Well, it happened.
Even though it appeared the president had to be reminded to put his hand over his heart during the national anthem, and the Easter Bunny is still a thing of nightmares, the Trump White House managed to host its first Easter Egg Roll on Monday, and it wasn’t the pastel-toned catastrophe that some people were expecting.
President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump both appeared at the event, a tradition that started on the White House grounds in 1878. White House press secretary Sean Spicer wasn’t the Easter Bunny this year, but he did read How to Catch the Easter Bunny, by Adam Wallace and Andy Elkerton, to some children in the reading nook.
