Donald's behavior in pardoning mega-criminals such as this one just make it easier to conceive that he is covering for an international pedophile ring consisting of his rich friends. Or that he's sexually into children himself.

Trump over the years continues to prove that he is capable of anything. Anything.

When we finally, finally unearth all of his crimes, millions of us with sensitive stomachs will lose our lunch.

"he is covering for an international pedophile ring consisting of his rich friends."

Trump doesn't have "friends," but they share a common interest:

Forcing themselves on groomed children.

Some people say Hernandez had to give the decomposing orange pedo a cool billion for that pardon.

More from the cited article ...

... Now, Hernndez, who once reportedly told his co-conspirators that they were going to "stuff the drugs up the gringos' noses," is heaping gratitude on leading figures in MAGA (a movement purportedly in favor of stopping the influx of drugs into the United States, by any means necessary).

On X Friday, Hernndez shared his first message since being released from a U.S. prison, where he was just over a year into a 45-year sentence: an 11-minute Spanish-language speech expressing his "profound gratitude to President Donald Trump," along with a tweet extolling Trump and other key figures in his orbit.

Hernndez specifically thanked Roger Stone and Matt Gaetz, allies of the president who played central roles in the campaign for his pardon. ...

What Pres Trump might have gotten in return for this pardon?

Pres Trump is, imo, transactional. He does not give unless he receives.
