You’ve got to love it when Hollywood stars suddenly change their tune. These people spend years attacking conservative leaders. Then they get in trouble and guess what? They come running for help from the same people they trashed. Funny how that works, isn’t it?

Here’s what gets me. When times are good, they’re all about resistance and opposition. But when those prison doors start closing? Suddenly they remember that maybe burning bridges wasn’t so smart after all.

Sean “Diddy” Combs just proved this point perfectly. The hip-hop mogul got convicted last month on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. And now? He’s begging President Trump for a pardon. Yes, you read that right. The same guy who Trump says was “very hostile” during his campaign now wants Trump to save him. Talk about irony!

According to defense attorney Nicole Westmoreland, Combs’ team has “reached out and had conversations in reference to a pardon.” Good luck with that, I say.

A Convicted Man’s Hope

Trump’s response should surprise nobody. In a Newsmax interview, the president kept it real. “When I ran for office, he was very hostile,” Trump said. Then he added the important point: “I don’t know… it makes it more difficult to do.”

But get this – Westmoreland says her client is still optimistic. “He is a very hopeful person, and I believe that he remains hopeful,” she told CNN. Really? After Trump basically said no way? That’s some serious denial right there.

From ‘CNN’:

Last month, a jury convicted Combs on two lesser charges of transportation to engage in prostitution and acquitted the hip-hop mogul of the most serious charges – racketeering conspiracy (referred to as RICO) and sex trafficking. Combs was facing up to life in prison. Instead, he now faces a maximum sentence of 20 years – though, he is likely to serve a shorter sentence, according to legal analysts.

Combs sits in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center right now. He’s been there since September 2024. Multiple judges have said no to bail. His sentencing comes in October, and his lawyers are getting desperate.

When Politics Come Home to Roost

Trump showed real class here. “I was very friendly with him. I got along with him great and he seemed like a nice guy,” the president said. But then came the truth bomb about Combs being hostile during the campaign. Can you blame Trump for remembering?

This isn’t just about one celebrity in trouble. It’s about all these liberal elites who attack us for years. Where was Combs’ respect for law and order before? Where was his love for conservative leadership when he was living large? Nowhere, that’s where.

The White House is staying out of it. They said they “will not comment on the existence or nonexistence of any clemency request.” Smart move. Let the courts do their job.

Here’s a guy who stood with the left when it was cool. Now he needs help and suddenly wants to be friends with Trump? Please. Actions have consequences. Character matters. And you can’t just flip-flop when it suits you.

I’m not surprised Combs learned this lesson the hard way. For those of us who’ve watched Hollywood attack our values for years, this moment feels like justice. Not because we enjoy seeing people suffer. But because it proves what we’ve always said – principles aren’t something you pick up and drop when convenient.
