Trump yucks it up with the kids at egg roll, mocking Biden over autopen

April 7, 2026 | | Print Article

Yucking it up with youngsters found President Donald Trump in top form for Easter, including landing a dig on his predecessor’s infamous signature scandal.

Monday at the White House, the ongoing annual tradition of the Easter Egg Roll continued, and, unlike when President Joe Biden needed a bunny-suited hand-holder to keep from wandering off, the current chief executive had no trouble shifting gears between conversing with the press and the event’s special guests.

It was with the latter — the kids invited to roll eggs, color, and hear stories — that Trump had some of his most viral moments, particularly his decision to bring up the autopen while signing autographs.

While seated at a table with some of the coloring children, the president brought up his two-time opponent and said, “Biden would use the autopen. He’d have an autopen follow him … 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!”

“He’d take the paper, hand it to his guys, sign it with an autopen, give it back. Not too good, right?” Trump went on. A moment earlier, the guests eagerly responded after the president offered, “I could sign autographs for you guys,” before he added, “and then tonight, you could sell them for $25,000 on eBay.”

Aside from pursuing nullification of actions taken by the previous administration via the autopen and exploring any legal consequences for individuals who may have abused executive power, Trump frequently takes the opportunity to highlight the “Weekend at Bernie’s” nature of the former resident-in-chief.

Most notably, the Presidential Walk of Fame features the addition of plaques detailing major disasters overseen by Biden and Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, as well as the unveiling of a portrait to mock the autopen presidency of Biden.

As for the kids, they also jumped at the chance to take home a special souvenir when the leader of the free world asked who wanted a pen.

In addition to discussing the ongoing renovation efforts at the White House, the president took a glowing compliment in stride as one of the kids interjected, “Donald Trump, you’re the best president,” earning the response, “Thank you, honey, I agree,” while also dishing out high compliments for First Lady Melania Trump whom he referred to as a “movie star who came here from Hollywood to be here with mostly egg farmers.”

Of course, the kids celebrating Easter weren’t alone in delighting in Trump’s candor, as, aside from those suffering with TDS, social media reactions admired the president for his sense of humor and the grandfatherly way that he interacted with the children, with some added life lessons. “It’s NEVER too early to teach your kids the value and strength of Capitalism!”
