White House Says Pardons Will Be Given First to Essential Front-Line Criminals : BUT, White House Warns People Buying Pardons That Counterfeit Pardons Are Being Sold Online
The Borrowitz report.👍🏻
How come US had a president like this and still lost the election…
💯🔥❤️🇺🇸🙌
The people making this about Trump are literally sub humans whose lives are miserable, the same kind of people who waste time typing things about Trump all day on Twitter and comment sections

Trump has a million more of these to go to impress me.
Good for the man being pardoned.
But about Trump…
This is just for getting votes!
He had to use TV prompting when praising that man, and with NO emotions!
I cannot help hearing Trump in my head screaming lock him up from other occasions (without a script)
The dislikes on this video is sad..Trump has done more for blacks than any other president it’s unfortunate that people have become so brainwashed they can’t even see actual facts –
Vote Trump!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jon Ponder was released in 2009!!
Trump granted him a pardon during the 2020 Republican National Convention!!
Why Trump did not grant him a pardon in these 4 years but why now in 2020 elections at RNC..LOL
🔥🙏💛👍🔥
President Trump… promises made, promises kept.
How many fans are gonna boycott the NFL this season if they go along with the Black Lives Matter movement?
CNN where you at? What is Donna Lemon gonna say about this? Racist president pardon more black individuals than your so called "first black president". Say something about that, Michelle…..I mean Michael…..I mean Michelle.
That damn racist POTUS Donald J. Trump is at it again. Prison reform isn't enough, now he's pardoning another black individual. Damn you. Even the racist president displays more compassion, understanding, and appreciation for the term BLM than the ones who supposedly started it.
5:35 That’s the face and eyes of a person with a new life.
Trump does nothing nice unless he is getting something out of it. Anyone with common sense knows that he only pardoned this man to get more of the black votes. He used him as a political prop. That's it.
trump is a insects should be in prison
Trump just publicised this so we didn't think he only pardoned his associates.
Resident from Las Vegas, good to see your giving back to the community Jon.
Blacks aren't buying Trump's "prison pardon" psyche job. We won't forget him calling Africa "sh*thole" & trolling Obama for 5 YEARS with racist birther theories. Also calling Omarosa a "dog" was way over the top. And let's not forget him saying murderous white supremacists are "fine people"! Pardoning a black guy and granting citizenship to a few brown skinned immigrants is too little too late.
This is a very unique and beautiful pardon of this individual and I want to extend this out to my dear friend Tyra Patterson who is out of prison after 23 years for something she did not even do and I pray that she gets a full pardon an exoneration🙏🏼
