I hate to be the bearer of bad news but personally, I don't think Trump will follow through with his promise, I'm quite willing to put my hand up if I've got this completely wrong!
So, Trump has outlined plans to sign numerous executive orders on day one, addressing issues like border security, immigration enforcement, energy policy, and potentially reversing many Sleepy Joe executive actions.
The sheer number of these planned orders, as reported to be over 100, suggests a packed agenda from the onset of his administration.
Commuting a sentence like Ross' might not be seen as an immediate priority in comparison to these broad policy shifts that could have more immediate and widespread impact.
Freeing Ross could be contentious due to the nature of his past involvement with SR and the precedent it might set.
This action could attract significant legal scrutiny or public backlash, especially if there's a perception of favoritism or if it's viewed as a concession to a specific political group rather than a broad policy initiative.
Given the political climate, Trump might prioritize actions that appeal to a wider base or directly fulfill campaign promises that have broader implications.
I've always said his first day in office will be a whirlwind of activity, not just in signing executive orders but also in dealing with the transition of power, meeting with staff, and setting up the new administration's framework.
We all know that Trump is ruled by his ego and he'll always choose to focus on actions that will receive significant media coverage and set the tone for his second term.
Freeing Ross, while important to the Bitcoin community, might not generate the same level of national or international attention as other policy moves like immigration reform or energy policy changes, so it might be strategically delayed to manage public perception and maintain focus on broader issues.
Trump's promise might have been made with specific political goals in mind, however, once elected, strategic priorities can shift.
If Trump sees more immediate political gains or leverage in other actions, he might delay or reconsider this promise, especially if it's viewed as less critical to his broader agenda or if there's internal resistance within his team or from the Justice Department.
Finally on a positive note, I think the near future outlook for Ross is good, if we say the first 100 days, after the dust has settled and Trump sees this as part of a broader strategy to demonstrate fulfillment of campaign promises, appealing to voters or groups who might otherwise be skeptical of his administration's actions, couple that with previous examples where Trump has shown willingness to use his clemency power for non-violent cases, as seen with Alice Marie Johnson in 2018, I suggest there's a high probability he follows through with freeing Ross.
I would hope Ross is freed sooner than later but with Trump you're not dealing with a traditional politician, bro is shilling a shitcoin memecoin one day before his inauguration ffs!!

Fine with me if he does it on day 2. Assange and Snowden are a tad bit more important.
