President Donald Trump kicked off the White House\u2019s annual Easter Egg Roll on Monday by lauding egg supplies, Jesus, and the military\u2019s accomplishments in the ongoing Iranian war.<\/p>\n
“Today is a very special day. It’s a day where we celebrate Jesus. It’s a day where we celebrate religion,\u201d he said, while standing beside the first lady and someone dressed as the Easter Bunny.<\/p>\n
Trump, while launching the children\u2019s event, boasted that the U.S. is doing better than ever before.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just want to say we have a great military, we\u2019ve the greatest military, most powerful military of anyplace in the world,\u201d 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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s claimed resurrection under his leadership.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne year ago, a little bit more, our country was dead. We had a dead country. We had an administration that didn\u2019t know what the hell they were doing. Today we have the hottest country of anywhere in the world, respected by everybody, and that\u2019s the way we\u2019re going to keep it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Donald Trump kicked off the White House\u2019s annual Easter Egg Roll on Monday by lauding egg supplies,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":385030,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[61,151033,60,82,247],"class_list":{"0":"post-385029","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-space","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-iran-war","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-science","12":"tag-space"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385029"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385029\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/385030"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385029"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
