  1. I like it when the President does the turkey thing. Easter is also fun and so is Christmas. Doesn’t matter if I like the President or not I just like that they still do festive things.

  2. I never voted or considered to vote in my entire existence. But in a heartbeat I would vote for Chocolate or chip for President right now

  3. They cut the video showing one of the turkeys leading Joe away from a reporter that started asking him questions.
