President Trump Bragged About the Border Wall to a Group of Children at the Easter Egg Roll

NOT the Onion!

President Trump Bragged About the Border Wall to a Group of Children at the Easter Egg Roll
By Shannon Pettypiece and Alyza Sebenius / Bloomberg 2:34 PM EDT

President Donald Trump used the opportunity of the White House Easter Egg Roll to address some of his youngest supporters about one of his signature policy initiatives: building a wall on the southern U.S. border.

“Oh it’s happening, it’s being built now,” Trump told a group of children as he colored pictures with them on Monday in celebration of Easter on the White House’s South Lawn.

“Here’s a young guy just said ‘keep building that wall.’ Do you believe it? He’s going to be a conservative someday,” the president said.

in public education - most of it in elementary schools.

We learned what to watch for - who would "impress" kids, who would be "awkward" around them, and who to KEEP AWAY FROM THEM!!!!!

Guess where IQ45 would have been placed?

Shame on ANYBODY allowing that flaming idiot within 20 miles of any child!

Like I said earlier, anybody allowing their child near that creep should be charged with child abuse - just like those that would allow their children to stay with Michael Jackson - WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?!?!?!

And this creep is the leader of our country?

MY GAWD, HOW FAR WE HAVE FALLEN!

He's "president" now and by all indications has been deemed to be above the law, so why wait ten years? Maybe he just points out the ones he likes to his minions, and they go have a word with the parents and make arrangements...if they are MAGAts, they're probably totally OK with their God Emperor fucking their children; they'd see it as an honor.
