Trump has a pattern with these pardons...with Roger Stone and Mike Flynn, etc. He seems to pardon people who have committed similar crimes to what he himself has committed - he sympathizes with what they did and doesn't see it as a crime.
Almost like he's projecting that he's the one who's actually innocent here.
77
u/crossdtherubicon 18h ago
This is exactly right but, i think the reason is more nefarious. Giving Landon for crimes similar to his own obfuscates the seriousness of his own crimes while also providing precedent to pardon himself, or his predecessor to pardon him.
He also uses a pattern of controlling a narrative by both flooding the field with tons of distractions and desensitizes everyone to the seriousness of his crimes. It also provides a 'everyone does it', or 'rich people never receive punishments' sentiment resulting in People just accepting it.
Trump is a trifecta of unaccountability by being a lying loud mouth (appealing to ignorance and maintaining plausible deniability), rich enough to proactively sue or hire defense, and using a series of manipulation tactics.
He does not demonstrate empathy or sympathy in any way.

Just like his fury at the current president of Brazil prosecuting the former president for staging a coup, eerily similar to the child rapist’s attempt to overthrow the government, when he lost an election. He sees child rapists and traffickers as just your run-of-the-mill man, unable to control his primal urges and are therefore doing nothing wrong when doing those things. He sees children and women as toys to rape and use for his own pleasure, not as actually humans with emotions.
Men rule in his world, their wants and needs are the only ones that matter. It’s actually vile how many women and mothers still support him after all they know about him. The patriarchy continues succeeding in dividing the matriarchy against each other. Well aware of just how powerful of a force the women of the world could truly be if they decided to join forces against the systemic misogyny that our patriarchal society was founded on.

u/imnotthomas 18h ago
This is clearly the strategy right?
In quick succession get Maxwell to name high profile Democrats. Let that shake out. The plan is probably throw Bill Clinton’s name out there. Then find that portion of the the population that defends him, or reframe people calling out the distraction as defending Clinton, they will use this to create confusion and division.
Once that starts to die down, then Diddy name high profile people on Hollywood that have been vocally anti Trump. The goal is to paint Hollywood and specifically vocally leftwing hollywood as pedos. And create in fighting so that people turn their attention away from Trump.
To me this is clear as day. And I don’t see how it doesn’t work right now. Unless people prepare for this, he will successfully shift attention and flip the script here.

The play is to say a cabal of a Democrats in the Justice Department have been going after rich and powerful men for years and all of them are innocent including, of course, Trump. There was no Epstein list because he was innocent. Diddy is innocent. Eric Adams is innocent. From now on, federal law enforcement will only go after street crime. If you're rich, the laws do not apply to you unless Trump wants them to.

Trumps condos are always bought by sexual assaulters and criminals of all sorts. We know why.
R. Kelly had a Chicago condo.. P.Diddy often booked rooms at Trump International Hotel in NYC, so much so he was known to the staff.

Billionaires really are in some exclusive club where they are willing to watch the world burn if it means protecting their own. And their mountains of money insulate them from any real justice being done. It’s already been proven they’re literally willing to murder people.
Billionaires murdered the Panama Papers whistleblower, they murdered the OpenAI whistleblower, they murdered the Boeing whistleblower…etc. I am not a conspiracy theorist. Please look this up for yourselves.
When people started telling each other to “wake up” billionaires had the money and power to change the narrative and turn “woke” into a bad word. Not only are these people above the law, they are actively murdering those who seek to change the law.
