Reminder: Donald Trump Promised To Free Ross Ulbricht on 'Day One'
Lord knows it's probably not smart to hold politicians accountable to their campaign promises. But President-elect Donald Trump is no typical politician
This has been celebrated as a Libertarian victory, but imo it is just a minor one. Of course it is great for him personally but it isn't really changing anything in society. From that perspective DOGE is a lot more impactful.
Good point. I guess for me, it shows Trump doing what he said he'd do. Because when I heard him promise that, I was really curious if he'd follow through. And he actually did!
sure. Guy often does what he says he will do. The "Trump-wall" was a nice example during his first term. I think he was the only one believing he would do it. Worried that this might also apply to Greenland and his most extreme tarrif statements.
The base doesn't care about such things, so I expect "I never said that" and/or "I was joking"
Yeah, I'd be surprised if he gets freed. But I'd like it to happen.
