Trump spares turkeys at annual pardoning ceremony, but roasts his political opponents

He joked about sending the turkeys to an infamous prison in El Salvador that has been used to house migrants deported from the United States. He said the birds should be named Chuck and Nancy after Democratic stalwarts Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi but I would never pardon those people. Trump claimed that last year's turkey pardons, issued by President Joe Biden, were invalid because he used an autopen. Where's Hunter? he said, suggesting that his predecessor's son could once again face legal jeopardy. And all of that was before Trump turned his attention to Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat who has resisted the White House's plans to deploy the National Guard in Chicago. Trump said he had a joke prepared about Pritzker, but I refuse to talk about the fact that he's a fat slob. I don't mention it.

Trump Declares Biden's Autopen' Turkey Pardons Invalid' at Thanksgiving Ceremony

He used an autopen last year for the turkey's pardon[s], so I have the official duty to determine, and I have determined last year's turkey pardons are totally invalid, Trump said, drawing some laughs from the assembled crowd. The president then moved on from clowning Sleepy Biden to his son, Hunter Biden. As are the pardons of about every other person that was pardoned, other than, uhh, where's Hunter? Trump said, drawing a couple more chuckles. No, Hunter's was good.
