The Hernández pardon was not just mercy. It was strategy.
Biden’s DOJ took a former Honduran president who had cooperated with America, extradited traffickers, worked with U.S. agencies, slowed migration, and kept Honduras aligned with Taiwan, then helped turn him into a prison trophy as his successor pulled the country toward Beijing.
As President of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández had been a partner in the requests that American presidents made of Honduras during his eight years in office.
Trump saw the board differently. He understood that Honduras was not a footnote—it was a strategic front 90 minutes from Texas.
The pardon, the endorsement, and the pressure campaign changed the election. And now Honduras is moving back toward America. [Luthmann]
Good Night, Patriots!

He was convicted by a jury after a 3 week trial.
Trump and his administration argued that Hernández was treated "very harshly and unfairly" and was "set up" by the Biden Administration's Justice Department.
They also say we're not at war with Iran and that gas prices are on their way down.
Trump has said gas prices will fall once the Iran conflict is over. In my mind it IS a war but war was not declared by Congress...still a conflict.
