Source: Bloomberg

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

Trump continues to push controversial policies to halt migration from Central America. The administration’s botched efforts have ranged from separating migrant children from their families to ultimatums against Mexico that have proved too costly to enforce.

Asshole!

Is EVERYTHING, even a children’s Easter party, an opportunity for him to spew his hate?

And you, of tender years,
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.

Remember when Obama preached to kids the benefits of same-sex marriage during the White House Easter Egg Hunt?

Yeah, me neither. Obama wasn't a total and complete moron.
