During the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday, President Donald Trump shared a heartwarming interaction with a young boy before taking a jab at his predecessor, former President Joe Biden.
Trump settled at a picnic table to observe children decorating pictures of a White House Easter setting. As he sat, a boy passing by expressed his admiration, saying, “Donald Trump, you’re the best President.”
“Thank you, honey, I agree,” Trump responded with a smile.
Engaging with the children around him, Trump offered to sign autographs, adding a humorous twist, “And then tonight, you could tell them for $25,000 on eBay.”
He also told the children gathered around him, ‘I can sign autographs for you guys.’
‘And then tonight, you could tell them for $25,000 on eBay,’ Trump added.
That comment inspired him to start talking about Biden.
‘You know Biden, would use the autopen,’ he said. ‘He’d have an autopen, Joe Biden. He was incapable of signing his name. So they’d follow him around with a big machine.’

Trump has obsessed with Biden’s use of the autopen – using a photograph of the machine in place of the Democrat’s portrait in his outdoor Presidential Walk of Fame, which surrounds the White House Rose Garden.
The President was joined by his family at the annual Easter Egg Roll, held on the White House’s vast South Lawn.
Son Eric and his wife Lara brought their children Luke, eight, and Carolina, six.
Tiffany Trump was with her husband Michael Boulos and their young son Alexander, 10 months.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who is pregnant with her second child, brought along one-year-old son Niko.
Stephen Miller and his wife Katie Miller, who helms a conservative podcast, were stationed at the Egg Roll game when the President and First Lady arrived.
Other administration officials were also on hand, including Kash Patel and his country singer girlfriend Alexis Wilkins, who had to weave through the crush of reporters to get to the event, also Dan Scavino and his new wife Erin Elmore.
Republican Representative Mike Lawler brought his family and posed for photos with the First Lady at her Be Best ring toss game, stationed close to the main Egg Roll game.

President Donald Trump walked around the South Lawn talking to reporters about the war in Iran during Monday’s White House Easter Egg Roll
The President spent a portion of the Easter Egg Roll walking around to reporters and giving updates on the war in Iran.
Trump was asked by one reporter why he chose to use ‘vulgar’ language in Sunday’s Truth Social post, which coincided with Easter Sunday, to blast the Iranians for not reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
‘Open the f***in’ Strait,’ the President had instructed.
Trump bristled at the question at the family-friendly event.
‘Only to make my point,’ he answered. ‘I think you’ve heard it before.’
