GOP convention casts Trump as a caring pugilist who fights for ordinary people

The Republican National Convention spent four days trying to reassure voters that a second term for President Trump is a decent and moral choice, whatever their misgivings about his temperament, tweets, and personal tendencies.
Trump’s likelihood of winning a second term will depend, in part, on whether the convention not only succeeded in rallying a conservative base that has remained loyal to the president for four years, but also whether suburban voters end their exodus from the GOP. The programming sought to portray Trump as a defender of every person, not just the rich, white, and powerful.
Each night, Trump was shown helping ordinary people. He celebrated pardons and commutations, not of his political allies but of offenders who had turned their lives around. An immigration hawk who vowed to control the country’s borders, he presided over a naturalization ceremony for legal immigrants. Hammered for the coronavirus death toll in America, he met with first responders and medical professionals risking their health to combat the pandemic. Whatever the propriety of using the White House in this fashion, each act was intended to smooth over Trump’s rougher edges.

Speaking of Pardons, this one was especially rich. He made it official in the Oval Office just now, with her sitting by him.

Alice Johnson, pardoned by Trump, was put away for life under Biden-sponsored bill

Alice Johnson, the grandmother freed by President Trump on the advice of Kim Kardashian, was sentenced to life in prison by a crime bill that Joe Biden co-sponsored, wrote and championed, The Post can reveal.
As a single mom of five in 1996, Johnson, now 65, was slapped with five concurrent life sentences without the chance of parole on a first-time non-violent drug charge for her involvement in a million-dollar cocaine ring.
Trump commuted her sentence in June 2018 following lobbying from reality TV star and lawyer-in-training Kardashian, and Johnson will speak at Thursday’s 2020 Republican National Convention finale.
