    List of Pardons by Trump:


    - Alex Adjmi: Adjmi was granted a full pardon. The White House said Adjmi was convicted of a financial crime in 1996 and served 5 years in prison.

    - Michael Ashley: Ashley was convicted for bank fraud over the 2009 collapse of mortgage company Lend America and sentenced to 3 years in prison in 2019. He was the executive vice president and chief business strategist with the company. Ashley was ordered to pay $49 million in restitution and $800,000 in forfeiture. His sentence was commuted.

    - Stephen K. Bannon: Trump's former chief strategist in the White House was in charge of the final months of his 2016 presidential campaign and was indicted in August along with three others on wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy charges. Prosecutors alleged that Bannon’s crowdfunding “We Build the Wall” campaign raised more than $25 million from Trump supporters and used hundreds of thousands for personal expenses. He was taken into custody by U.S. Postal Inspection Service agents while on board the yacht of Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui. Bannon received a full pardon and now will not have to face a trial.

    - Dr. Faustino Bernadett: Bernadett, a retired anesthesiologist, was sentenced last year to 15 months in federal prison for taking part in a long-running health care fraud scheme where he authorized sham contracts that concealed over $30 million in illegal kickback payments to physicians, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The overall scheme resulted in more than $900 million in fraudulent bills being submitted, the office said. The White House said Bernadett has spent the past year “devoted to helping protect his community from Covid-19.” He received a full pardon.

    - Carl Andrews Boggs: Trump granted a full pardon to Carl Andrews Boggs. In 2014, Boggs pleaded guilty to federal charges stemming from a criminal investigation into the illegal use of a disadvantaged business enterprise to obtain government-funded construction contracts.

    - Kwame Kilpatrick: The former mayor of Detroit had his 28-year sentence commuted. He pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice and resigned from office as part of a plea deal in 2008 following a pay-to-play scheme in which Kilpatrick and his father took kickbacks and bribes to steer city business to certain contractors. He initially served 99 days in prison but then served an additional year for violating his probation and was released in 2011.

    - Salomon Melgen: Trump commuted the prison sentence of Melgen, an eye doctor and major Democratic donor convicted of defrauding Medicare patients. He stood trial with New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, who lobbied Trump for Melgen's case.

    - Rick Renzi: Former U.S. Rep. Rick Renzi, R-Ariz., was granted a full pardon. In 2013, he was sentenced to three years in prison for extortion, bribery, insurance fraud, money laundering and racketeering in a public corruption case. He had served three terms in the House.

    - Aviem Sella: An Israeli citizen, Sella was indicted in March 1987 on charges he recruited convicted American spy Jonathan Jay Pollard to collect U.S. military secrets for Israel.

    Trump Doesn’t Deserve A Second Term For How He Mismanaged Covid

    The Federalist
    By: Georgi Boorman - August 18, 2023


    If we truly want to safeguard our freedoms and our republic, it’s critical we remember what really happened in 2020.

    Donald J. Trump currently faces unfair indictments that threaten the future of this republic by establishing judicial persecution as a way to keep political opponents out of office. If Trump becomes our nominee, millions of Americans will vote for him no matter what happens in court. They might see voting for him as necessary to send the message that this kind of persecution cannot be tolerated, but the record speaks for itself: Trump in no way deserves a second term.

    Most of us are trying to move on from the Covid era and allow those traumatic memories to slip into the blurry past, but if we truly want to safeguard our freedoms and our republic, it’s critical we remember what really happened in 2020. President Trump played a key role in allowing us to be stripped of our freedoms and, through championing Operation Warp Speed, to be later subjected to draconian vaccine mandates during the Biden administration.

    On March 16, 2020, Trump gave a press conference with Anthony Fauci and White House Covid Coordinator Deborah Birx that precipitated a cascade of supposedly state-led lockdowns. “My administration is recommending that all Americans, including the young and healthy, work to engage in schooling from home when possible, avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 people,” Trump said.

    Then Anthony Fauci read the fine print on the two-page flyer of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance handed out at the conference and available online to every American. That fine print, which Trump may or may not have read (either way, it was his responsibility), prompted almost all states to lock down: closing businesses, churches, schools, denying social contact for seniors in long-term living, canceling weddings and funerals, and giving critical cover to inhumane hospital policies that forced people to die alone.

