The meme circulating online looks like it’s from the White House Pardon Attorney’s Office and says President Trump is considering pardoning people that stormed the Capitol.
The social media post says POTUS is seriously considering PARDONING all of the patriots in the next week and a half. If you would like a pardon, please respond below. It then asks for the rioter s name, city and even what crimes you think you need to be pardoned for, asking for them by Tuesday so the President can get to work.

But according to the Office of the Pardon Attorney s website, that s not how this works. They help Presidents exercise their executive clemency powers involving federal criminal offenses, and no, they aren t asking for any sort of massive online form.

When, seemingly out of nowhere, famed New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne, who was born Dwayne Carter, took to Twitter a week before the November election to endorse President Donald Trump, many of his fans were blindsided.
“President Carter with President Trump,” read the boastful tweet above an image of the two side by side giving the thumbs-up. The next day at an event outside the White House, Trump described Wayne as “an activist in a really positive way.”

When, seemingly out of nowhere, famed New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne, who was born Dwayne Carter, took to Twitter a week before the November election to endorse President Trump, many of his fans were blindsided.

Had Wayne pulled a Kanye and gone MAGA? Was a Weezy ’24 campaign in the offing? Nope. Behind the scenes, the 38-year-old rapper was facing a possible 10-year prison term on gun charges stemming from a December 2019 incident in Miami, and the post appears to be the first piece of a multistage effort to win the president’s favor. The end game? A presidential pardon.
