Not to mention this same president allowed people who did attempt a violent coup (of the "usual" kind) to get out of jail despite being convicted. (And despite previous assurances, i.e., from Vance that "of course" violent offenders would not be freed.)

And the GOP-controlled Senate just stood by.

JD Vance isn’t the president and everybody who was paying attention in 2016-2020 should realize that Trump listens only to Trump.

Not sure what you think the senate could have done about it…the president has the authority to pardon and he literally did it hours after he was inaugurated.

Trump listens to the last person who talked to him. You can find superclips of his schedule, and then giving a speech or press conference parroting the same ideas of the people he met with earlier that day. Then a couple days later saying the opposite, because he met with someone else that day.
