当地时间24日,感恩节前夕,美国总统特朗普和第一夫人梅拉尼娅在白宫出席了一年一度的总统火鸡赦免仪式。
特朗普表示,“我代表整个特朗普家族,祝愿每位美国人有个健康快乐的感恩节。”
“On behalf of the entire trump family, I want to wish every American a healthy and very happy thanksgiving.”
仪式上,特朗普赦免了名叫“玉米“的火鸡。
然而,仪式还没结束,一名后排记者便大声提问:“总统先生,在你卸任前,你会赦免自己吗?”
特朗普并未理会提问,和梅拉尼娅微笑打招呼后,转身离开了……
Donald Trump ignored a reporter's question about whether he intends to pardon himself before leaving office, a legally dubious question on which there is no precedent.
“Will you be issuing a pardon for yourself?” a journalist shouted on Tuesday during a Rose Garden ceremony during which the outgoing president pardoned a turkey two days before Thanksgiving.

推特上,有国外网友还翻出了2018年特朗普特赦火鸡的仪式视频。当时,火鸡“豌豆”在投票中击败另一只火鸡“胡萝卜”,被网友选中参加白宫仪式。
仪式上,特朗普这样调侃了一番“败选”的火鸡“胡萝卜“:
“这是一次公正的选举,但是‘胡萝卜’拒绝承认败选,要求重新计票。”
“This was a fair election. Unfortunately, Carrots refused to concede and demanded a recount. And we're still fighting with Carrots. “
“但我们已经得出结论,‘胡萝卜’,很抱歉告诉你,结果没有变化,还是你输了。”
“And I will tell you we've come to a conclusion. Carrots, I'm sorry to tell you, the result did not change. Too bad for Carrots.”
这段视频在国外被大量转发,美国网友纷纷惊呼,特朗普简直“神预言”了如今的自己……
