Trump pardons late boxer Jack Johnson

Good for him. It was the right thing to do. Slick Willie could have done it. Idiot Obama could have done it. But Trump did it.

I am not sure that it was the right thing to do. One of Johnson’s wives (he married three times) was a prostitute and he provided money to one of his intimates which was used to establish a brothel.

The Mann Act charges may have been appropriate given his conduct.
