Pardons for Criminals, Persecution for Citizens—This Is Trump’s America

Donald J. Trump Is Guilty—And You’re Letting Him Get Away With It Not in a courtroom—yet. But in the eyes of the people and the judgment of history? The verdict is in. Trump has hijacked the pardon power to reward loyalty and erase accountability. He calls jury convictions corrupt—if they involve his friends. He applauds bribes—if the money flows to him. He trades justice for applause and power for praise. Look no further than his rant about Sheriff Scott Jenkins: convicted by a jury for taking $75,000 in bribes and handing out law enforcement badges to donors, including a convicted felon. Trump called him “wonderful,” declared him a victim, and wiped the slate clean. Meanwhile, lawful immigrants are being deported over decades-old technicalities. No trial. No judge. No hearing. Just raids in the dead of night and silence to follow. This isn’t law and order—it’s a protection racket for the powerful. Trump’s not protecting the Constitution—he’s gutting it. He’s not draining the swamp—he’s restocking it with felons and flunkies. And he’s not rooting out incompetence by killing DEI—he’s replacing knowledge with loyalty, merit with obedience, and expertise with sycophants who serve him, not the country. And the world sees it. Your voters see it. Every tantrum. Every lie. Every meme-as-evidence rant. Trump is showing our enemies exactly how fragile we’ve become—how easily truth bends to ego, and how quickly justice crumbles when Congress and the Senate refuse to act. You swore an oath to the Constitution, not to one man. It’s time to act. Rein in this corruption. Restore the rule of law. Or be condemned as the branch that enabled the very collapse it feared: placing loyalty above sanity, power above justice, and silence above duty.
