Interesting about the pardon. He has the chance to do so for both himself and his family but was advised against it due to being on legally shaky ground. As much as he loves to play fast and loose with the law and lawsuits, I am surprised that he took that advice. But that might strengthen your argument about the dynasty.

I hope I am wrong too.
But Trump's hope for individual wealth, a pardon for himself, and various other things... would all improve if he could create a family dynasty and re-cast himself as the patriarch and source of power and wealth for it.
Of course I think that's deranged. But that's also why I think it's possible.
