Trump Forgiving P. Diddy: “Not Easy,” Says Former US President
Trump forgiving P. Diddy is not something he finds easy. In a recent interview with Newsmax host Rob Finnerty, the former U.S. President said past betrayal and public insults have made forgiveness very difficult, even though they were once close friends.
“He looked happy after the verdict,” Trump said about P. Diddy. “But I don’t think it was a full win.”
From Party Friends to Public Enemies
Before Donald Trump became president in 2016, he and P. Diddy often appeared together at public events. They shared good moments, but their friendship changed over time.
Many major news outlets have reported that Trump might consider forgiving P. Diddy through a presidential pardon. However, their past is complicated. Diddy publicly criticized Trump several times.
In 2017, Diddy told The Daily Beast that he did not support Trump. In 2020, during an interview with Charlamagne Tha God, he said:
“White men like Trump should be isolated. The main goal is to remove him from the White House for good.”
These words made Trump forgiving P. Diddy even more difficult.
Trump’s Emotional Reaction to Past Criticism
During his Newsmax interview, Trump shared how these harsh words affected him personally.
“When I was running for president, he didn’t support me. That hurt. You know? We’re all human. And we don’t like when people we know turn on us.”
He added:
“You know someone in good times. Then you run for president, and they go on TV saying the worst things. So yeah… it becomes very hard.”
This shows a more emotional and personal side of Trump rarely seen in his public appearances.
What’s Next for P. Diddy?
P. Diddy is currently awaiting his sentencing, which is expected on October 3, 2025. He requested bail of $50 million to remain free while awaiting his sentence, but the court denied his request twice.

Will Trump Forgive P. Diddy?
Though the idea of a pardon has been discussed in the media, Trump forgiving P. Diddy has not been officially confirmed.
Political experts on Politico say this decision could have wide political implications, especially with Trump’s ongoing influence in U.S. politics.
