>On Thursday, Trump indicated for the first time he’s been listening. He told reporters aboard Air Force One he is considering commuting Blagojevich’s 14-year prison sentence, which he described as an overly harsh penalty for what essentially amounted to a “foolish statement.”

>In his comments, which were part of a discussion of his plan to pardon conservative pundit Dinesh D’Souza, Trump mentioned only one of the several corrupt acts for which Blagojevich was convicted — bartering to get something for himself in return for attempting to “sell” the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama after his election as president. He also misstated the length of Blagojevich’s sentence.

>“I’ll tell you another one … there’s another one that I’m thinking about. Rod Blagojevich,” Trump said, according to a pool report. “18 years in jail for being stupid and saying things that every other politician, you know that many other politicians say.”

>“And if you look at what he said, he said something to the effect like, ‘What do I get?’ … Stupid thing to say. But he’s sort of saying … he’s gonna make a U.S. senator, which is a very big deal,” Trump said. “If you read his statement, it was a foolish statement. There was a lot of bravado. … Plenty of other politicians have said a lot worse. He shouldn’t have been put in jail.”
