“President Donald Trump told Fox News he is seriously considering issuing a pardon for former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was convicted last month of criminal contempt for ignoring a judge`s order to stop detaining people because he merely suspected them of being undocumented immigrants.
Trump told the news outlet during a conversation in Bedminster, New Jersey, that the pardon could come quickly,
`I might do it right away, maybe early this week. I am seriously thinking about it,` Trump said, according to Fox News. He said Arpaio was a `great American patriot` who had `done a lot in the fight against illegal immigration.`”

Donald Trump was condemned from all quarters for failing to respond forcefully to Saturday`s White Supremacist violence in Charlottesville, in which a woman was killed when a man crashed his car into a group of counter-protesters.
Finally on Monday, reading from a teleprompter, Trump called out the perpetrators of the violence by name: KKK, neo-Nazis, and white supremacists.
When Trump speaks off-the-cuff his syntax may be mangled, but he speaks from his heart and he tells the truth as he perceives it, but when he reads prepared remarks that his aides have written for him, he looks like a child who`s forced to read a passage of Scripture at Sunday school.
If Trump really didn`t like White Supremacists he wouldn`t appoint them to prominent positions in his administration. If Trump really wanted to strike a blow against the alt-right fascists he would immediately fire Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller and Sebastian Gorka.
Trump is racist to the core and getting him to condemn racism and bigotry is like pulling teeth.
Trump`s confession that he`s seriously considering pardoning former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio is all the proof anyone with half a brain needs that he`s a freaking racist. Arpaio was convicted of criminal contempt for ignoring a judge`s order to stop detaining people because he merely suspected them of being undocumented immigrants.
Arpaio is one of the most loathed person is the Latino community, he and his deputies arrested thousands of Latinos for the crime of driving while brown.
Trump has declared war on gays and lesbians, immigrants, Latinos, Blacks, Muslims, and women and it`s incumbent upon all of us to fight this orange bastard until he`s removed from office.
