Wow, perhaps Trump really did see the hand of G-d when that hand protected him.
This is real leadership, being a bigger man and pardoning a young man who made some mistakes and even cursed at him in a song in 2017.
Imagine a conservative in the past selecting a V.P who admitted he was raised in poverty and his mother had a drug problem? Imagine pardoning a guy like this?
He pardoned a young man who lived in a difficult world but difficult life and the police basically treated him like a terrorist, giving him a gun charge for a gun on the set of a video. This is how cops in Canada operate not in the U.S.
Trump is literally saving lives, both in wars around the world and giving Americans who made mistakes a second chance. G-d had to have touched him in Pennsylvania.

The Louisiana rapper who was pardoned by President Donald Trump once said "F--- Donald Trump" in a 2017 song.
NBA YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden, has been thanking Trump for the reprieve, writing in a recent Instagram post that the president is "giving me the opportunity to keep building -- as a man, as a father, and as an artist."
However, in his song "Red Rum," the 25-year-old Gaulden once rapped "And f--- Donald Trump b----, that NBA s---."
Pardon czar Alice Marie Johnson was asked about the remark during an appearance on "Fox & Friends" earlier this morning.
"So a couple of rappers have come out or let’s say one in particular -- YoungBoy. One of his lyrics in 2017 that he put out is "F Donald Trump" and some more disparaging things to say. He had a violent past of assault and battery. Multiple cases of that, and firearm, drug and fraud charges. What sold you on him getting a second chance?" co-host Brian Kilmeade asked her.
"I looked at the age and how this young man grew up. He grew up in a very impoverished neighborhood. And the things that he had to face, NBA YoungBoy growing up. Most of those were gun charges without the guns being discharged," she said.
"But I also looked at what happened to him on a set where he was filming a video and he had a prop in the set. That’s really where this came from. He didn’t come out of prison. He was given a pardon so he could have a new beginning. And the officers who in this particular case they came at him as though he was a terrorist and he was on a set, filming for a video. They gave him a gun charge for that... the officers who did this were all investigated and fired. So I look at the elements of what happened to this young man," Johnson added.
Last year, Gaulden was sentenced by a federal judge in Utah after he acknowledged possessing weapons despite being a convicted felon. However, he reached an agreement that resolved Utah state charges against him and settled two sets of federal charges against him -- one carried a 23-month sentence and the other ordered five years of probation and a $200,000 fine.
