My guess is that Trump had never heard of Ross Ulbricht before, but saw the signs on site and spontaneously decided to include it in his speech.

@redcat how did he know his last name? The signs just said Ross.

Will Ross Ulbricht be released from prison before January 1st, 2030?

28% chance. Efforts are being made to obtain clemency. https://freeross.org/

Ah Whalebait!

@nikki if some whale tries to snipe it I reserve the right to resolve to the presnipe price

@benjaminIkuta You don't even need to snipe!

Kind of unrelated, what’s the argument for freeing him?

@CraigTalbert Pandering for votes from libertarians who believe drugs should flow freely and murder for hire should be decriminalized. Within the next week Trump will, with a straight face, address a crowd regarding the terrible Fentanyl epidemic. He'll blame the tragedy on Mexico and China and not once mention the room full of drug dealers that cheered him the week before when he promised to liberate their pirate king.
