President Donald Trump’s appearance at the White House’s annual family-oriented Easter celebration took a bizarre turn Monday as he regaled an audience of young children and their parents about the U.S. military’s purported successes and claimed the Iranian people are unhappy when not being attacked by American bombs.
Speaking to attendees at the White House annual Easter Egg Roll alongside the Easter Bunny — typically a low-level White House staffer in costume — Trump called the yearly South Lawn celebration “a special day” to “celebrate Jesus” and “celebrate religion” before pivoting to boasting of how the country has “broken every record in our military” and praising U.S. forces of successfully rescuing a downed F-15 pilot who’d been forced to eject from his fighter over Iran last week.
