      It seems pretty clear that if you’re a friend or political ally of this pres, good things may happen to you. And if you’re an enemy... Which makes me wonder: What happens when a Democrat becomes president? Of course, Trump didn’t invent this, but he is taking it to another level

      You are being wayyyy too kind in describing Trump. I don't get what a Democratic president may mean? Any NEXT president has the opportunity to set a new standard of decorum, yes?

      My fear is that Trump has opened doors (broken norms) that a future president may also take advantage of. It's possible that there will be a backlash, of course, and that the next president could be great. But once doors are open, it's hard to shut them...

          What norms has he broken? With regard to Dinesh, the norm that was broken was the political prosecution of an adversary. The pardon is just making that heinousness right.

          Would you think it kosher if the next Democrat president took to Twitter and demanded their DOJ investigate and jail the Trump administration?

          Think of a smarter Trump. That is a very scary thought. This nation would be much worse off if Trump made better, smarter hires, and if he wasn't such a narcissist and so self-absorbed. This country cannot afford a smarter (i.e. more malicious) version of Trump.

          You could play that game all the way down the line. But this is definitely different. Trump himself doesn't even argue it, he's taking a "Wrecking Ball" to the system. He embraces his disregard for convention.

          Why don't you check Wikipedia while you are key-board investigating and stereotyping a journalist ... a conservative journalist at that. Matt has nearly 59K followers and credentials that predate your hashtag. Finally, the original post was thought-provoking -- Not NEWS

          Wow Really...lol!! Don't think so! Look closely at the few pardons Trump did and how many he didn't know personally but reviewed the records. You don't do junk reporting stating that they were all his friends, I stick by #fakenews. Do it fairly, bottom line!!

          You would be surprised to know I voted for Clinton one term and Obama one term...but thank you for confirming by the comment that you think we can't make a decision just because its a conservative one. This made my point completely!

          Wow, name calling. I think Matt presents a thought-provoking notion about "standards" and follow-on presidential actions. Are you suggesting that Obama's pardons alone opened the doors to letting friends and political allies off-the-hook?

          Thanks Lisa, that would be great. Could you also post each UNTRUTH that Obama stated in his first 18 months in office as well as each tweet or interview where he discredited the DOJ and FBI and oh yea ... post his cabinet firings too. Thank you!!

          Miss Lisa ... I stand corrected and misread your post ... you did say the last 13 presidents ... I read the "last president". My apologies. Still looking for your list and thanks for the semi-courteous exchange.

          Lisa is a master of circular argument -- you call me out for assuming you were posting about Obama when your tweet said the LAST 13 presidents .. I apologizeD and now you refer BACK to your LINK which is Obama's pardons. UNBELIEVABLE.
