Well, he IS a troll extraordinaire. Outrage culture is the perfect trolling environment. No one causes head explosions quite like he does. It annoyed me at first because he wasn't acting "presidential." Now I simply find it hilarious. The point being that there's also a decent chance he issued the clemencies for the sole purpose of sending a certain percentage of his detractors further into derangement syndrome.
