A worst case scenario for Trump would be more jobs, low inflation, accidentally appointing another Souter to the SCOTUS, people going off welfare and back to work, Obama's high lead content water approving EPA getting nuked, peace in the middle east, Taiwan recognition being used as a bargaining chip to get China to pull the plug on little Kim's nuke program, Mexicans going back to Mexico with their better job skills learned in the US and improving the Mexican economy, Canada building a wall to keep Alex Baldwin and the rest from fleeing north, getting health insurance premium increase rate down from 10X rate of inflation, Hillary taking a Trump pardon in lieu of going to Gitmo, Nancy Pelosi deciding to come out openly as a Republican since she is doing such good work for their side in cleaning the Democrats out of Congress faster than the republicans could ever dream of doing it on their own, standing back and letting Elon Musk colonize Mars (Trump Tower, Chryse Planitia anyone?), tricking Putin into contracting an STD with some diseased super model Trump slips him during their summit, Palestinians accept a soon to be totally depopulated Syria as their homeland, congress finally acts on Zika, Trump embraces Simpson/Bowles and saves $1,000,000,000,000 in 5 years with absolutely no down side at all, the US continues with renewable energy programs and tells the fucking Saudis to go fuck themselves using their now worthless crude oil as lube, (vorlon gets to watch that, oiled up hairy guys being a personal favorite), Saturday Night Live is finally forced to be FUNNY, simplifying the tax code, bringing back $1,000,000,000,000 in overseas investment money overnight, and putting the phone company back the way it was in 1983.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
