President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to slam Major League Baseball (MLB) and give late baseball star Pete Rose, who was convicted of tax evasion, a "complete pardon."

"Major League Baseball didn't have the courage or decency to put the late, great, Pete Rose, also known as "Charlie Hustle," into the Baseball Hall of fame. Now he is dead, will never experience the thrill of being selected, even though he was a FAR BETTER PLAYER than most of those who made it, and can only be named posthumously," Trump wrote.
