It’s every kid’s dream: Meet the president, maybe paint an Easter egg, hear all about a right-wing conspiracy that claims the past president’s use of autopen invalidates his major policy achievements even though the current president — the one rambling right now — has also used autopen.

President Donald Trump did his best to woo a table full of kids at the White House Easter Egg Roll Monday by talking about former President Joe Biden’s use of autopen.

Just like a large segment of the rest of the country, they were more confused than enthralled. In the words of one enterprising kid at the table, “What?”

President Trump: You know, Biden would use the autopen.

Random kid: What?

Trump wrapped up his time at the table by signing his name on a piece of paper and showing it to the “fake news” behind him, apparently to demonstrate his competency as commander in chief.

At Trump’s urging, former Attorney General Pam Bondi last year initiated a review of the Biden administration’s use of autopen, but it doesn’t seem to have gained much traction.

A concurrent investigation in the House similarly failed to yield concrete results. Adding insult to injury, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) was caught having staffers digitally sign legal documents on his behalf — in some cases on letters and subpoenas sent in furtherance of his investigation into Biden for the same behavior.

After he left the kids’ table, President Trump fielded questions from reporters where he threatened to commit war crimes in Iran while the Easter bunny awkwardly stood nearby.
