There are a larger number of MAGA supporters in states that did not vote for him. His focus is more on himself than on his supporters.
Here is an example of why it is more about him than his supporters. Like most normal people, millions of MAGA supporters do not want more criminals on the streets. Yet Trump’s blanket pardon of all those convicted for Jan 6 crimes, regardless of the severity or likelihood of reoffending, is about him. And to no one’s surprise, many have reoffended, committing serious crimes, including child sexual offenses and violent acts. The Jan. 6 Pardons: How Many Clemency Recipients Have Faced Other Charges? | Lawfare At least 97 of the more than 1,500 individuals granted clemency by President Trump for their roles in the January 6 Capitol attack have been arrested for, charged with, or convicted of crimes separate from Jan. 6 since their participation in the Jan. 6 riot. Perhaps most strikingly, five recipients of presidential clemency were arrested in connection with conduct that occurred at least in part subsequent to Trump’s freeing them from prison—meaning that Trump’s clemency order on the first day of his second term may have actively facilitated criminal conduct. These include: Andrew Paul Johnson, who was freed from prison as a result of the pardon in 2025, was convicted of five charges, including child molestation, in February 2026, and sentenced to life in prison. The criminal conduct for which he was convicted took place both before and after his pardon. Zachary Alam, who was convicted of felony charges of grand larceny and burglary just months after his pardon. Ryan Nichols, who was charged with deadly conduct and harassment on May 10, 2026, after allegedly threatening a person with a gun in a church parking lot. The Jan. 6 clemency recipients also include 41 people charged with and/or convicted of violent crimes in the years since Jan. 6. Sex Crimes The cohort also has no shortage of other sex crimes. Four of the Jan. 6 clemency recipients have been charged with possession of child p*rnography, as well as crimes such as online solicitation of a 15 year old, secretly filming naked women in tanning beds, and sending explicit images to a 13 year old online.
