President Donald Trump kicked off the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll on Monday by lauding egg supplies, Jesus, and the military’s accomplishments in the ongoing Iranian war.
“Today is a very special day. It’s a day where we celebrate Jesus. It’s a day where we celebrate religion,” he said, while standing beside the first lady and someone dressed as the Easter Bunny.
Trump, while launching the children’s event, boasted that the U.S. is doing better than ever before.
“I just want to say we have a great military, we’ve the greatest military, most powerful military of anyplace in the world,” he said, after commending the rescue of two U.S. pilots from Iran, which he said he will further discuss at a press conference later today.
He went on to brag about securing more than 40,000 eggs for the event, which he noted faced a shortage earlier in his presidency. He then praised the country’s claimed resurrection under his leadership.
“One year ago, a little bit more, our country was dead. We had a dead country. We had an administration that didn’t know what the hell they were doing. Today we have the hottest country of anywhere in the world, respected by everybody, and that’s the way we’re going to keep it,” he said.
