Confusion And Laughter Fill The Venue As Trump Bursts Into Odd Sounds Mid Speech

Donald Trump has made a surprising twist to a revered White House custom that many did not anticipate. On November 25, the self-proclaimed "president of peace" performed a ceremonial pardon for two turkeys, sparing them from Thanksgiving tables. This annual tradition, initiated by George H.W. Bush in 1989, gained viral attention as Trump humorously mimicked the turkeys’ sounds during the event.In his remarks, Trump diverged from the festive spirit to mock political rivals, referencing the turkeys named Gobble and Waddle, stating he initially thought to dub them Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. He declared, “I would never pardon those two.” His comments, which even included a mention of Melania Trump, stirred online backlash, with users criticizing his political digs during a typically non-political ceremony.Further, he ridiculed President Biden, claiming the previous year's pardons were “null and void” due to Biden’s use of an autopen. Despite his jests receiving laughter on-site, critics condemned his behavior, portraying him as immature.
