During the Obama years – God, how I miss them – the annual White House Easter Egg Roll was a fun, silly and sometimes celebrity-filled event. The Obamas invited federal employees with kids, White House staffers with kids, and just regular Washington people to come to the event. The president and first lady would read to children, someone would dress up like the Easter Bunny, lots of chocolate would be around (although Michelle also had some healthier options) and all in all, it was just a nice day on the White House calendar. The Obamas thrived at those kinds of events and they were usually executed flawlessly, and with humor and humanity.
Well, for weeks we were hearing that the Trump administration was too messy, too chaotic and too stupid to properly organize their Easter Egg Roll event. Even the New York Times called them out for their crappy advance work last week, and I SWEAR TO GOD, Bigly’s people were out ahead of the Easter Egg Roll trying to diminish expectations about how bad this year’s event was going to be. Basically, it’s the story of Bigly presidency in a nutshell: half-ass everything, insult everyone, lie endlessly and then when you don’t completely sh-t the bed, declare victory and repeat the process ad infinitum. So what happened during Monday’s White House Easter Egg Roll? A bunch of sh-t.
Melania had to give Bigly a nudge to get him to put his hand over his heart:

Emperor Bigly terrified children when he began a half-stump speech about how “We will be stronger and bigger and better as a nation than ever before and we are right on track. You see what’s happening, and we’re right on track.” My God.

A kid asked Trump to sign his hat, which Trump did… and then Trump tossed the hat into the crowd.

And finally, this year’s Easter Bunny was a terrifying, bespeckled monster. DO NOT LOOK INTO HIS DEAD EYES. Do make a Donnie Darko reference though.
