True Things 19 - An Easter Sunday Twofer*

On Easter Sunday, two days ago, Donald Trump joined a group of about a dozen children outside the White House.**  They sat a a small white picnic table, surrounded by adults, many (most?) of them reporters, cameramen and sound techs.  Here is what Donald Trump, the sitting President of the United States, said to them on Easter Sunday:

“I could sign autographs for you guys, and then tonight, you could sell them for $25,000 on eBay.”

Trump's granddaughter Carolina was among the children at the table.  “Carolina is the only one that doesn’t want my autograph,” Trump said, as the parents laughed. “I would say Carolina has zero interest in my autograph.”  As a member of the family, does she know something we don't?

Later in the day, speaking in the White House Press Room, Trump said,

"This is one of our better Easters I think in a lot of different ways. I can say militarily, it has been one of the best."


* - Of course, he also said, also on Easter Sunday:

"Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell -- JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah."

But you already knew that.

** - It's not clear why he was allowed anywhere near these kids.
