One of the oldest White House traditions, the annual Easter Egg Roll has brought happy, shining families together since the late 1800s.
This year, however, it was clear things weren’t as chipper as the Easter celebrations under, say, Barack Obama‘s presidency.
Of course, the Internet was watching.
The event’s crowd wasn’t as big (above), Spicer’s storytelling not as vivid and, well, Trump had the audacity to throw some kid’s hat into the crowd – and laughed about it:
