President Trump's Pardons: An Embarrassment of Riches​

Cato Institute
https://www.cato.org › Cato at Liberty




Feb 11, 2026 — In other words, even putting aside the rioters' collective pardon, Trump is now issuing pardons at eight times the rate Biden did.

For instance, the ordinary vetting procedures of the Office of the Pardon Attorney have often been sidestepped. Formality in pardon deliberation is desirable because it immunizes the president from the appearance of pay-to-play; the absence of such formality makes it plausible that a multitude of recent pardons are transactional. Trump pardoned Paul Walczak (who evaded millions of dollars in taxes) after Walczak’s mother raised millions of dollars for MAGA candidates and paid a million dollars to dine with the president at Mar-a-Lago. Trevor Milton—the securities fraudster mentioned above—donated $1.8 million to Trump’s campaign before a presidential pardon wiped out all $660 million of his restitution obligations. (That is, if nothing else, an impressive ROI.)

Before Trump pardoned Changpeng Zhao—who headed the cryptocurrency exchange Binance while it fostered more than 1.5 million illegal virtual trades as well as prohibited transactions to Al Qaeda, Isis, and Hamas—Zhao had brokered a $2 billion investment in Eric and Donald Trump. Jr.’s cryptocurrency business, World Liberty Financial. (When asked about Zhao in a subsequent 60 Minutes interview, Trump explained, “I have no idea who he is. I was told that he was a victim, just like I was and just like many other people, of a vicious, horrible group of people in the Biden administration.”

The Trump Administration’s Rampant Pay-to-Play Corruption Threatens Our Democracy

3/4/26
Since returning to the White House in January 2025, President Donald Trump has made it abundantly clear that his administration offers a wide range of benefits to those with pockets deep enough to pay the price of admission. More than any president in recent history, Trump caters to the wealthiest and most powerful—billionaires, CEOs of major corporations, the extremely well-heeled and well-connected—as long as they are willing to pay for the privilege. Trump has taken “pay to play” to an entirely new level. Unless key reforms are passed, this corrupt political culture will likely also have an insidious, longer-term cost: Americans losing faith in their democracy.

Comparatively, the Trump regime makes Ukraine look squeeky-clean.

Following his return to office in January 2025, the second Trump administration has initiated a broad, "all-of-government" effort to roll back protections for the LGBTQ+ community, with a particular focus on transgender, non-binary, and intersex individuals.

• Federal Definition of Sex: On his first day back in office (Jan 20, 2025), Trump signed an executive order defining "sex" as an immutable biological classification (male or female) determined at conception, effectively erasing federal recognition of transgender and non-binary individuals.
• Targeting Transgender Healthcare: The administration has moved to ban gender-affirming care for individuals under 19 in federal health programs (Medicare, Medicaid) and cut funding for hospitals that provide such care. This includes issuing subpoenas to over 20 hospitals for medical records of patients under 19.
• Transgender Military Ban: Reinstated a ban on transgender individuals serving in the military, with orders to discharge current personnel.
• Passports and ID Documents: The State Department, following a Supreme Court ruling allowing the policy to move forward, has stopped issuing new or renewed passports with "X" gender markers or markers that do not align with the sex assigned at birth.
• School and Education Policies: Directed federal agencies to block funding for schools that support social transitions (e.g., using preferred pronouns or names) and removed protections for LGBTQ+ youth in foster care.
• Censorship and Data Removal: Removed references to LGBTQ+ issues and "gender ideology" from various government websites, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Park Service's Stonewall National Monument site.
• Housing and Safety: Rolled back rules that provided LGBTQ+ people, particularly transgender women, access to homeless shelters, often directing they be placed in facilities that match their sex assigned at birth.
  

These actions have prompted numerous legal challenges from civil rights groups and some states, with lawsuits targeting the ban on gender-affirming care and the restriction of passport gender markers

And this affects you how? There are men, women and faggots who can be men or women.

Tell us of your tales of woe that we might weep together.

Above is one example of how market investors are using Trump's public statements on the Iran War to game the system and make fabulous profits.

In other words, you make foolish decisions and lose money based on left-wing propaganda?

I'll remind everyone that Donald Trump was already a convicted felon on January 20, 2025. Unanimously convicted of 34 counts of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree. Trump was also found liable for Defamation and Sexual Abuse in the E. Jean Carroll trial and ordered to pay her $88.3 million in damages. Impeached twice. No other former US president can "claim" such a stellar criminal vitae. In Trump II, corruption and graft are routine and becoming normalized. Woe is the Republic.

Corrupt convictions are meaningless to thinking people.....which leaves you out.

Alvin Bragg comes to mind.

Out to get Trump; at any cost.

However you want to justify supporting a convicted criminal is your business.

The midterms will be a timely referendum on the prevailing reality.

Trump was "convicted" in a kangaroo court more out of a Kafka essay than a US Court.

It is the most egregious case of prosecutorial fraud, and a miscarriage of justice, and we all saw it, and recognized it for what it was.

Lawfare, writ large.

That's why we elected Trump again.

To counter you fascists.

“I fear our regulators have ushered in a climate where people feel free to do anything they want,” Ben Schiffrin told Newsweek.

This is not a one-off. I don't believe in coincidence. It appears that Donald Trump is purposefully manipulating the future's markets via the timing of his TS posts.

Yes, he's obsessed with money, and seems to think rich people are superior, and so should be helped to be richer.

Maybe "the someone—we’ll probably never know who" was Paul Pelosi. Who knows. We'll never know for sure.
