President Trump Stunned by Own Actions After Hours of Pardoning Convicted Felons
The President was caught off guard when a reporter asked him about the pardon he signed just hours prior. "You have thousands of people that we're dealing with, and if one goes haywire," Trump said in response to the question before quickly changing the subject mid-sentence.
The comments came after Trump was forced to explain his decision to pardon a convicted felon who had allegedly threatened House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just days ago. Despite having hours of notice about the impending pardon, Trump seemed unsure of why he signed it or even what the individual was accused of doing.
Trump's remarks were eerily reminiscent of his repeated claims that President Biden is unaware of events unfolding around him and that he should be "autopen" - a term Trump used to describe the president as being unable to fulfill basic duties. The comment, however, came from one who had just hours earlier claimed to not know anything about a top-secret mission in North Korea.
The lack of transparency from the President has become an issue throughout his administration. In recent months, Trump has appeared clueless when asked questions about various topics including student visas, deportations, NATO training exercises and even classified information sharing - only to say "I don't know" multiple times during a single Q&A session.
Trump's pardon of Changpeng Zhao, who helped finance the president's stablecoin, remains shrouded in mystery. When asked directly why he granted the pardon, Trump initially said he didn't recognize the Binance founder but eventually claimed that "they" told him it was necessary. It is unclear whether this explanation is a genuine attempt to justify his actions or simply an attempt to deflect attention.
The frequency of these instances raises serious concerns about President Trump's understanding of his responsibilities and the lack of transparency within his administration.
