The annual presidential turkey pardon ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday is meant to be a light-hearted affair, and a way for the White House to project a warm spirit and a sense of normalcy. This year, it is anything but normal.
On Tuesday, President Trump emerged from behind closed doors for one of the first times since losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden, which he has yet to formally concede.

After the ceremony, a reporter asked Trump: “Will you issue pardons before leaving office? Will you be issuing a pardon for yourself?”
How about we take this to the next level?

I’ve never understood this strange ritual. The POTUS pardons a turkey while all over the U.S. people are eating them.

Did Melania look relaxed, somewhat relieved? Maybe she is counting down the days until she can leave the White House? We know she didn’t want to be there.
Dump can’t pardon himself. He hasn’t been convicted of a federal crime- yet. If he tries to pull it off I hope Biden and the Dums don’t let him get away with that crap. My logic says if Dump tries to pardon himself of a crime he hasn’t been convicted the pardon is moot. However, that he attempted a pardon is an admission he HAS committed crimes. So the feds can and better go after him.
It is a matter of national security the maniac is off the streets.
