President Trump Finally Acknowledged 'Tiger King'

President Trump has been holding a daily press conference since the pandemic has taken over the United States, where reporters are mostly focused on asking about emergency resources, social distancing practices and future plans on how to fight the current monster attacking our health and wellbeing. However, one question was asked yesterday that received quite a lot of attention from Twitter users, who couldn't believe what had occurred on their televisions.

For whatever reason, Steven Nelson from the New York Post decided to ask the President of the United States if he would consider pardoning Joe Exotic, the zoo operator featured in Netflix's documentary Tiger King. While it appears that the incredibly popular docuseries has certainly been on many people's minds, it has not been watched by our current President, who had a lot of questions about who Joe Exotic was and why he should be pardoned. He even asked the reporter which son had tweeted about it, before correctly guessing that it had been Donald Trump Jr. After Nelson provided more details, Trump quickly asked CNN's Jim Acosta if he should pardon the eccentric prisoner who is currently serving time for plotting the murder of Carole Baskin. Acosta replied the way many users did on Twitter, with a request for the President to discuss the current global crisis affecting millions of Americans instead.

When asked if he would pardon Joe Exotic, the incarcerated star of the Netflix documentary series “Tiger King,” Pres. Trump says he “knows nothing about” it, but will “take a look.” https://t.co/neRtDMrRZT pic.twitter.com/SyrDJ7R8DK

Of course, many were displeased by the reporter asking the question in the first place.

Oh lord. This reporter really asked Trump if he would pardon Joe Exotic.

WTAF: A reporter wastes our time by asking Donald Trump if he'll pardon Joe Exotic, saying he's the only one getting ratings as high as Trump's press conferences. How many Americans will die today?

During #Trump's coronavirus presser the other day, some ass asked if he’d consider pardoning Joe Exotic, the Tiger King. Now we’ve got tigers AND a clown, it’s officially a circus.

The media is so addicted to sensationalism that a journalist at the Coronavirus Press Conference literally asked Trump whether he will listen to Donald Trump Jr.’s suggestion to pardon Tiger King Joe Exotic for hiring a hit man. We have a broken government and a broken media.
