That can always happen with Trump. This should be too simple for even Trump to screw up, but he may just find a way.

7. He will not pardon the turkey. If he does, he'll expect a formal thank you from the bird(s)

His base will eat it up if he doesn't. It will also dominate the news cycle as "outrageous" and contrarian-esque...."Unprecedented in modern times" blah blah blah. We'll have to listen to mindless droning and pundit bickering about what turkeys are FOR, how we SHOULD eat them, WHY do we eat Turkeys on Thanksgiving. Endless drivel about tradition under the auspice of "who knew?" and the Trumpanzess will somehow conveniently forget everything they ever learned in grade school relevant to the Pilgrims up until this point. Like Trump discovered Thanksgiving or something......He will then tweet that he puts the "thanks" in Thanksgiving and get 20 million likes and retweets.
