The 139th Easter Egg roll took place at the White House today, and as Genevieve predicted, Donald Trump missed an opportunity to use it as a moment to connect with the American public as a human being. There’s just something off about this year’s Easter Egg roll.

Like the Inauguration, crowd size is an issue again on social media, and it will undoubtedly unnerve Donald Trump, which is why I’m happy to highlight it.
Estimates there are 21,000 people attending compared to last year's 37,000…@CNN reporting plenty of room to move around. #EasterEggRoll

Trump uses his muted Egg Roll speech to wrongly suggest that the country is “right on track,” using the Easter Bunny as a prop.

Meanwhile, Sean Spicer is reading his heartbreaking origins story (this is hysterical).
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life.

Meanwhile, when given a hat by a kid to sign, Trump throws it back into the crowd. That’s not how that works, Donny.
