Trump = Hypocritical jerk!

 Hernandez pardon proves Trump doesn’t care about drugs

Re: “Former Honduran president is freed,” Dec. 3 news story

President Trump’s pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez demonstrates that the administration’s efforts to stem the flow of illegal drugs into the country are a sham.

Hernandez was convicted for enabling hundreds of tons of cocaine to be smuggled into the U.S., causing untold damage. He served less than 18 months of his 45-year sentence and is now free. At the same time, the U.S. has blown up at least 21 boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, and killed about 83 people for allegedly trying to smuggle drugs into the United States. The government has provided no evidence these boats were carrying drugs, nor that their intended destination was the U.S.

If the administration wants to convince the American people that the boats are actually carrying illegal cargo, why not interdict them, and exhibit the evidence to show the effort is having the intended effect, rather than killing all on abroad extrajudicially?

Not sure why,

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?
