During one of Trump’s recent, now daily Coronavirus Task Force briefings, Donald was questioned by one reporter regarding a pardon for Joe Exotic, the “star” of the Netflix reality TV show Tiger King, a roadside tiger zoo owner who is currently incarcerated after being convicted for attempting to hire a hitman to kill animal rights activist Carole Baskin.
Frankly, the show had gained a pretty big following of folks who seem to believe that Baskin murdered her husband and Joe Exotic should be freed from prison — evidently quarantine makes you desperate.
It seems as though the racist reality TV show star saw a golden opportunity to call on his fellow racist reality TV show star and ask Donald Trump to give him a pardon for trying to knock off the animal rights activist who didn’t want him to have tigers in a cage while she had her own tigers in a cage.
It’s a dumpster fire of epic proportions.

But according to Trump’s eldest son and his girlfriend of the week, Donald evidently found the idea of pardoning the Tiger King personality “fascinating.”
Jr. kicked off his little podcast with his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle by his side, by explaining that the idea of a pardon for Exotic began as a “joke” on a radio show before Trump was ever questioned about it during the briefing.
“He actually called me late that night,” Junior stated during the Q&A sesh on Facebook. “He was still in the Oval Office and was like, ‘So what’s with this?'”
“So, we had a couple of seconds before him sort of checking in and getting back to work, you know, he was fascinated,” the eldest Trump child continued. “I think Melania may have shown him one of the memes that I had posted. It was like Donald Trump’s face with a Tiger King mullet, which was pretty epic.”
Let me just say, if you’ve ever seen Tiger King in any capacity, you would likely agree with me that this Exotic fellow is right up Donald Trump’s alley.
A pardon honestly wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
