Donald Trump May Kill White House Easter Egg Roll

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON, DC — It's only a few weeks until the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, and there hasn't been a peep out of the White House on any of the logistics, according to one report. And that's leading to questions about whether President Trump is going to bother holding it at all.

The Washington Post reports that although it's supposed to happen on April 17, there hasn't been any indication that anyone is working on the event.

It's not a small issue, either. The Easter Egg Roll is the White House's largest annual public event, with 35,000 parents and children attending last year.

And yet, it wouldn't be surprising if Trump ended the event unceremoniously. After all, he's certainly bucked a few D.C. traditions already. He's not going to the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. He isn't making any trips to Camp David. He doesn't bother visiting any D.C. businesses or restaurants.

1. Would probably be better that small children, especially those

of color, not to be around him.

2. When your presidency is powered by hate...

...an event that's supposed to be pleasant and fun probably seems pretty useless to you.

3. Maybe they'll have a nice Easter Egg hunt for all the young Trumplings.

If Americans behave themselves, they may stand outside the fence and watch the Trumplings have fun.

4. The most joy-less man in the world

what responsible parent would let their kids
anywhere near a pussygrabbing molester like that.

5. He wants to be in Mar-a-Lago over Easter

He doesn't have time for the people.

6. Does he go to church when he's in Florida?

Will he go Easter Sunday? Will anyone care?

8. He's the best churchgoer. He loves god bigly.

7. Would anyone even want their kids touching eggs from the crazy man in the white house? n/t

9. The White House has announced that they will be holding the event.

Best to double check things before posting week-old stories.

10. And yet the White House web page has little information

They've announced the event but there haven't been any tickets made available. The webpage says, in part, "Ticketing information coming soon." The later it gets, the more difficult the logistics will become. One of the main reasons for the early ticket lottery is so that families who received tickets can make their travel plans in advance.

Friends of mine have worked at the Easter Egg Roll for many years acting as various cartoon characters. None of them have been informed if they will be hired for the event. They are taking other work instead. The impression is that although the First Lady's office traditionally organized the event, Mrs. Trump is never in residence at the White House and has apparently let many traditional things slide.

11. That site is mentioned in the article when the link is clicked.

At the top of the page it states that thus far they have not coordinated ticketing for the event. The title of the article is accurate in reference to the amount of preparation that has occurred.

12. Didn't the administration have the Easter bunny deported?
