Funny, Trump has no authority over Biden's pardons and passed bills. He can say anything, but he lacks legal standing to affect things other than executive orders.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

But he gave a royal decree.
You're saying things that Trump doesn't care about. Hes just going to do it.
No. I'm saying reality does not care what he says unless he actually has power over it. And here he doesn't, so reality will keep on going just as it is.
He's the dictator of the world's most powerful country. There's few things he doesn't have power over.
...until the Supreme Court allows it
I mean, we got a American citizen that got accidently deported and still haven't returned home regardless what any judge have said.
Are you new. Reality is what anyone makes it and nobody says no to Trump.
As noted in CNN’s reporting of the Truth Social post, the legality of such a decision remains unclear.
Does it exist as anything other than a post on social media? Because those aren't legally binding.
That was always allowed, even for the non-autopen ones. In fact, I think lots of people are surprised it hasn't happened sooner.
The whole point of an EO is that it's supposed to be just a policy, not a law. The next government coming in can just cancel all these policies and institute new ones.
I think it comes down to what he means by order. Does he mean explicitly executive orders? Or does he mean “literally anything Biden ever signed with autopen”?
Did he declare it?
What remaining Biden EOs are worth a damn?
Wasting even more tax dollars in courts doing something blatantly illegal.
Biden issued a number of pardons via EO.
If you get pardoned but the pardon got repealed, is that a pardoff?
