To date, avid supporters of Trump protested outside the U.S. capitol with many of them subsequently convicted. When Welker brought up Trump pardoning himself when given a chance to be re-elected as president, he instead said that those rioters who were involved in the protest must be the ones worthy of pardoning as some of them were jailed even though they did not enter the premise of the capitol. As for legal woes of forgiving himself, Trump said he had done nothing wrong.
