Trump asks Easter egg-hunting CHILDREN "And do we love our military?," discusses economy 'n' Jesus

WATCH: Trump delivers bizarre address to lawn full of Easter egg-hunting children



With First Lady Melania Trump by his side, ramrod straight and expressionless, the president went on to thank the White House Historical Association and the Marine Corps Band, but had special praise for “a group of people that do a wonderful job.”

“I love them, I know they like me, too,” said the president ratcheting up the excitement. “It’s the egg farmers of this country, the egg farmers. And they brought thousands and thousands of eggs. I don’t know if you can use them all, but I have a feeling with these young, very ambitious children, they’re going to find a reason.”

“Maybe most importantly, I want to wish everybody a very happy Easter,” Trump said, celebrating one of the most holy days in the Christian religion -the resurrection of Jesus Christ- by touting his handling of the economy. “Our country is doing fantastically well. Probably the best its ever done economically. We’re setting records on stock markets, we’re setting records with jobs, and unemployment numbers are the lowest they’ve ever been.”

“And do we love our military? Our military’s building, is literally being completely rebuilt,” Trump continued, commemorating Easter with boasts about the nation’s ability to prosecute wars against its enemies. “All with great product, the best product in the world, and you know where it’s made? In the USA.”

“So, again, happy Easter,” the president said. “Enjoy yourselves, and I’m coming down right now to be with you.”

He's talking to a bunch of kids at an Easter egg hunt. Kids aren't interested in the economy or the military or how great the USA is, they just want to run around on the lawn and look for Easter eggs. And you don't talk to kids at Easter egg hunts about eggs coming from "egg farmers," because Easter eggs don't come from farms, the fucking Easter Bunny brings them!

What a slap in his furry face to suggest those Easter eggs were brought by egg farmers.

The only reason God didn't strike him down right there is he didn't want to upset the kids.

Why not use eggplants in Easter egg hunts? They're a nice shade of purple.

Well, unless you're stationed at Camp Lejeune. But Marines are tough and don't mind living in tents for the rest of their days, right?
