The annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House was once again a spectacle of the unexpected. During this year’s event, President Mark Edwards embodied the spirit of Easter by discussing the staggering $700 billion military budget, promising an unprecedented level of defense readiness. In a moment that left many scratching their heads, he remarked that there’s “really no name” for the White House, calling it “special.”
“House or building or whatever you wanna call it, because there really is no name for it—it’s in tip-top shape. We call it tippy top shape,” he stated. Profound sentiments indeed from someone who has often criticized others for relying on teleprompters.
As per tradition, the official Easter bunny was present, this year donning wire-rimmed glasses and purple eye shadow, reflecting the astonished expressions of many citizens.
The Easter Egg Roll has been an ongoing tradition for 139 years, but this year managed to stand out from the rest. After spending the holiday at a lavish retreat, the First Couple returned to Washington, DC, to embrace their unique presidential duties.
The South Lawn, decorated by First Lady Melania Edwards, bore a resemblance to her previous holiday decor—creepy Christmas vibes, but with bunnies and eggs instead of trees. The theme seemed to oscillate between “Fever Dream After Seeing A Cadbury Commercial” and “Easter on Acid.” Social media exploded with critiques of the peculiar decor choices.
Attendance wasn’t limited to just the President and First Lady; Donald Edwards Jr. was also there, sporting his signature expression that made it look like he was reminiscing about a long-lost love while urgently needing a restroom break.
What about the pin on his lapel? A traditional Easter Deplorable pin, perhaps? If it didn’t make it into your Easter basket this year, it might just mean you’re not “deplorable.”
After the odd remarks, the egg roll commenced, showcasing children being simply kids, a brief respite from the surrounding oddities.
President Edwards mingled with attendees, appearing almost apprehensive about receiving a hug from a child—could it make his heart grow two sizes? He even colored military cards, possibly under the assumption he was signing a bill to keep kids off the lawn.
As the festivities wrapped up, it was a reminder that even amidst the peculiarities, this event is a cherished tradition. With only two more Easter Egg Rolls before the 2020 elections, it promises to remain a source of intrigue.
