Why did you pardon him?  PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Okay, are you ready? I don't know who he is. I know he got a four-month sentence or something like that. And I heard it was a Biden witch hunt. And what I wanna do is see crypto, 'cause if we don't do it it's gonna go to China, it's gonna go to-- this is no different to me than AI.  My sons are involved in crypto much more than I-- me. I-- I know very little about it, other than one thing. It's a huge industry. And if we're not gonna be the head of it, China, Japan, or someplace else is. So I am behind it 100%. This man was, in my opinion, from what I was told, this is, you know, a four-month sentence.  But this man was treated really badly by the Biden administration. And he was given a jail term. He's highly respected. He's a very successful guy. They sent him to jail and they really set him up. That's my opinion. I was told about it.  I said, "Eh, it may look bad if I do it. I have to do the right thing." I don't know the man at all. I don't think I ever met him. Maybe I did. Or, you know, somebody shook my hand or something. But I don't think I ever met him.

George Santos was somewhat of a “rogue,” but there are many
rogues throughout our Country that aren't forced to serve seven
years in prison. | started to think about George when the subject
of Democrat Senator Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal came
up again. As everyone remembers, “Da Nang” stated for almost
twenty years that he was a proud Vietnam Veteran, having
endured the worst of the War, watching the Wounded and Dead
as he raced up the hills and down the valleys, blood streaming
from his face. He was “a Great Hero,” he would leak to any and all
who would listen — And then it happened! He was a COMPLETE
AND TOTAL FRAUD. He never went to Vietnam, he never saw
Vietnam, he never experienced the Battles there, or anywhere
else. His War Hero status, and even minimal service in our
Military, was totally and completely MADE UP. This is far worse
than what George Santos did, and at least Santos had the
Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE
REPUBLICAN! George has been in solitary confinement for long
stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly
mistreated. Therefore, | just signed a Commutation, releasing
George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George,
have a great life!
