    You can’t see Trump is for sale?

      I never said he wasn’t. If I had the cash I would ask for favors too.

        Then why would you think this is a conspiracy theory?

          I don’t think that Ulbricht had the capability to bribe Trump. I think that Lemmy and Reddit users are trying to justify Trump’s pardon by saying it was done through illegal activity (bribery) instead of campaign promises. That’s why I say they are making up conspiracy theories. Now I believe he can be bribed because of all the felonies he got from issuing bribes.

            Gotcha, I still think he got paid for this because Ross was in for hiring a hitman which is an odd thing for Trump to pardon.

              Actually he was never convicted for hiring a hitman.