    This set of “recommendations” was the perfect system of political CYA — one which Trump should have seen coming: The states could blame the CDC for demanding lockdowns, and the CDC could deny they ever “mandated” any lockdowns and claim it was purely the states’ decision. Showing the potency of the CDC’s lockdown guidelines, Fauci, as the Trump administration’s key media spokesman on Covid at the time, admitted that a “national stay-at-home order” is “essentially what it is.”

    Fauci, Birx, and the CDC supported months more restrictions on basic liberties, long after Trump had changed his mind and demanded that America reopen. In June of 2020, he was bragging about what a great job he’d done on Covid while nursing home residents were still suffering in isolation, a third of small businesses across the nation had already been shuttered, and children as young as 2 were being forced to wear masks in the summer heat — masks Trump’s CDC demanded Americans wear. He also flip-flopped on reopening schools the following month, saying some may need to delay reopening, despite Covid not posing a substantial threat to children.

    Trump himself made extended lockdowns possible by signing the CARES Act, which doled out $300 billion in paychecks for sitting at home and paid far more to businesses not to operate but keep employees on the books. Without CARES funds, the state could not afford to keep the country locked down. They would have had no choice but to begrudge people their basic rights to work, consume, and travel. Now, the profligate spending of the federal government during Trump and Biden’s terms has contributed to the inflation-straining family budgets today.

    CARES also granted $400 million to encourage a Covid-conscious 2020 election via mail-in voting, leading to a number of problems with election security and integrity. His administration also shut down the cruise industry and severely curtailed international tourism after Covid was already known to be widespread within the states.

    To his credit, Trump did change his mind. On May 18, he tweeted “REOPEN OUR COUNTRY.” (It appears it was then deleted.) He would later stand on a White House balcony and remove his facemask after returning from treatment for Covid. But it was too little too late, and this machine of panic and oppression he set in motion could no longer be controlled.

    What’s more, once the first Covid shots became available, Trump, who had already been infected and recovered, chose to take them. His contribution to the serious misinformation campaign against the protection of natural immunity can’t be understated. Millions of people who had already had Covid followed his lead and got the jab, which proved to be the least safe, least effective modern vaccine ever to be mass-injected.

    Of the three vaccines Trump’s government authorized, one, the Janssen shot, was quickly discouraged from use due to risk of dangerous blood clotting. The other two, from Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech, began showing evidence of causing myocarditis just months after launch — and this was only one kind of adverse event that the government would admit was causally related to the vaccines. Many more adverse effects are hotly disputed today, but the government’s surveillance system, VAERS, has taken in a record-shattering number of adverse-event reports for Covid shots compared to other vaccines. Though VAERS reports are unverified, the largest percentages of reports are typically submitted by health care professionals (38 percent) and vaccine manufacturers (30 percent). The system exists to generate “safety signal detection.”

    Excess mortality in 2021, the year of mass vaccination with the products Trump championed, was even greater than in 2020. If the jabs, which nearly everyone deemed “vulnerable” took early that year, “saved millions of lives,” as Trump has claimed, how can this staggering rise in mortality be explained? Overdose deaths increased by 31 percent, a tragedy inseparable from lockdown fallout, yet only accountable for a small portion of the approximately 443,000 deaths over the expected number. Even deaths coded as “Covid” were at or above 2020 levels through most of 2021. Trump was simply wrong, and the fallout from the Covid shots he was so proud for the government to produce hand-in-glove with corporations with spotty track records and non-existent ones (Spikevax was Moderna’s first commercially available product) is still being felt.

    The injections’ speedy FDA authorization, which happened on Trump’s watch, and the promotion by members of his administration as “safe and effective” later paved the way for strict mandates by employers, including city and state governments and the U.S. military. The Biden administration’s attempt to force as many Americans as possible to take the experimental products wouldn’t have been possible had Trump not greenlighted Operation Warp Speed.

    Trump’s biggest indictment is that what control he did have, even after dissenting from Fauci and Birx, he refused to exercise. Defenders say moves like firing Fauci, Birx, and extreme mask-promoter Redfield wouldn’t have meant much because the mass hysteria had already set in. But it would have meant everything to people hurt by Covid policies; it would have shown prudence, conviction, and a willingness to learn from his errors. He deserves to be commended for hiring Dr. Scott Atlas, who promoted reopening schools. But he also kept key Covid panic-pushers on board until he left office, and indeed said he didn’t get enough credit for Fauci’s work on Covid.

