    That would have blew up this country. Biden should have arrested him for January 6th day one in office, sure. Sentiment was against Trump then. Killing him with government forces would have made him a martyr to all the right’s deep state propaganda.

      Honestly, I think the exact opposite. Biden should have given Trump a full and complete pardon day one in office. Four years of federal and state prosecution did nothing but keep Trump in the news, day in and day out, and make Republicans more and more committed to defending him. All the FBI accomplished was giving Trump four years of free publicity - the most valuable political donation in American history - and guaranteeing Trump would remain the unquestioned leader of the conservative movement.

      And come on, did anyone actually think an American billionaire would ever see the inside of a prison cell? Trump was guaranteed to get off without consequences. Prosecuting him was meaningless from the start.

      You underestimate American complacency. Ordering the military to purge all life at Mar-A-Lago would cause a week of uproar, and then no one would care about it again.
