Trump rants to young kids about Biden at White House Easter event



Sitting at a picnic table surrounded by ten young children, President Donald Trump aired his grievances with former President Joe Biden and the “fake news” media while participating in a White House Easter event Monday.

Trump briefly spoke at the event – known as the White House Easter Egg Roll – before joining a table of children, all of whom appeared to be coloring and drawing pictures. Trump offered to “sign autographs” for the children, telling them that they could “sell them for $25,000 on Ebay.”

His mention of autographs saw him segue into criticizing Biden, who he’s accused of improperly using an autopen, an allegation that saw him demand a criminal probe into the former president. Trump’s Justice Department has since “quietly” shelved its investigation into Biden’s alleged improper use of an autopen.

"You know, Biden would use the autopen!” Trump told the children. “He was incapable of signing his name, so they'd follow him around with this big machine – you know what it was called? An autopen! And he'd have the autopen sign for him. He'd take the paper, hand it to his guys, they'd sign it with an autopen! Not too good, right?”

Trump then transitioned into attacking the media, asking the group of children their opinion on the press.

“Who likes the fake news? Does anybody like the fake news?” Trump asked.

“No!” exclaimed one child.
