    passed criminal justice reform

    I entirely forgot what Trump did. But I'm still pretty darn sure it was pure politics, superficial, and in no meaningful sense "reform".

    personally pardoned black inmates

    How many people? ~5? And he pardoned some rappers. That was pure politics too.

    If some net rando gets the details wrong - I don't think anything of it. But politics is her fucking job and it pays her mortgage and her bills. How can anybody be so stupid?

    Ninja edit. It's a rhetorical question of course.

      To your first point: First Step Act

      Of course like most any legislation a president takes credit for it's literally "signed his name and didn't block it". But that might put Trump above Biden in terms of actual criminal justice reform
