As the news spread, Trump supporters took to Twitter to calmly share their displeasure, voicing polite disagreement with Trump's decision to back away from one of his biggest campaign promises just two weeks after the election.

Perhaps it also shouldn't be a surprise that some are already formulating conspiracy theories about the decision to walk back the promise.

And one pro-Trump site has suggested that the decision is to fool President Barack Obama to not issue a pardon for Clinton, leaving her vulnerable to future charges in case Trump changes his mind again.
