It doesn't really matter that he's pardoned so few people when some of the people he has pardoned were the Blackwater mass murderers, found guilty of committing the Nisour Square Massacre, killing innocent men, women and children.
It doesn't really matter if someone pardons 2500 minor offences if another president basically approves of a massacre by letting the killers go free. Trump's pardons are the worst of any president's for that reason alone. It doesn't matter that he pardoned so 'few' people when the people he pardoned are not people on drug use charges or other minor charges, but actual murderers.
That's not even touching on the fact he's used pardons as rewards to people who refused to speak on his blatant corruption.
I don't think anyone of a reasonable mindset could make out that Trump's pardons are anything less than a complete outrage.
