Trump Pardoned Tax Cheat After Mother Attended $1 Million Dinner
Less than three weeks after she attended the dinner, Mr. Trump signed a full and unconditional pardon.
It came just in the nick of time for Mr. Walczak, sparing him from having to pay nearly $4.4 million in restitution and from reporting to prison for an 18-month sentence that had been handed down just 12 days earlier. A judge had justified the incarceration by declaring that there “is not a get-out-of-jail-free card” for the rich.
Trump’s memecoin, the Qatari jet, now this… How can Trumpets justify such blatant, unabashed, shameless corruption?
“But but but…the Biden Crime Family!” they sputter, spittle flying from their lips.
The obvious truth is that most Trumpets have no regard for integrity or any interest in fighting corruption. They’ll just point to Biden or the nearest Democrat and say, “but look what they did six years ago! It was just as bad!”
Occasionally, they are right. But not very often — they’re unable to parse signal from noise. Of course some Democrats are corrupt, and any self-respecting Democrat must acknowledge as much. (But there aren’t many of those left.) But the corruption of Trump is on a scale the United States hasn’t seen before.
The sad truth is we Americans have been groomed into hating the other political party so much that we just stand around pointing fingers saying, “but they got away with it, so why can’t we?” No one has the political courage to call a spade a spade and say enough of this bullshit.
