The Rest Is Politics · 552. Trump's Red Card Saga and Germany's Far-Right Machine · 8 Jul 2026 podcast

Even his own vice president said he should only pardon the nonviolent ones.

Trump said, F it, pardon them all, right, according to Axios.

And he pardoned everyone.

So this is the abuse of the pardon power.

He's pardoned people who have donated to his campaign.

He's pardoned friends of his.

He's pardoned people he doesn't know, but who have business links with friends he does know.

And then when he's asked about it, to go back to the point you and I raised earlier about why don't people ask you about the red card, about him not knowing about football.

When he was asked about the Binance guy, the crypto guy who he pardoned from China, I forget his name.

Trump said, guess what?

I don't know the guy.

I don't know anything about the case.

Isn't it funny that it's crypto that's at the forefront of the corruption allegations against Donald Trump and Nigel Farage?

I saw that.

That was in Nick Kristof's piece, I think, the former NATO chief.

I interviewed Jonathan recently about it.
