The following drug dealers have been pardoned by Donald :
--Ross Ulbricht, founder, Silk Road, a platform for drugs such as cocaine and heroin.
--Juan Orlando Hernandez, former president, , convicted of trafficking tons of cocaine to the US.
--Changpeng Zhao -- Binance CEO allegedly involved in money laundering for drug traffickers and other crimes.
So much for the GOP being tough on crime.

A Latin American president who, unlike leftist leaders Maduro and Petro, actually was heavily involved in smuggling cocaine into the United States--and has pardoned him after serving just a few months of his 45-year sentence.
