 Now, Trump is saying it won't actually be a new department, but an "advisory committee", probably because he looked at the required process for creating a new department and said, "fuck that". If there's one thing Trump hates it's actually doing what he's promised to do.  
 He better set Ross free. Even though I am a minority and think Ross isn't a great person. Just not deserving of life sentencing imo. 
 Agree. The sentencing was overly harsh, and he didn't deserve a life sentence. It probably should have been a straight 20 years. Clemency or a pardon for Ross was literally the only one of his campaign promises I supported.  
 Ross better have some hidden bitcoin because Trump gonna need something in return. 
 He probably does, though I believe the government was pretty thorough in their search and seizure of his assets. It's 50/50 I think. But Trump is definitely going to want something in return.  
 He’s fucked. Honestly I won’t lose a second of sleep over it.
