Washington, D.C. – Many people are baffled and confused that President Trump is considering a posthumous pardon of infamous cult leader and murderer Charles Manson. On Friday, as Trump was headed for Marine One, reporters shouted questions about the potential pardon. “Why would you pardon a notorious murderer?” Trump responded by saying, “Well, I heard that Chuck Manson said some really nice things about me. He was a pretty smart cookie.” One reporter responded by saying, “But he was a killer.” Trumps response, “There are a lot of killers. We have a lot of killers. Well, you think our country is so innocent?” Getting more and more frustrated, Trump brushed off the reporters and said, “Look I’ve heard there were murders under his cult leadership, but there were very fine people on both sides.”
