A Backfire

Clutching the podium, jaw set, getting booed, at the Libertarian Convention Trump tried to cut a deal: He offered to put a Libertarian in his cabinet if Libertarians endorsed him – then, staring at ‘Free Ross’ signs, made a second promise: His first day in office he’d pardon Ross Ulbricht.

Who is Ross Ulbricht?

He built a black market so drug pushers could sell heroin, cocaine, other drugs on the internet. Landed in prison.

At Mar-a-Lago the night he announced Trump growled he wanted drug pushers to get the death penalty – then promised Libertarians he’d pardon an internet drug dealer. That’s politics. But chickens fly home to roost.

The night he debates Biden the minute Trump says he stands for ‘law and order’ –  he’d better be ready to hear Ross Ulbricht’s name.
