Washington, D.C., November 25, 2025 – Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump continued the long-standing Thanksgiving tradition by pardoning two turkeys, Gobble and Waddle, at the White House on Monday.
The ceremonial pardon, a lighthearted event held annually before Thanksgiving, spares the birds from the dinner table, allowing them to live out their days on a farm. The tradition dates back decades and has become a staple of American holiday celebrations.
Trump, joined by staff and onlookers, carried out the event with his signature flair, highlighting the fun side of the holiday season. The turkeys, now officially pardoned, will be sent to a farm to enjoy their remaining days.
The annual turkey pardon serves as a reminder of the lighter moments in American politics, even amid the serious issues dominating the national discourse.
