He is reuniting families. Brings a tear to this old eye. She thanked him by name. All I could think was how much did they pay her to say that?

If only it was true.

Lying bastard.

that surrounded her in the final "Thanks Donald John Trump" scene actually said anything or made any motion or even facial expression like they really wanted to thank Trump for freeing this woman.

The was a player for KC wearing a Trump sweatshirt before the game today. Trump knows he won't win their vote but he also knows he can grab a percentage.

After it was over, I looked at my wife and just said, ".........WHAT???"

It implies that he signed some massive criminal justice reform bill into law, and that as a result of HIS criminal justice reform initiative, this one woman was released from prison after receiving a life sentence for a nonviolent drug offense. What the ad DIDN'T say is that he only stuck his neck out for THAT WOMAN IN PARTICULAR because Kim Kardashian lobbied him to.

There's some tagline in there about how everyone TALKS about criminal justice reform, but only Trump could get it done, and then it shows him sitting there holding up something he signed (with the text of it blanked out so you can only see his signature). What it should say is, "If you've been wrongfully convicted, you better hope you know someone famous, otherwise Trump could give two shits about you."

I knew the guy who puts kids in cages didn't go to the mat to lighten sentences for criminal offenders, nonviolent or otherwise. That's why I was so confused. He's touting an initiative he never asked for and doesn't support. He did a favor for ONE WOMAN, and ONLY because she had a famous friend.
