Trump pardons turkey, allows preliminary transition to Biden, and says he will ‘never concede’

President Donald Trump and his First Lady Melania participated in the annual turkey pardon ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. Several reporters shouted questions during the event, but Trump ignored the reporters and carried on with the traditional pardon. The turkey’s name is Corn and another turkey named Cob, who is not seen in the video below, will not be part of anyone’s dinner as of yet.

“Corn, I hereby grant you a full pardon! We give thanks to the priceless freedoms that we’ve inherited and we ask God to watch over and protect our nation,” said the president.

Meanwhile, the president has noted that the General Services Administration (GSA) will continue with protocol, including the transition from Trump’s administration to Joe Biden, president-elect.

Trump also stated on Twitter that he will not concede and he will continue fighting the results of the election, while still allowing things to fall into place following typical protocol, including the transition to Biden. However, Trump stated he will “never concede.”

President Donald Trump does not seem to accept the results of the election and has been fighting the results as they come in. He has legal issues being pressed in several states while working with his legal team.

Jenna Ellis has recently stated on Twitter that attorney Sidney Powell operates on her own and is not part of the actual Trump Legal Team. The statement by Ellis has sparked debates and confusion on social media, with people trying to figure out what’s going on as information is revealed piece by piece.
