Presidential Turkey Pardons: Trump spares Waddle, Gobble in White House tradition

President Donald Trump kicked off Thanksgiving week with the classic White House tradition of pardoning turkeys.

Waddle and Gobble, the birds spared from the dinner table, enjoyed luxury accommodations at the Willard InterContinental before their Tuesday afternoon Rose Garden appearance.

The public helped choose the turkeys’ names online.

First turkey pardon

Presidents have pardoned turkeys as far back as the Lincoln era, but the first official pardon was granted by President George H.W. Bush in 1989.

The 25-foot concolor fir was grown at Korson’s Tree Farms in Sidney Township, Michigan, about 150 miles northwest of Detroit.

The farm won a national contest to provide the tree, which will be displayed in the Blue Room of the White House.
