Trump’s apparently pardoned Susan B. Anthony.

Am I supposed to be moved by this? Am I going to think that this sways anyone anywhere to vote for Trump? It’s a purely hack move because we know that the symbolism of pardoning Anthony is more than offset by Trump’s refusal to change the $20 bill that was scheduled to honor Harriet Tubman. He’s keeping the racist slaver and genocidal Andrew Jackson on the $20.

Tubman was not only an abolitionist and former enslaved woman, but she became a suffragist as well.

Trump thinks pardoning Anthony somehow will curry favor with white suburbans. Doubt many will know who Anthony was (even as she was honored with a $1 coin).

President Trump remains a treasonweasel who thinks he can pardon his way out of felony conduct (he remains an unindicted coconspirator on Cohen’s felonies). He thinks this will sway voters?

Trump purposefully refused to change $20 to Harriet Tubman- a suffragist and abolitionist

But I also think it is a setup for Trump to pardon Stone. Stone has cut bait on his appeal, which would suggest that he’s about to get a pardon or commutation from Trump. It’s corruption in plain sight.
