Frank Bruni: I ‘Worry’ Trump’s Using Jack Johnson Pardon ‘as a Distraction’

‘It definitely looks like the kind and big minded thing to do, but I worry he’s using this as a distraction’

EXCERPT:

BRUNI: "It definitely looks like the kind and big-minded thing to do, but I worry he’s just using this as a distraction. If we’re looking at the record and history of Donald Trump, the number of times he’s done race-baiting things, outright racist things, they aren’t erased by this one gesture. I think he sat there, 'I'm going to really show them a different Donald Trump right now,' and I'm not persuaded."
