Don't be fooled - Trump cut a deal with the Libertarian Party promising he would do this if he won the election. It seems that yet again, he can conceive of no morality greater than transactionalism.

How does that fool people? It sounds like you're scared that some people may consider his pardon to be semi-good & it bothers you that he might be capable of some good too?
