Donald Trump announces pardoning Diddy is on the table, even though he wants the President ‘banished’

He won't let Diddy's "nasty" words change his decision.

Confirming fears that Donald Trump has confirmed that he won’t let his personal feelings influence the decision.

Right.

Diddy’s trial is currently ongoing, with witnesses revealing details that range from disgusting to horrifying against the disgraced musician. Many legal experts have already concluded that he could be looking at life in prison for his crimes, if convicted (which is more of a “when” at this point).

But, in the past, Trump has called Diddy his friend, has been photographed with the man, and has a certain soft spot for celebrity criminals convicted with solid proof. So, obviously, the question has been out there – of him eventually pardoning Diddy and nullifying the battle his victims have been waging for justice.

He just confirmed those fears.

During a recently held news conference, when asked if Trump would even consider pardoning Diddy, he remarked that he knows “people are thinking about it.”

“He used to really like me a lot. I think when I ran for politics…that relationship busted up, from what I read. I don’t know—he didn’t tell me that, but I’d read some little bit nasty statements.”

I would certainly look at the facts. If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don’t like me, it wouldn’t have any impact on me.”

What does Trump mean by “nasty statements?” Well, while they were friends years ago, in the later years, Diddy didn’t keep his dislike of the current president a secret. From announcing that “white men” like Trump should be “banished,” to endorsing Barack Obama and then Joe Biden, Diddy made it obvious that he was no longer Team Trump.

But many anti-Trumpers have hada  change of heart, like Vice-President JD Vance who was once a vocal critic of the president, calling himself the “Nver Trump Guy,” but now? Now, he can’t stop gushing about the man and repeating his mind-numbing lies, even if it is about people eating cats. And Trump forgot the past to embrace the man. What is stopping him from doing the same for Diddy if the rapper shows the right amount of remorse mixed with a hefty dose of sudden iration for him?
