It's still lame. Why not energize your base with something real like pardoning Assange? That would be news. It would be real.

Instead we get this political bullshit. WE DID NOT ELECT A FUCKING POLITICIAN! Why the fuck is he turning into one?

If he pardoned Assange right now, the Left would use it to LARP that he had "colluded" in the "DNC hack". Pelosi would probably try to impeach him over it.

Personally I hope he gives a blanket pardon to both Assange and Snowden right after the election. Snowden actually deserves it more -- he exposed the Deep State at great personal cost to himself.

TBQPH, although Wikileaks may have inadvertently helped Trump win in 2016 by damaging Hillary, Wikileaks and Assange never intended to do anything good for the U.S. Assange is an anti-American asshole and always has been. His work was always about damaging the U.S., not making us great again or anything like that. That's why Assange dumped all those not-particularly-newsworthy embassy cables that that mentally ill homo-tranny Bradley Manning obtained -- as if it were newsworthy that some embassy staffer sent a diplomatic cable giving background about the then-current political situation (read: yet another military coup backed by the king) in Thailand. But the cables were embarrassing to the U.S. because they talked about how the King of Thailand murdered his brother in order to seize the throne decades ago (like, what, just after WW2 or thenabouts), so how dare the U.S. ally itself to such a scumbag, reeeeeee, etc., etc.

I'm on the side of Snowden being a CIA spokesman, tbh. Free Assange. Pardoning Snowden would be good political gesture, but otherwise I don't see any point to it.

Not everyone cares about Assange for one. Stop whining like the left. 🙄

I don't really even care if its Assange. This stunt pardon is nothing more that political theater to try to gain political points. Something that a low-life politician like Obama would do.

We didn't elect a fucking politician.

And fuck you for equating me with the left. Can't I express my opinion that we need Trump to keep strong and not turn into a fucking politician?

Stop trying to tell people what to do Karen.

It is important to remember who is in control of the media.

Political theater is crucial to the game of politics.

Just because you don't understand why he's doing this doesn't mean it's a bad idea.
