Trump re-pardons Biden turkeys in autopen jab — and jokes he considered naming this year’s birds ‘Chuck and Nancy’

WASHINGTON — President Trump hosted the annual turkey pardon at the White House Tuesday — joking that he was also re-pardoning last year’s birds that only got an “autopen” reprieve and saying he considered naming this year’s gobblers “Chuck and Nancy.”

Former President Joe Biden “used an autopen for last year’s turkey pardons,” the president joked, calling them “totally invalid,” a contention he’s made of the Democrat’s late-term grants so often that an autopen portrait took the place of Biden’s picture in the White House photo gallery.

“The turkeys known as Peach and Blossom last year have been located and they were on their way to be processed… but I have stopped that journey and I am officially pardoning them, and they will not be served as Thanksgiving dinner,” he joked.

“When I first saw their pictures… I was going to call them [Senate Minority Leader] Chuck [Schumer] and [former House Speaker] Nancy [Pelosi], but then I realized I wouldn’t be pardoning them. I would never pardon those two people,” Trump joked, noting “I wouldn’t care what Melania told me.”

I heard that Trump’s son wrote on X: “How long before a Federal judge orders that the pardons must stop.”

Worst job in the world: the turkeys who got draft numbers 3 and 4. They thought they were safe, but then get cooked when 1 and 2 get pardoned and a life of luxury.

If last year’s pardoned turkeys are still alive, they are very lucky. Once I read a news story which said that the turkeys which get a pardon are usually so obese, that they rarely live more than a year afterwards.

If turkeys think they have it tuff the chickens don’t die of old age as most of them do.
