Trump has even taken out historical #monuments in foreign countries. His #oligrachs attempt to rewrite #history in their own image. Erasing any recognition for black soldiers.

Quote on pardons and corruption by trump

This isn’t forgiveness: it’s instruction. It’s an explicit message to present and future loyalists that when they commit crimes for him, particularly those involving election or financial fraud, they’ll be rewarded rather than punished.
