US EditionTrump Pardons Thanksgiving Turkeys Gobble and Waddle at Rose Garden Ceremony
President Trump pardoned turkeys Gobble and Waddle in the White House Rose Garden while making political jabs and invalidating Biden's prior pardons due to autopen use.
- On Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2025, President Donald Trump pardoned Gobble and Waddle in the White House Rose Garden during the annual Thanksgiving ceremony.
- The tradition traces back to the late 20th century and was formalized in 1989, with the National Turkey Federation and public online naming process selecting the turkeys.
- The turkeys, hatched earlier this year on July 14, stayed at The Willard InterContinental Hotel and will live under the Prestage Department of Poultry Science at North Carolina State University, Raleigh.
- Using the ceremony as a platform, Trump said a Justice Department probe found Biden used an autopen, declaring last year's pardons invalid and saying 'I would never pardon those people'.
- Amid Thanksgiving week turbulence, Trump faces legal setbacks including a judge tossing cases against James Comey and Letitia James due to an interim U.S. attorney's illegal appointment.
