The president of the United States Donald Trump has not seen the Netflix documentary Tiger King yet. Despite this, he would like to take a closer look at the case of key figure ‘Joe Exotic’. He jokingly said that after questions during a Corona press conference.
Son Donald Trump Jr. said in an interview on radio station Sirius XM on Tuesday that he thinks the prison sentence that Joe Maldonado-Passage is currently serving is rather intense. The former zoo owner was sentenced to 22 years for animal cruelty and plotting an assassination attempt on rival tiger keeper Carole Baskin. Is this actually going somewhere, will the Trump Family help Joe Exotic? Who fucking knows, we are talking about Trump here. For those who live under a rock, plausible given the crisis we are experiencing right now, Tiger King is a documentary series. About Murder, Mayhem and Madness follows the longstanding feud between the two that leads to the failed ‘murder plan’.
Maldonado-Passage aka Joe Exotic has been lobbying for a presidential pardon for some time. Trump jr joked on the radio show that this might not be the right time, but that he would do his best for a pardon just for the expected memes and media response.
Asked what he thought of that, the President replied on Wednesday that he knew nothing about the matter and asked the reporter what he would recommend. Then Trump said, “I’ll go see, is he really called Joe Exotic?
