I’ll watch this.
I appreciate that the fellow who asked the question did not interrupt Trump, or try to disrupt him.
Excellent answer, Mr. President!
I listened to the press conference live on the radio. John Roberts asked why POTUS pardoned Sheriff Joe on Friday during the hurricane. (@sshat!). DJT was ready, BURIED the press with facts and especially the disgraceful pardons by Clinton and Obama. He hit a grand slam home run, it was awesome.
That said moderate Republican in your example wouldn’t have pardoned Joe to begin with.
He buried John Roberts... Next question, morons!
Way to go! Throw it right back in their sanctimonious faces.
I have heard a couple of self-described Republicans speak wistfully of getting Trump out that way. Both are retired college professors. One has a very liberal wife; I'm not sure why the other one is so anti-Trump.
That was fantastic, President Trump out foxed John Roberts with facts.
Go, President Trump! MAGA!
That was awesome!!
It’s good he went over the crooked pardon of his past presidents but he needed more details about Joe. It was clearly a politally motivated prosecution to punish a man enforcing laws which Obama did not and would not enforce. The power to pardon was given to Presidents for precisely this remedy of abuse of judical and political power .
Saw it live.
Instant classic.
I don’t think he burried any one or handed them their butt.
He answered a question many have been asking in a detailed manner.
The room does seem a bit more civil but this question to me was not a big deal.
The response was planned and welcomed
I love Trump - all my life I’ve waited for someone to put the press in their place ...
From Wiki:
“Clinton’s critics alleged that Rich’s pardon had been bought, as Denise Rich had given more than $1 million to Clinton’s political party (the Democratic Party), including more than $100,000 to the Senate campaign of the president’s wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and $450,000 to the Clinton Library foundation during Clinton’s time in office.”
Net proceeds >$1.55M for the Clintons and their RAT party.
The cocaine dealer was my favorite Clinton pardon.
Excellent! Thanks so much for posting this.
So Trump defends his own abuse of the process by listing the abuses of Obama and Clinton? What sense does that make?
And he didn't bother to answer the report's question which was completely valid.
It’s good he went over the crooked pardons of past presidents but he needed more details about Joes’ pardon. It was clearly a politally motivated prosecution meant to punish a man enforcing laws which Obama refused to enforce. The power to pardon was given to Presidents for precisely this remedy of abuse of power like this.
