Trump’s America – Episode #13 – Tomahawk Missiles & Easter Eggs

New Trump Easter Egg

By Arthur Piccolo

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Thurs. April 13, 2017: It could be a Tomahawk missile …..

but it’s the NEW Trump 2017 Easter Egg for the Big Roll Monday.

By the way, you can buy the four egg set for just $199 at The White House online store. Yes its real and official too! The White House Store!

Yes, slightly distorted by me to look like a missile but that is the point.

This week’s episode is mixing up missiles and Easter eggs for you because Trump and the media are. Trump just learned a valuable lesson …

See what you can do as President with the U.S. military at your command. Tell them to launch 59 Tomahawk missiles one night at a Syrian air base for $100 MILLION and change the entire discussion.

NOW The New York Times is doing a front page story about the first Trump Easter Egg Roll turning that into a “controversy” and poor CNN – the Comedy News Network – does not know what to do since  they can’t get away with discussing the phantom Russian Trump conspiracy to win the election.

Right now as I write my EARLY episode to keep my publisher happy for Easter (after all she signs my big pay check.) President Donald Trump is holding a press conference on CNN and the other networks presenting himself as a Great Brave International Leader fighting Evil around the world and there is enough truth in that message right now so that Trump’s ratings and likewise his standing with the media are soaring out of the dumps.

In fact, Trump is even making FORMER President Obama look very bad for doing nothing while Syrian Mad Man Assad bombed and murdered hundreds of thousands of Syrians – if some counts are accurate. Then President Trump takes over launches 59 Tomahawk missiles. Everything changes for him.

Unfortunately, the rest of us and most of all the Syrians under attack may have not gotten much for those $100 MILLION of U.S. taxpayer dollars. They only hit one of many Syrian military airfields and even at this one airfield they only destroyed maybe 20 airplanes and by the next day it was back to business as usual for Assad there and bombs away once again.

But for Donald Trump the missiles worked wonders. Not only does CNN not know what to do neither do the so called Democratic Party leaders like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi who don’t have a Clue about anything.

As for Russia yes certainly a bad actor on the world stage and now the Democrats have proven that Trump can score points by attacking the Russians too and shutting up the Democrats and CNN.

NOW let’s get down to serious business on the front page of The New York Times today Wednesday the annual White House Easter Egg Roll! Their story is titled “Rush To Right A Right of Spring” in the paper edition and online  ….

more ominously ….

“The Latest Test for the White House? Pulling Off Its Easter Egg Roll”

So let’s get down to the details of The Times Easter egg  investigation ..

“President Trump received an urgent warning in February, informing him of a crucial date he was about to miss.”

“FYI manufacturing deadlines for the Easter eggs are near,” said a Twitter post directed at Mr. Trump; the first lady, Melania Trump; and the president’s daughter Ivanka Trump. “Please reach out!”

That’s right – there was FEAR President Trump could not even manage one of his most urgent responsibilities Easter at The White House.

Read on …

“By early March, the White House announced that the roll was on — Monday, to be exact — and soon followed up with a rush order for the wooden eggs.”

THANK GOD!

“By that time, the ovoid uncertainty had raised a question perhaps not as consequential as investigations into Russian interference in the presidential election, a legally dubious travel ban and a collapsed health care bill, but no less a window into the inner workings of the Trump administration: Could this White House, plagued by slow hiring and lacking an on-site first lady, manage to pull off the largest, most elaborate and most heavily scrutinized public event of the year?”

BRAVO First Lady! And if you don’t think this is important think again …

“It’s the single most high-profile event that takes place at the White House each year, and the White House and the first lady are judged on how well they put it on,” said Melinda Bates, who organized eight years of Easter Egg Rolls as director of the White House Visitors Office under President Bill Clinton. “I’m really concerned for the Trump people, because they have failed to fill some really vital posts, and this thing is all hands on deck.”

ENCORE …

“It’s the single most high-profile event that takes place at the White House each year, and the White House and the first lady are judged on how well they put it on,”

In other words you don’t handle the Easter Egg Roll, well TROUBLE. It had been determined by unnamed authorities that the Easter Egg Roll is far, far more than what it appears it is – a test of Presidential LEADERSHIP that will tell us how well President Trump will do on all other issues.

So get ready FORGET about all the other stuff get ready for the Egg Roll this coming Monday it is so important President Trump will only make a brief Easter trip to Mar-a-Lago to play golf and rush back Sunday evening.

The Big Question is will CNN cover it or boycott the Easter Egg Roll?

Let’s get back to the NYT investigative article there is much more it is NOT all good news for President Trump. Look what The Times uncovered ….

“The late start in planning by the Trump White House points to a smaller and less ambitious Egg Roll than in previous years. There may be half as many guests, a fraction of the number of volunteers to manage the invasion of the South Lawn, and military bands in place of A-list entertainers like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Idina Menzel and Silentó who have performed for Egg Rolls past.”

That’s right and you read it here in Trump’s America!

Read this …

“White House officials did not respond to several weeks’ worth of inquiries about the Easter Egg Roll, typically a heavily and enthusiastically promoted affair, and declined to provide basic information such as how many people are expected to attend. It is unclear, for instance, whether Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, will reprise his appearance in a bunny suit for the event, as he did a decade ago when George W. Bush was President”

How good is The New York Times at investigative journalism read this …

“The evidence points to a quickly thrown-together affair that people close to the planning said would probably draw about 20,000 people — substantially smaller than last year’s Easter Egg Roll, which drew 37,000. It will be staffed by 500 volunteers, Ms. Grisham said, half the usual. Ms. Grisham said she did not have “firm numbers” on the overall number of attendees, and those who provided estimates did so on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to describe the plans for the Easter Egg Roll, which are still evolving just a week before the event.”
Again ….

“The evidence points to a quickly thrown-together affair that people close to the planning said would probably draw about 20,000 people — substantially smaller than last year’s Easter Egg Roll, which drew 37,000.”

Question is this fair criticism or The Times just trying to make Barack and Michelle look good again. They do not point out that last year was The Obamas’ EIGHT Easter Egg Roll. Imagine if Trump makes it that far, Trump’s supporters will suggest he will blow away the Obama numbers.

Now listen to this scandal the Times uncovered ..

“Members of Congress have not received word from the White House about whether they will get tickets to distribute to their constituents. One aide to a Republican lawmaker said White House officials “seem to be a bit behind schedule.”

No wonder President Trump is having so much trouble with Congress.

Still The Times ends the article with an encouraging  quote from an expert for President Trump and The First Lady to heed …

“If you can pull off an Easter Egg Roll,” she said, “you can do anything.”

ANYTHING!!!!! Be a GREAT President?????

So in the spirit of Easter let’s put aide all our differences Republicans, Democrats, Aliens for the next few days and PRAY for Donald & Melania.

White House Easter Eggs should rise above partisanship and bring yes all of us together even if ever so briefly and please don’t forget you can buy the Official Set of Four White House Easter Eggs for just $199.

Order them before they sell out as they will at The White House Store.

Happy Easter and Passover from Trump’s America!
