So Pizza Gaetz apparently asked the Trump admin for a preemptive pardon before Trump left office. 
Now Trump is saying Gaetz never asked him for a pardon.
Which is a lot of stupid to unpack. First, Gaetz did not ask Trump directly, it’s reported he asked admin members, and Trump was aware.
So here we have Trump seemingly reacting to something he doesn’t even need to react to, I assume because he saw the stuff about Gaetz asking and thought it implicated him somehow?
As a result, Trump now seems to be defending Gaetz , and it’s going to come out anyway that Trump knew about the request. So he’s going to come off as a liar too, just because of his sense of need to react to something he doesn’t need to. Because Gaetz was denied a blanket pardon, and Trump and his admin didn’t even know the reason he was asking for one.
My god, what a maroon.
