4 w. ago Trump’s pardoning of Black celebrities is a cynical ploy | Tayo Bero

It’s not the first time the president has sought to curry favor this way. His instincts about Black Americans are clearThis week, Trump issued two dozen presidential pardons to a motley crew of wrongdoers, including shady politicians, fraudulent CEOs and other wealthy ne’er-do-wells.
