PARDONS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “On behalf of the entire Trump family, I want to wish every American a healthy and very happy Thanksgiving. We’re here today to continue a beloved annual tradition: the official presidential pardon of a very, very fortunate turkey, because Thanksgiving is a special day for turkeys — I guess, probably for the most part, not a very good one when you think about it…

Corn, I hereby grant you a full pardon. Thank you, Corn. What a bird.”

-Donald Trump, “Remarks by President Trump at the National Thanksgiving Turkey Pardoning Ceremony,” whitehouse.gov, Nov. 24, 2020
