"The right-wing anti-fraud campaign this year has largely focused on minority and immigrant communities whose populations include many people dependent on government support for services and funding, like those Somali-American daycare providers in Minnesota." For right-wingers to campaign for a pardon for a well-connected white guy who confessed to white-collar fraud is hypocrisy.

Trump: "Amazing. Incredible. Unbelievable. Historic. Like nobody's ever seen. Extraordinary. Best in the world by far. Unheard of. A record that is unparalleled in the history of aviation. Genius. Very talented. Central casting. Very strong. A leaker leaked. We'll find the leaker."
