> "the president can grant a pardon to a person who was convicted in a united states district court, the superior court of the district of columbia, or a military court-martial. a pardon is an expression of forgiveness and can help eliminate some of the consequences of a conviction." trump should just say that it doesn't count because they weren't convicted. if they try to say: "but muh one time before this ever happened!" he can just say it was a symbolic pardon for a former president and wasn't legally binding.
