Trump’s pardoning power has been something that has seen a lot of speculation in the face of this intense investigation which is seeing many of Trump’s oldest friends and allies facing some potentially serious legal trouble.  So when Trump pardoned Dinesh D’Souza last week for his own shady campaign malfeasance, many people saw that as a message to Trump’s allies under fire that he has their back.  And it’s certainly hard to see it any other way.  Though, D’Souza really is a man after Trump’s own heart.  Seriously, the guy wrote a book called Obama’s America that spent a chapter that basically served as one long “Yo Mama” joke against Stanley Ann Dunham, Obama’s mother, making multiple references to her weight and alleged that she was…well very promiscuous.  All of this in a book that was supposed to be aimed at Obama’s politics in office.  It makes me wonder if that sort of cruel, schoolyard bullying behavior didn’t also play into Trump’s decision…
