Trump Pardons Gobble and Waddle

.@POTUS: "The turkeys being pardoned today go by the names Gobble and Waddle. When I first saw their pictures... I was going to call them Chuck and Nancy — but then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them. I would never pardon those two people." 🤣 pic.twitter.com/XuhIbTGUbI