    For those of us who are willing to remember Trump’s actions during 2020, pleas that Trump “wanted to reopen the country” ring hollow. We went through the Covid nightmare because Trump led us into it, empowering tyrants at all levels of government to strip us of our liberties. He has not apologized, and said “we did the right thing.” He took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and he broke it. Any Democrat put in the White House is sure to oppress the people to an even greater extent, but primary voters must take Trump’s pivotal mistakes during Covid into account, no matter their feelings on the indictments or the 2020 election. Trump can’t be trusted with a second term.

    - Trump rails against GOP congressman who signaled support for forcing roll-call vote on coronavirus stimulus deal

    March 27, 2020

    (CNN)President Donald Trump suggested that a Republican congressman be unseated for potentially jeopardizing the passage of the $2 trillion stimulus package, which will provide Americans economic relief amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    In an attack against a member of his own party, Trump called Rep. Thomas Massie a "third rate Grandstander" and claimed the Kentucky Republican "just wants the publicity" after threatening a roll-call vote, which would require members travel back to the US Capitol to vote in person...

    ...He added, "WIN BACK HOUSE, but throw Massie out of Republican Party!"...

    - President Trump promised in the 2016 campaign to eliminate the federal debt over a two-term presidency. That pledge won't come to fruition, and, in fact, he will leave office having added massively to the debt.

    “His tenure has been marked by a total disregard for any concern about mounting debt", said Jim Capretta, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a right-leaning think tank in Washington, D.C.

    When Trump was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2017, the total national debt was nearly $20 trillion, according to the Treasury Department. It has increased over roughly 30% since, nearly $8 trillion, to $27 trillion, as of Monday.

    For comparison, President Barack Obama added roughly $9 trillion to the national debt during his eight years in office, according to the Treasury Department.

    Before Trump took office, he railed against the debt. Shortly before winning the White House, he likened its high level to a “time bomb.”
    “I will tell you, we are sitting on a time bomb,” he told CBS in June 2016, adding that “I don’t like debt for the country.”

    Trump in 2016 vowed to eliminate the federal debt over an eight-year period. At the time, the federal government's debt was over $19 trillion, and most economists thought Trump's pledge ludicrous.

    To Capretta, Trump’s actions have been fiscally reckless.

    “Trump saw that it would be to his political advantage to be very liberal in terms of spending and tax reductions happening simultaneously,” he said.

    In his first year of entering office, Trump signed into law a tax overhaul bill that added $1.9 trillion to the debt over a 10-year period, according to the Congressional Budget Office, the bookkeeper for Congress.

    He also increased annual spending, by nearly $800 Billion, from $3.85 trillion in 2016 to $4.65 trillion in 2020 (before pandemic relief), according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan organization that examines the spending habits in Washington.

    Then came the federal response to the pandemic, which drained federal coffers by $1.76 Trillion, according to the CBO.

    Obama, too, increased spending to address a crisis, namely the Great Recession. He signed into law the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act," also known as the stimulus, that added $787 billion to the annual deficit. The deficit is the difference between spending and revenues in a given year, while the debt represents accrued deficits.

    Trump signed all of these bills into law without trying to reduce the amount of red ink that he was creating, according to Capretta.
    “He never really pressed any kind of fiscal policy onto Congress,” he said.

    Congress plays an integral role in the tax cuts and spending increases that are enacted into law and could have pressed for more fiscal responsibility in the bills that were passed.

    Meanwhile, the trajectory of the debt is upward, according to the CBO. By the end of 2020, federal debt held by the public is projected to equal 98% of GDP, compared to 79% at the end of 2019 and 35% at the end of 2007.

    - - Trump Escalates Killer Drone War And No One Seems To Care

    The Trump administration has significantly increased the tempo of drone strikes in a number of countries, and it has relaxed the rules governing the targeting of these strikes. The result has been an increased number of civilian casualties with even less accountability than before and no redress for the innocent people caught in the middle of our endless wars.

