Back in the 1950s the two parties were not that far apart. The differences between Truman, Ike weren't big. Then in the 1960s and on, a similar story, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, Bush, even Clinton, were no where near as far apart as today between Trump/Desantis and the democrat candidates, Biden, Kamala, Newsom, Warren, Bernie Sanders, & Buttplug.
A PR stunt dwarfed by the amount of money he grifted from his supporters.

1. 2001: Clinton pardons Marc Rich
In his most controversial final-day pardon, Clinton pardoned billionaire fugitive Marc Rich after his ex-wife, Denise Rich, lavishly donated to Democrats.
Federal prosecutor Mary Jo White was appointed to investigate the pardon of Marc Rich. She was later replaced by Republican James Comey, who found no illegality on Clinton's part.[5]Marc Rich (born Marcell David Reich; December 18, 1934 – June 26, 2013) was an international commodities trader, hedge fundmanager, financier, businessman, and alleged financial criminal.
He founded the commodities company Glencore, and was later indicted in the United States on federal charges of tax evasion, wire fraud, racketeering, and making oil deals with Iran during the Iran hostage crisis.
He fled to Switzerland at the time of the indictment and never returned to the United States.[1]
He received a widely criticized presidential pardon from U.S. President Bill Clinton on January 20, 2001, Clinton's last day in office; Rich's ex-wife Denise had made large donations to the Democratic Party
"Equivalency" Clinton took payments from Rich...criminal behavior on Clinton's part!

Yes, and there are plenty of other examples. Just his remain in Mexico deal he negotiated with Mexico would cover his salary for all the fentanyl deaths that prevented at the time, and the human trafficking and all the others ills that some Democratic mayors are suddenly realizing come with open borders.I agree I didn't like Trump personally... But..
Only 2 other presidents donated their salaries as Trump did.
Only 1 president had USA energy independent since 1957!
Trump had nearly $1 Trillion that was reinvested in the USA economy
Corporations have brought back more than $1 trillion of overseas profits to the U.S. since Congress overhauled the international tax system and prodded companies to repatriate offshore funds, a Thursday report showed.
And these are just a few.
U.S. companies have repatriated $1 trillion since tax overhaul
That's still short of the $4 trillion in overseas profits that President Trump would return as a result of the 2017 tax law.www.latimes.com
I don’t know who Denise is, but this is a good time for a brief off-topic comment.
You can try to put lipstick on a pig, but its still a pig...
I agree 100%!!! I've had AHOLE bosses like Trump. Pompous. Braggards. BUT they get things done! They all respect America and Americans. They respect law and authority. They love their families. And they are like Trump successful because they don't stand for bullshit!
That "attractive woman" is Denise Rich. The post I was replying to listed the Marc Rich pardon as the most controversial. Denise met with Bubba several times to "negotiate" the pardon.
If it were me those negotiations would have lasted until the day before I left office.
By that logic Trump committed no crimes either.
What is your proof it is corrupt?
Why am I not surprised you would believe your lying eyes and ears? Poor Dr. Birx, she looked like she was about to piss her pants, but she was actually so embarrassed, she didn't know how to react. Trump was/is a walking idiot box.
I know of none, other than he had enough sense, to not stop the forward momentum of the Obama economy he called his. Other than that, Trump spent his four years there as a grifter.
Then do it. What are you waiting for?
Nope.
