Now that President Donald Trump is handing out pardons left and right, noteworthy celebrities in prison are hoping he can do the same for them. 'The Tiger King' Joe Exotic in particular is getting desperate to persuade the new president to get him out of prison. Now, he's launching a social media campaign to try and nab Trump's attention.

Recently, Exotic posts a pair of posts on Instagram, pleading to the newly inaugurated U.S. president to get him out of prison. The first spotlights a comically sad, Naruto inspired picture, stating Trump left Joe behind in pardon consideration. "If I was a crack dealer, maybe if I broke in the Capitol, or even have been related to the Bidens, I might have gotten some relief on being in prison innocent. Hell, the guy who killed 2 FBI Agents even got a pardon today. I can't even get a new trial based on admitted perjury testimony," Joe Exotic laments

The second post sees the Tiger King walk back his frustration slightly. Additionally, he states his case that he's been in prison long enough to have learned his lessons. ""Just for the record. All the news that just came out saying I slammed Trump is fake ass b--t. Donald Trump, all I did was make a post that you forgot me again. And it seems pardons are easily gotten being related to the Bidens or a crack dealer or have killed 2 FBI Agents," Joe says. "I still have faith that Trump will do the right thing and let me out because the evidence now proves I'm innocent, and 7 years is long enough."
Certainly, there's got to be a better way of doing this than going on Instagram. I can never fault anyone to beg to get out of prison, especially if they feel like they truly learned their prison. That's a nightmare situation. However, posting memes on Instagram just can't possibly be the way to convince anyone.
