal crimes that he hasn’t even been charged with yet. I know his MAGA cult won’t care, but I have faith that enough people would be bothered by the President admitting to being a criminal while in the White House that he would become unelectable.

I'm inclined to agree with @TN Toffee in that I think he will do it.

If the DoJ comes after him, he gets to cast himself in his fave role the hard-done "billionaire". He then starts up the well-oiled grievance machine and grifts the MAGAdiots for money while keeping his political brand top of mind.

If nobody calls him on it, he's truly above the (Federal) law.

There are people like this that the pardon power could make a world of difference to

Trump believes in Santa, having met him loads of times (albeit his name was spelt slightly differently).

Nah, how can he need a pardon when, in his eyes, everything he does is right...well he did it so how can it be wrong
