RE:88% of the 45 Trump Pardons... And speaking of pardons , Obama , who served 2 terms in office before Trump, pardoned 212 people or more then 6 times the number pardoned by Trump in half of that time , and Obama commuted the sentences of more then 1,700 people. Lets keep things in perspective here all of you little political geniuses shall we? During my career I found that it was a much fairer way of doing things to consider both sides of a arguement , rather then lie and mislead by heresay and casting aspersions which shows how morally bankrupt you really are.
