23. Yes, he has been pardoning himself..

Jun 2018

his whole life, his family has pardoned him for his behavior, so naturally he thinks that's how he gets out of this job. My question is how in the hell has he skated on his act for all this time? Why hasn't he been convicted of any of his fraud, financial cheats, mob activity? How has he skated this long? That guy!?!
