Conrad Black says U.S. President Donald Trump 'might not have been very enthused' to grant him a pardon had he been publicly critical of the president.

Published Thursday, May 16, 2019 10:00PM EDT

But Black also doesn’t think his book scored him the presidential pardon, and says Trump assured him that clemency was “the right thing to do, legally.” And in any case, that book was no whitewash of him, as you pointed out a number of his more flamboyant and controversial activities throughout his career.

You defended him, you defended him quite vociferously. Why do you feel the need to do that? What’s in it for Conrad Black? You call Barack Obama isolationist. Some are calling Donald Trump isolationist. The fact that he’s withdrawing from multilateral institutions. The FBI said last year that the number of hate crimes had gone up. Even Republicans, according to polls, are saying that the U.S. is more divided now. Given all of that, do you think that the U.S. is more fractured after he got into office?

No really 😏 But it does help having friends in high places! 😏

It's all about Trumps ego!

So in other words, If he wanted a pardon, he had to kiss his ass.

so once he's been pardoned... will he criticize? His book was a manipulation by sucking up to the president?
