Trump Pardons Six, Says Biden Administration Persecuted Them
President Trump announced pardons for six people he said were “persecuted by the Biden Administration,” while also praising UFC fighter Justin Gaethje after a visit to the Oval Office. The pardon post framed the case as another example of what Trump calls the “weaponization” of government against ordinary Americans, and the Gaethje message leaned into sports-celebrity imagery and presidential pageantry. Together, the posts show Trump alternating between grievance politics and personal public-relations moments on Truth Social.
Pardons for Six Claiming Biden Persecution
LegalTrump said he had signed pardons for six people he described as having been prosecuted by the Biden administration over “fixing their car.” He portrayed the cases as examples of political persecution and said he was immediately freeing them.
This post fits squarely into Trump’s broader effort to cast himself as the antidote to a politicized justice system. By framing the pardons as relief for ordinary people and linking them to “weaponization” under Biden, he reinforces a core campaign and governing theme: that federal authority has been abused against his supporters and that he alone is willing to reverse it. The message is politically useful because it turns a routine executive action into a symbolic repudiation of the Biden era, while also keeping attention on Trump’s use of presidential power as corrective and retaliatory.
“It is my Great Honor to have just signed Pardons for six people who were persecuted by the Biden Administration”
“I AM SETTING THEM ALL FREE, RIGHT NOW!”
