Trump will pardon this guy if elected.
Remember all the pardons he did
Trump would* pardon this guy IF elected.
Edit: downvoted by Trumpers lol!
How is this substantively different from the original comment?
Would is generally used for future events that will occur under only certain conditions.
At least, I think that's the pedantry that they are going for.
That is correct.
Yes, I'm being pedantic in a way. But Trump won't win, period. He already lost in 2020 while being a sitting president. People wised up. They won't be complacent.
Hoo boy I wish I shared your confidence.
To be honest, I'll feel more confident when that professor, who has been predicting the winner with almost 100% accuracy, announces his predictions.
Edit: some articles report that he said that he'll make a definitive prediction in August.
Will and would are all but interchangeable here. Would only “feels” like it fits better because it’s a hypothetical event, but it’s a cause and effect being talked about. Well, effect and cause but the point stands.
Edit: I’d like to point out that “will” is future tense, and “would” is past tense.
You're of course right.
It's just that I prefer to use "would" because it sounds less.... hopeful?
