*One of Muhammad Ali‘s ex-wives is not feeling the orange a-hole in the White House as far as his idea of pardoning the late, legendary boxing champ. She, like a lot of folks, thinks he (Trump) is wasting his time on pardoning dead folks. It’s the ones who are living that count.
Khalilah Ali — who was married to Muhammad from ’67 to ’76 — said the president basically freaked her out when she watched him tell the media he was considering pardoning Ali … presumably for his conviction for resisting the draft in 1971.
That conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court … so, as Khalilah pointed out, “There’s no necessary need for a pardon.”
“I think [Trump] probably was a fan of Ali and he thought he would say something positive about him. That might be it … but it’s a little too late.”
Khalilah tells TMZ that if Trump really respects what Ali stood for … he would “pardon” the NFL players who knelt during the national anthem — and by that, she means Trump should stop trashing them for standing up for what they believe in.
“If you’re willing to say its okay for Muhammad Ali to be pardoned for his freedom and standing up his rights and standing up for not going to the army … then you’re telling me that you’re ready to pardon everybody that has done that in the same manner as Muhammad Ali has.”
Yeah well check this out. As far as the NFL players and pardons are concerned, guess who just had the gall to ask the players who he should pardon.

Trump was speaking with reporters in front of the White House when he talked about his new plan to help determine who should be pardoned.
“What I’m thinking to do, you have a lot of people in the NFL in particular … they’re not proud enough to stand for our national anthem …”
“I’m gonna ask all of those people to recommend to me … people that they think were unfairly treated by the justice system and I’m gonna ask them to recommend to me, people that were unfairly treated, friends of theirs or people that they know about and im gonna take a look at those applications.”
“And if I find and my committee finds that they were unfairly treated, then we will pardon them or at least let them out.”
