Trump Reveals Why He Didn’t Name Pardoned Turkeys Chuck And Nancy

President Donald Trump said two pardoned turkeys, Gobble and Waddle, would not have received a pardon if their names were Chuck and Nancy.

Trump pardoned Gobble and Waddle, two turkeys from Wayne County, North Carolina, as part of the annual White House tradition of pardoning two turkeys from becoming Thanksgiving dinner. The president joked that the turkeys lucked out with their names as he could never pardon Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer or former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“The turkeys being pardoned today go by the names of Gobble and Waddle. When Ifirst saw their pictures I thought we should send them, well, I was gonna, Ishouldn’t say this, I was gonna call them Chuck and Nancy, but then I realized Iwouldn’t be pardoning them. I would never pardon those two people. I wouldn’tpardon them. I wouldn’t care what Melania told me, ‘Darling, I think it would be anice thing to do.’ I won’t do it, darling,” Trump said.

Schumer voted to convict Trump during both his impeachments. He
