The delayed process of such a magnanimous event, means the outcome is likely to be smaller in scale. The evidence points to a quickly thrown-together affair that people close to the planning said would probably draw about 20,000 people substantially smaller than last years Easter Egg Roll, which drew 37,000 and be staffed by 200 volunteers, one-fifth of the usual number, writes The New York Times.
The White House has also ordered half the amount of Easter eggs as President Barack Obamas White House did in 2016 due to the limited manufacturing window for this years Easter Egg Roll, White House official retailer Lara Kline told the Times.
Much of the discrepancy in this years slow planning seems to fall on the absence of the First Lady in Washington. Mrs. Trump, who lives in New York, has not enacted a full-staff for the East Wing, and such members have typically been responsible for leading the Easter festivities.

(82,849 posts)Sean Spicer will be here soon to tell us all that it was the Biggest. Crowd. Ever. for the Easter Egg Roll. And those chickenshit reporters in the Press Room will just sit there writing it down.

(31,112 posts)the type of people who would come to such an event.
Though he hasnt a clue about government, business or anything else, he does think he is above others regardless of who they are.
I wanna know who works for him who makes sure he is only a complete failure 60% of the time in business instead of 100% of the time.
Who is that person who goes behind him and fixes everything he does I wonder?

However, I would rather him be Easter egg rolling instead of making decisions.

(16,927 posts)he's afraid the kids (and their parents) will find the eggs and throw them at him!!
As for the "first pitch" thing - would he dare show his face in a crowd that isn't a "controlled" crowd (ie: campaign rally)? He KNOWS he'd be "BOOed" out of the place!!!!

Except maybe Donald Trump in a clown outfit.
That would be creepier.