    The U.S. government restricts the information that is publicly available about these attacks, and that in turn ensures that there is very little public scrutiny or criticism of an open-ended military campaign. To make matters worse, the additional strikes seem to have done nothing to reduce the activities of Al-Shabaab, and instead the threat posed by the group is greater than before.

    The drone war in Somalia is just one part of this campaign, and it exemplifies what is wrong with the open-ended “war on terror.” Like the other wars he inherited, President Trump has significantly escalated it. Through the end of 2019, there had already been 148 U.S. strikes launched in Somalia since Trump took office. In just the first half of 2020, there have been as many U.S. drone strikes in Somalia (40) as there were between 2007 and 2016. In less than three and a half years, Trump has more than quadrupled the number of attacks in Somalia ordered by his last two predecessors. https://www.theamericanconservative....seems-to-care/


    - The Trump Administration First Approved the Sale of Javelins to Ukraine in 2017


    - In 2017, President Donald J. Trump began selling lethal weapons to Ukraine.


    - In 2019, President Trump unilaterally withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, increasing Russian vulnerability to a U.S. first strike.

    “The provocations that the United States and its allies have directed at Russia are policy blunders so serious that, had the situation been reversed, U.S. leaders would long ago have risked nuclear war with Russia.” Abelow concludes that the U.S. government bears significant responsibility for the Ukrainian war.

    The U.S. has escalated its belligerence throughout the war. As Chas Freeman, the former Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, observed: “Everything we are doing, rather than accelerating an end to the fighting and some compromise, seems to be aimed at prolonging the fighting.”

    Col. Douglas Macgregor bitterly condemned the moral bankruptcy, the “shocking vacuum of humanity,” among the White House Neocon strategists who made common cause with Ukraine’s right wing ultranationalists (a polite description of the cohorts) to provoke the proxy war with Russia, sacrificing U.S. money and Ukrainian bodies. https://asiatimes.com/2021/12/neocon...er-in-ukraine/

    - As president, Trump publicly backed raising the minimum age to purchase semi-automatic weapons to 21: https://redstate.com/arbogast/2018/0...fles-21-n85275 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpgk8hecKyc

    - Real estate magnate Donald Trump gave at least $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation while his daughter Ivanka Trump donated between $5,001 and $10,000, the Hill reported. Trump also donated to Hillary Clinton’s New York Senate campaign - http://www.wnd.com/2015/05/abc-news-...IlJIQrKuGvt.99

    - Trump has given $541,650 to federal Democratic candidates and fundraising committees going back to 1990, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics. He's handed out money to Democratic statewide candidates as well. In 2009, for instance, Trump cut a $25,000 check to former Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe for his unsuccessful 2009 Virginia gubernatorial bid. But as Republicans and Tea Party activists nationwide were working to take back the House and Senate in 2010, Trump was also handing out checks to top Democratic incumbents: $4,800 to Reid, $2,000 to Florida Sen. Bill Nelson and more than $8,000 total to New York's two senators, Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand.

    Over the last two decades, Trump gave money to a number of high-profile Democrats and liberal icons, including Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Tom Daschle and Joe Biden. The biggest recipient of Trump's largesse? The scandal-plagued Rangel, who has taken $24,750 from Trump since the 1990 election cycle. - https://dailycaller.com/2015/06/03/d...losi-in-power/

    - Donald Trump predicted Wednesday night that Hillary Clinton will take one more shot at winning the White House in 2016, and declined to rule out the possibility of throwing his support behind the former presidential candidate. “Hillary Clinton, I think, is a terrific woman,” Trump said in an interview with Greta Van Susteren on Fox News. “I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York, she lives in New York, and I’ve known her and her husband for years and I really like them both a lot.”

    Praising the secretary of state for being a hard worker and for having done a “good job” since joining the Obama administration, Trump said he expects Clinton to run for office again.
    “I think assuming she is healthy, which I hope she will be, I think she runs after the next four years, I would imagine,” he said. - http://www.politico.com/news/stories...#ixzz3e5yzzwUv

    Yep. If people knew just what he stood for and media would vet this moron, he would sink. Total opportunist.

    Someone here once posted about the business seminars he runs. How the main point of his expertise relies on using government loopholes and getting government money.

    Total freemarket shill. Total Conservative Shill. Total Liberty shill.

