PRESIDENT TRUMP MUST NOT GRANT HIMSELF PARDON.

ICHEOKU says under no circumstance should President Donald John Trump ever grant himself PARDON. He should instead courageously and bravely allow himself to be martyred and watch himself grow taller, huger and larger. But for him to allow himself to be seen as a frightful, squealing, lily-livered person, by granting himself pardon will be too detrimental to the profile of courage which he has built during the the last four years. 

He should bravely face whatever travails his detractors may chose to levy against him and watch his supporters firmly stand by him throughout the length of the ordeal. But if he preemptively grants himself pardon, he will be forever diminished in the eyes of his supporters, the world, as well as the general American public who will now be convinced that all the allegations against him are true and that he is deathly afraid to face the repercussions and  consequences, hence the easy cowardly way out. 

Good generals ad leaders throughout history would rather fall on their swords to defend their honor and that of their followers than become hounded as a turncoat leper. This should be the guiding light for the president going forward as the fight to fix what is broken about America is a fight of a lifetime. Therefore he must on no account whatsoever grant himself a peremptory pardon as the long term effect will be far worse than any temporary benefit that may accrue to him. Instead he should consider granting everyone who put their neck on the line for him throughout his tumultuous four years in office including those who stormed the Capitol a general pardon and damn any blowback that may occur. 

Those who stormed the Capitol acted on his passionate speech, admitted they overreached themselves by breaking and entering the building. Their rowdiness is somewhat understandable but never justifiable. Those Americans who burnt down police stations last summer did not face charges. Those who caused havoc in Seattle and wrecked courthouses did not face charges. Those who stormed the Supreme Court building during Justice Brett Kavanaugh's saga did not face charges. Those who burnt down churches and tore down statues did not face charges, so why should the case against some Americans who stormed the Capitol be any different. Is it because they are conservatives and support the president? 

If they were Democratic Party's foot soldiers BLM and ANTIFA, Democratic Party's leadership would have explained their action away as "some people are going to do what some people will do"; but unfortunately, with Republicans, they run away and abandon their own foot soldiers the moment they smell the slightest trouble. Thus begging the question, does it still pay to be a Republican Party supporter or even member? 

During last year's upheaval, over $2 billion in properties damage were sustained as BLM and ANTIFA took the country hostage to their riots, looting and burning; yet they were all set free. But now that far less  property damage was levied in Capitol, the people whose passion carried away will be punished severely. ICHEOKU says, really? It is such one sided approach to issues involving Americans that is riling Americans and hopefully it will be nipped in the bud before it forever draws an indelible line on the sand between Americans. It is unfortunate that the same American people are being segregated and treated differently depending on their politics and philosophy and you wonder how united is such a country really. 

ICHEOKU says as American people await to see what happens, President Donald John Trump must not make the mistake of walking into a trap of pardoning himself. It is better to wait and see what his detractors will do and if he will be the first former president of the United States of America to be sent to prison as that will set an incalculable precedent. He did not lock Hillary Clinton up and she was not even a former president, so let Americans see if Joe Biden will lock him up. The president is a champion of the masses and he must be prepared to take it and make whatever sacrifices on behalf of the masses who have made so much sacrifices for their president and will be prepared to make more should the occasion arise. Real leadership is about sacrifices and not only benefits and he should be man enough to take whatever his traducers may throw at him because of and on behalf of the people. Like Jesus, he will grow taller, huger and larger following such a persecution and should dare them to try. Don't do it Mr President!
