He also said everyone coming from Haiti had AIDS and that Nigerian immigrants would never 'go back to their huts' if they came here. It's baffling that anyone would even attempt to argue that Trump's not a racist.
I guess allegiance to the tribe is more important than reality sometimes.

He's now planning on pardoning Martha Stewart and Rod Blagovech.. remember the Illinois governor who tried to sell a vacant senate seat to the highest bidder?
Well, that certainly settles it. /s
This is insane. Pardons to recent convictions that are political in nature to people who pled guilty.
Walsh released a response saying, in part, “[The] pardon of Caspar Weinberger and other Iran-contra defendants undermines the principle that no man is above the law. It demonstrates that powerful people with powerful allies can commit serious crimes in high office—deliberately abusing the public trust without consequence. Weinberger, who faced four felony charges, deserved to be tried by a jury of citizens.” He concluded, “The Iran-contra cover-up, which has continued for more than six years, has now been completed with the pardon of Caspar Weinberger.”
As a malignant narcissist he probably hates basically everyone but he really does appear to have a special hatred for brown people. This is the guy who said he didn't want black people handling his money because they were lazy, after all.
Yup, it is insane. Not really any more insane than when GHWB pardoned the Iran Contra conspirators though. Presidential pardons have long been abused.

GHWB issued those pardons at the end of his term. Political pardons usually work that way. Trump uses pardons as virtue signaling to his base & to the peddlers of right wing conspiracy theory.

Agree...except I'd replace the word "vile" with "vindictive".you should point out that it was Obama's seat that Blagojavich was trying to sell.
The only thing you can predict with Trump, is that if it has anything to do with Obama, he is going to act in the most demonstrably vile way possible.

Why the eff would you pardon Rod Blagojevich?
I think you're making a very fine distinction. Presidential pardons were meant as a check on the judiciary branch but have clearly long been abused for political purposes.
That's all it took. What a fucking buffoon.Obama.
Oh, also it looks like both of these goobers were "Celebrity" Apprentice contestants.
so....yeah.
