Paying minors for sex is hard time in prison. If evidence of such a thing became public the DOJ would essentially be forced to prosecute him. Right now they can just ignore it. Which they prefer to do because they like being employed.
Hard to compare the actions of a pedophile and the Russian asset he pardoned before. But yeah, one might look worse to the public. Not like he needs to care about what the public thinks anymore.
Nah, just has to have the media to sell it so there are a million angry peasants to counter those million peasants, and most of them not able to see how they would be able to feed themselves in a week if anything actually happened.
Yeah and if I’m mad it’s not at you. The reason though that countering one crowd with another doesn’t work is that all you’ve done is create a civil war at that point. The idea for any leader is to avoid a crisis of legitimacy so bad that you have to deal with an angry mob in the first place.

Is it hard time in prison though? He trafficked them across state lines, meaning it goes to a federal court which makes it eligible for pardon
I could be wrong, but I thought it went federal soon as it crosses the border
A pardon for actual pedophilia might just be too much, even for Trump.

Even dictators have to care. There isn’t a military in the world that can stop a million angry peasants.

Edit: Sorry, just being contrary today it seems.
