'Will you pardon yourself?': Trump ignores questions after pardoning turkey

Appearing with first lady Melania Trump in front of the White House, the president made brief remarks thanking healthcare workers and researchers working on a Covid-19 vaccine.

According to tradition, two turkeys named Corn and Cob stayed at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel before the official ceremony. After an online poll, Corn was chosen to be pardoned. Trump did not take questions at the event, and ignored a shouted question about whether he was considering pardoning himself.

For those not in the know, this turkey was pardoned for crimes of a fowl nature,

[practicallyheidi]

This has got to be the weirdest tradition ever.

[fifty-five]

The fact a president can do that is mind blowing

[FakeNews_Ignored]

Thank you Mr. President for best four years this country ever experienced.
80 million Patriots love you and will follow your voice.

[carlpennington]

Who is the real turkey here can only imagine what that bird is thinking right now, , , he can give a turkey a pardon but can't get anne sacoolas to face trial here in UK for driving on the wrong side of the road, , and killing Harry Dunn, ,

[Lord_Jesuss]

Poor turkey, being a sacrifice to a demonic ritual

[Dedition]

This comment section is filled with so many bitter people. Calm tf down

[TheBonsaiGarden]

The idea that ANYONE can pardon themselves in law is absurd. It absolutely invites corruption.

[wanderingquestions]

Melanie looks happy .... they’re leaving the WH

[friendo]

The Guardian’s disdain for Trump is so apparent.

[debrabishop]

Mr. Trump dosnt have to answer the medias questions anymore, he can live the remainder of his life in peace and happiness.
