Many in the White House press corps have a raging case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
It flared up again when the White House released images of the commemorative eggs that will be available for purchase to celebrate the annual White House Easter Egg roll.
Pastel versions of the official egg are $8.50. A gold version is $14.95.
The eggs will feature the signature of President Trump and First lady Melania Trump.
The seemingly innocuous announcement triggered public hackles from mainstream media reporters.
New York Times reporter Julie Davis: “Forget those silly pastel/rainbow colors of White House East Egg Rolls past; Trump’s Easter eggs will be GOLD.”
And left-wing Politico couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get a dig in, either. Reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere was apparently offended that there would be gold eggs, and that they would be “selling them at a $6 premium.”
Not only is the Trump White House making Easter eggs gold, but announcing it in all CAPS, and selling them at a $6 premium https://t.co/60jqZ8tCAo

But it turns out the Trump-hating reporters have egg on their faces: Obama sold gold eggs first.
After firing off her initial tweet, Julie Davis actually did some research and discovered gold eggs were available for sale last year:
Davis conceded the gold eggs are “not a Trump innovation.”
Were the reporters so upset or sarcastic when Obama sold them last year?
And suddenly they're all perfectly Ok with it. Amazing.
Dumb reporters can't get the smallest detail right. And now the Dems are blaming all the fake news on.....wait for it....RUSSIA.
So, NYT, it’s “silly” if it was Trump’s idea to have gold eggs, but INNOVATIVE if it wasn’t his idea. Got it.
Why are their signatures the same?
Make the egg roll pay for itself. Why not? Zero sum government in action. I think if I ever had children participate in one, I’d like a commemorative egg.
A reporter reports the who/what/where/when/how of an event.
A journalist is a 12 year old girl writing fantasy in her diary.
One’s written in Slovenian.................
Looks like they both are. Worse than a doctor’s signature.
What reporters? These people are just hack propagandists.
He should have used “Fabergé Eggs”, just to get the Press to point out the Russian connection.
And not very good ones at that......................
Exactly! They’re hacks. 3rd rate at their primary job of propagandizing.
The President and First Lady are Making Easter Great Again. America deserves an Easter with gold eggs.
(By the way, I love how Mr. and Mrs. Trump got together on the style of their signatures, if only for the Easter egg. It’s a nice effect.)
