Netflix documentary series, Tiger King has exploded in popularity since Americans have been self-quarantining during the COVID-19 pandemic. With nothing else to do, Americans chose to watch the show that ‘has it all’, from wildlife to guns, and dumpster diving to murder plots.
Due to the show’s wild popularity, a reporter recently referenced the show during President Donald Trump‘s recent COVID-19 briefing.

The reporter mentioned that one of President Trump’s sons had been tweeting about the show and seemed to be on board with freeing Joe Exotic. The President was quickly able to figure out which son made the tweet, although he insinuated he hasn’t watched the show.
“Do you think he did do it? Are you on his side? Are you recommending a pardon?” President Trump asked the reporter.
After the reporter explained a bit more, he asked if the President would pardon Joe Exotic. President Trump responded,
“I will take a look.”
