Trump's tough on drugs, but then pardons Honduras Ex-president.

Did you all miss this? This was a 10 year long investigation and 2-3 year trial process.

Trump washed it all away.

Bribery?

Bet on it.

Corrupt POS should retire in Leavenworth.
Note to MAGA:

Please explain the rationale and contradictions behind these actions to us clueless Leftist/Dem/Libtards.

Also, please explain why you continue to support this motherfucking lawless idiot.

It makes absolutely no sense. I suggest not to waste your time trying to make any sense out of any head scratching nonsensical move made by this bad joke of an administration.

The only thing more ridiculous than many of these moves by Trump are his explanations after the fact that suggest that he has literally lost his fucking mind and needs to be eating Jello in a hospice.

Why are you expecting an explanation from people who don't have any personal convictions or values beyond "anything Trump does is right"?

I’m hearing from me political insiders that Maduro offered to step down for $200 million. Maybe he can use some of the money he got to pardon Hernandez to buy off Maduro.

Trump does nothing that isn’t transactional. Period.

Honduras is just South of Mexico and has been trafficking to the USA for years. BTW: The Southern border with Mexico is closed, thanks in no small part from Trump closing the freak'n door/gate. At the same time, Venezuela has been shipping poisons to the US and is just a tad bit South of Honduras.

Now Trump has 2 inside sources to glean from in collapsing the trafficking of poisons to America and other "dirt" within those stinking cesspools of corruption and Socialism. Whut?!? Ya think he's gonna trust the Deep State CIA?

The obvious question: Why?
To make America safe and great again after 4 years of pResident AutoPen - that's why!

Hat tip to Merriam-Webster:
glean:

To glean is to gather or collect something bit by bit, or in a gradual way. Glean can also be used to mean “to search (something) carefully” and “to find out.”

// Neil has a collection of antique tools gleaned from flea markets and garage sales.

// They spent days gleaning the files for information.

// The police used old-fashioned detective work to glean his whereabouts.
I included the definition for those still struggling with toileting skills.

We can save triangulation for another day.

It could be another Trump thing about Biden. Trump is obsessed with removing every possible thing
about Biden, because he lost to Biden.


Also the Honduran president's family wrote a letter which seemed to influence a lot of Trump's inner circle.
Bribery?

Bet on it.

The article says Juan Orlando Hernández was convicted in March 2024 for forty five years. Trump says he is going to pardon him because he was treated unfairly.

Either Trump is delusional or there is major corruption occurring. Or possibly both. It wouldn’t surprise me if Trump is being manipulated by someone in his inner circle to make things happen.
