Trump Pardons Thanksgiving Turkeys Drumstick and Wishbone

WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Donald Trump
wielded his pardon power
Tuesday to spare a pair of
turkeys from the Thanksgiv-
ing roaster, joking that he
would also let last year’s
turkey pardons stand de-
spite his penchant for over-
turning Obama-era orders.
In a brief and humorous
White House ceremony,
Trump extended the annu-
al presidential tradition of
pardoning turkeys ahead
of Thanksgiving, an act
of leniency that prolongs
the lives of Minnesota-
bred gobblers Wishbone
and Drumstick, with the
latter receiving the for-
mal reprieve. Trump said
he and the first lady have
welcomed many special
visitors to the White House,
including world leaders,
Congress members “and,
along the way, a few very
strange birds. Drumstick the turkey is pardoned by President Donald Trump, left, during an annual presidential tradition attended by his son Barron
