US EditionTrump Dunks on Democrats During Turkey Pardons, Jokes Biden ‘Used Autopen’ to Save Birds
Trump invalidated Biden's 2024 turkey pardons citing autopen use and ceremonially pardoned turkeys Gobble and Waddle, sending them to North Carolina State University.
- On Tuesday at the White House, President Donald Trump pardoned Gobble and Waddle , sending both to North Carolina State University's Prestage Department of Poultry Science.
- Trump framed his ceremony by challenging last year's pardons, saying President Joe Biden used an autopen and he has 'determined' those pardons are "totally invalid."
- During the ceremony, Trump joked about naming the turkeys after Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and said `I would never pardon those people`, also targeting Biden's son and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.
- As an immediate result, both birds were spared but only one drew attention, and Trump said last year's Peach and Blossom were on their way to processing but he stopped that journey.
- In context, his antics fit a pattern: earlier this year Trump placed a photo of the signature machine on the presidential-portrait wall, and his claim that Thanksgiving meal prices are falling is misleading, the AP noted, while research shows costs could rise this year.