    In this interview, Howard Stern confronts Trump on his social conservatism. Howard has known Donald for years, and is totally baffled by his new pro life, anti gay marriage stances as a Republican candidate. Claiming multiple times "I KNOW you Donald, and you aren't like this on these issues". If you listen to Trump's responses, he tries his best to tell Howard that he doesn't care that much about these issues, although other people feel very strongly about them. What's implied is that he is socially liberal, but can't come off that way if he wants any chance of winning.

    This is a guy who enjoys sleeping around with tons of beautiful girls. He's been divorced twice, and has children by three different women. He's committed infidelity, probably more than anyone realizes.

    How is it possible for such a person to get nominated in the Republican party? How can a reality TV star possibly beat Hillary Clinton?

    - At 2 minutes in, Trump is talking about how he was mad at Schwarzenegger because he wouldn't do him a favor while in office. Pure crony corporatism.

    - 8:30 talks about abortion, then gay marriage. He's not taking a stand either way.

    - The majority of the interview is about which chicks are hot. Standard Howard Stern.

    - Overall general take from Trump: everything is personal. Kiss his ass, play ball with him (in his ballpark, by his rules) he won't attack. Criticize him in any way or deny him a favor, and it's war. Real Presidential material.

    - At 49:00, foreign policy is discussed. North Korea and Iran nukes are the biggest threats.

    "Watch my feet, not my mouth."

    i.e., I am much more interested in what he does than what he says. I'm not all that interested in what he did before POTUS, either.

    If you would like to trim your list down to the direct actions he has taken while in office, I would read it. Otherwise... meh.

    The economy is booming, he's taking immigration seriously, he's getting the US out of BS trade agreements, and he strikes me as genuinely interested in helping ALL Americans. That's good enough for me.

    Oh, and he might be the hardest working President in recent history for sure.

    I will not argue, the facts speak for themselves. I will end here saying that you are in denial:

    As president, Trump endorsed USMCA (NAFTA 2.0) which "forces" U.S. UNIONISM on Mexico, and demands all three countries to abide by the International Labour Organization (ILO) standards among other ANTI Free Trade initiatives.

    Build a WALL at a cost of +$25 BILLION. BIOMETRICS at a cost of +$25 BILLION. But has not and will not End the Welfare. NOR will he speak to the people about OR HALT the TSA from DOMESTICALLY tracking all people, Air, Sea and Land.

    And now I will enjoy my day as some of you keep saying "May I please have more".

    I would say you're expecting way too much from a POTUS that's been in office only 2 years and has the entire Establishment working against him.

    Rome wasn't built in a day, and it won't be dismantled in a day.

    I still say that I will support him as long as the right people are opposing him - namely, MSM, SJW's, Hollywood libtards, entrenched politicians and large swaths of subsidized big business.

    I voted for him in 2016 as a disrupter, and if held today would vote for him again as a git-er-done-er.

    Trump defends $25 million in Kennedy Center funding in coronavirus stimulus


    By Brett Samuels - 03/25/20
    President Trump on Wednesday defended the inclusion of $25 million in funding for the Kennedy Center as part of the massive economic relief bill aimed at boosting small businesses and workers harmed by the fallout of the coronavirus.

    Trump fashioned himself a supporter of the arts, arguing that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is deserving of assistance given its inability to put on shows as officials ban large gatherings to try to curb the spread of the virus.
    "I’m a fan of that," Trump said of the funding. "I haven’t spent time there because I’m far too busy. I’d love to go there evenings, but I’m too busy doing things."

    Politics, especially electoral politics, will never actually solve any problems. It in fact makes them worse. But since there will always br a large number of decent people seeking liberty who cannot see past politics to other solutions, it would at least behoove them to engage in the most effective strategies and tactics when they engage in politics. Unfortunately, with just a few exceptions over the decades, they almost never do.

    Lesser of two evils is always ineffective and counterproductive. Always.

    I doubt Biden had the brains to start up another Federal Agency (Operation Warp Speed), and employed Gates’ stooges to boot. And if he did try it, I doubt the “R’s” would be in favor or allow it to happen.

    And the astronomical debt Trump incurred in just 4 short years? Even Obummer didn’t come close in 8 long years.
