What did you Trump voters expect to get from a lifelong grifter and cheat?

You fall for his stupid distractions while he destroys our Republic.

Trump Pardons Nikola Founder and Top Donor Convicted of Fraud

What Happened: Trump pardoned Trevor Milton, founder of bankrupt EV startup Nikola, who was convicted of securities fraud for deceiving investors about the company’s technology. Milton, who staged a fake demo of a truck that was actually rolling downhill, had been sentenced to four years in prison but had not yet served time.

Why It Matters: Milton and his wife donated $1.8 million to Trump’s re-election, and now he walks free. The pardon could erase hundreds of millions owed to defrauded investors. Trump claims Milton was only prosecuted for backing him—calling him innocent—turning clemency into a political loyalty test and shredding the idea of equal justice.
