Character Counts

There is a sign on the White House... "For Sale Cheap" Trump who is "epitome of corruption" surpasses Tammany Ring and the Tea Pot Dome with the selling of a dinner for his investors for his personal cryptocurrency ventures, particularly the $TRUMP meme coin at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia. Then there is the acceptance a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar!

Then we can take a look at Trump's pardons...

Trump to Pardon Reality-Show Couple Convicted of $36 Million Fraud

The clemency for Todd and Julie Chrisley, the stars of “Chrisley Knows Best,” is Mr. Trump’s latest gift to people he calls victims of a weaponized justice system.

President Trump will fully pardon the reality television stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, who were convicted three years ago of evading taxes and defrauding banks of more than $30 million to support their luxurious lifestyle.

The pardon, announced Tuesday by the White House, is the latest instance of Mr. Trump using his clemency power to settle grievances over what he calls the political weaponization of the justice system. Mr. Trump, in notifying the Chrisleys’ daughter, Savannah, called their treatment “pretty harsh,” as shown in a video clip of their call posted to social media by one of the president’s special assistants, Margo Martin.

He said it was a gross miscarriage of justice, but... New York Magazine in their Intelligencer section wrote,

Are you a convicted criminal who supports Donald Trump but failed to participate in the Capitol riot? Good news: While you missed out on being included in the pardoning of 1,500-plus January 6 defendants at the beginning of his second term, the president is still open to making lower-level supporters’ legal troubles go away — though it may require proof that you tried to sabotage Trump’s political enemies and a ton of money.

Trump celebrated Memorial Day by regaling West Point graduates with his thoughts on “critical race theory” and “trophy wives,” then posting his traditional holiday greeting to the “SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY.” Trump capped it all off by announcing on Monday afternoon that he was pardoning Scott Jenkins, the former sheriff of Culpeper, Virginia:

Then we have a mother who bailed her son out of jail by donating to Trump...

Despite Fago’s efforts to help the Trump campaign, the administration did not jump on her son’s pardon request until she made a large donation that gave her some face time with the president, according to the Times:

Still, weeks went by and no pardon was forthcoming, even as Mr. Trump issued clemency grants to hundreds of other allies.

Then, Ms. Fago was invited to a $1-million-per-person fund-raising dinner last month that promised face-to-face access to Mr. Trump at his private Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Fla.

Less than three weeks after she attended the dinner, Mr. Trump signed a full and unconditional pardon.

So being a Trump supporter isn’t necessarily a “get out of jail free” card, but it may be a “get out of jail for a hefty donation” card.

And of course the spineless Republicans in Congress do nothing other than quake in fear of the King Trump!

Trump puts the corruption during the age of the Robber Baron to shame!
