Troll King T'Rump Issues Pardon to D'Souza
 

"On Thursday, President Trump announced that he is pardoning conservative pundit and author Dinesh D’Souza, who pled guilty in 2014 to violating campaign-finance laws. Unlike other presidents who used their pardon power to correct injustices, Trump has used it almost exclusively to dole out favors to the right wing.
That Trump decided to pardon D’Souza, one of the most despicable and poisonous figures in American public life, is further proof that this president spends a good deal of his time acting like a right-wing Internet troll whose greatest pleasure in life comes from finding ways to Trigger the Libs.
I suspect a lot of the coverage of this decision will be framed as “Trump Pardons Conservative Author,” which will inevitably soft-pedal the rancid bile D’Souza regularly spews into American debate. So we have to be clear about just who D’Souza is. He isn’t just a conservative or a provocateur. He’s a bigot, a liar, a criminal, and a peddler of insane and hateful conspiracy theories." WP

Fringe hack that plead guilty to illegal political funding. Fairly convicted and sentenced.

From your post:

Exactly how would pardoning Martha Stewart and Rod Blagojevich, who are also rumored to be under consideration for pardons, be a "favor to the right wing"?

Also, from the Wapo opinion piece:

...is further proof that this president spends a good deal of his time acting like a right-wing Internet troll whose greatest pleasure in life comes from finding ways to Trigger the Libs.

Nah. I think its just proof that the left is easily triggered by anything this Prez does. :rolleyes:

His rumored pardons are irrelevant for the moment. His pardons of Arpaio and D'Souza are unquestionably political trolling for wingnut support.

Welcome to the Banana Republican Party!

Any explanation other than Trump throwing a few bones to his base and sending signals to Cohen and Manafort isn't remotely credible and you know it. Our disagreement is whether this is a good thing for him to do. You think it's cute and I don't.

Yaaaawn. Go troll someone else. Your shit won't work on me.

Two dangerous precedents Trump will set with his Dinesh D'Souza pardon https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinio...ert-ncna878956

Legit questions don't work on you. Ok, got it. Thanks.
