This week, Trump issued two dozen pardons, including those for rapper NBA YoungBoy and gangster Larry Hoover, aiming to appeal to Black voters. This pardoning strategy raises questions about his true motivations, as it contrasts sharply with his usual rhetoric against individuals like Hoover and Gaulden. While the pardons may seem benevolent, they are seen as strategic moves to bolster support within the Black community, particularly as dissatisfaction with the Democratic party grows. However, the impact and true nature of these pardons reveal ongoing complexities within America's criminal justice system.
Trump's pardoning of controversial figures like NBA YoungBoy and Larry Hoover seems less about justice and more about courting Black voter support through high-profile names.
Despite the pardons, Hoover remains incarcerated due to state charges, highlighting the complicated nature of the criminal justice reforms being promised.
