i'm not going to start a discussion here since i'm very very tired but i do believe that trump is not what he seems or claims to be.
a guy that voted democrat all its life and that was part of hollywood and the media with his gigs and stunts in (home alone,the apprentice,wrestling (which is fake btw) howard stern etc etc
just doesnt change in to a super patriot over might . sorry i didnt bought it in 2016 (yes i voted for him in 2020 but we all knew what was at stake?)actually i feel like an idiot for having fallen for this con in 2020 because our votes didnt do much of a difference... that he did good things. oh yes absolutely but our political system is beyond repair because the corruption is too thicc and wide that one man cannot undo it regardless of his best intentions.
our political parties are bought and paid for and this is a fact that every single american can see now.
what bothers also is that he pardoned alot of criminals, hardcore swindlers and rapists and spies and yet the people that he sent to the capitol that are being jailed werent pardoned or anything like that. for me is pretty hard reconcile this type of behavior.
again, he did do good things but his posterior moves destroyed everything that he build upon.
You have a compelling case and have every right to be suspicious of Trump or any one else. I don't know Trump personally and I can't read his mind. Either can you. So, we are left with our own perceptions.
>"a guy that voted democrat all its life and that was part of hollywood...."
Reagan was also a democrat. I was a democrat at one time in my life. As people become wiser and 'see' what is actually going on, their views change. Forty four years ago it was basically "God and country", but I was a democrat. Today, it is still "God and country", but I have long left the democrat party. Reagan and Trump change their political association too. I know Trump's views on abortion changed after watching a video on what it actually is. My point here is that people are not linear, in which a straight line projection can be made.
I agree with you on a lot of what you stated. In fact, I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my post.

I was troubled by this too. As with everything else happening in politics, I'm left with only speculation. Indeed, Charles Kushner is a criminal swindler. He just happens to be Trump's "way-over-his-head" son-in-law, Jarad Kushner's father. I won't go into my absolute distaste for Jarad's influence, but this again show's us how much of an abscess this kid has on the Trump family. Everything he has done is wrong. And Steve Bannon is right about him. Nevertheless, there may be more to this pardon than its appearance. Charles Kushner is not just a 'lone' swindler con-artist who got caught. He has ties to the underground 'syndicate' and is a power player. There's a lot of 'bitter grapes' about Kushner's conviction and jailing. It so happens it was Chris Christie, former NJ governor that prosecuted this case. The Kushner's are democrats and were part of the machine that run's NYC. As US attorney, Christie received fame for this case and others acts. He made enemies on both sides of the political aisle. Christy betrayed Trump big time in the Trump campaign and transitional team. I believe Christy played a bigger role in the 'Get Trump' campaign and during the Mueller investigation. Could the pardon of Charles Kushner be interpreted as an act of letting the ravaged 'dog' out of the pen? I don't know. I know there is a long simmering bitterness the Kushner's have toward Chris Christy. Is it possible that Trump also recognized this? There's more here than meets the eye.
I don't know about the other pardons. It's this one that stands out to me.
