Don't be fooled - Trump cut a deal with the Libertarian Party promising he would do this if he won the election. It seems that yet again, he can conceive of no morality greater than transactionalism.

Compromising with voters? What a violation of politician ethics. Democrats would never to that

Democrats: My way or the highway! Fall in line and support what we tell you to. This is how you're supposed to feel about these issues.

Trump: Lets make a deal. You vote for me and I'll do XYZ for you.

How does that fool people? It sounds like you're scared that some people may consider his pardon to be semi-good & it bothers you that he might be capable of some good too?

They can't think like that. Trump has to be hated so he can only do bad things.

Well now I’m wondering who this could fool and how…

Fooled by what?

But he won the election, why does he have to keep his word to the libertarian party? What are they gonna do if he doesn’t follow through?
