<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">WASHINGTON—First Lady Melania Trump and President Donald Trump partook in one of the oldest White House traditions on Monday morning as they hosted the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. </span></p>
<p>The president and first lady greeted their guests from the Blue Room Balcony overlooking the South Lawn, where staff had prepared games and activities for the brightly colored families in attendance. An estimated 30,000 people attended Monday&#8217;s event, according to a member of the First Lady&#8217;s team.</p>
<p>The Daily Wire spotted a number of high-profile Trump administration attendees, including White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, dressed in a long blue lace dress, and accompanied by her husband and her infant son. Stephen Miller and his wife and children also attended the event, as did National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his wife, FBI Director Kash Patel, and others.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re honoring Jesus Christ and we&#8217;re going to honor Jesus Christ very powerfully throughout our lives,&#8221; promised Trump, as he spoke from the Blue Room Balcony. &#8220;Not just now, all throughout our lives. We&#8217;re bringing religion back in America.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump also said that he signed an executive order ordering the flags of the United States at half-mast in honor of Pope Francis, who passed away on Monday morning. &#8220;He was a good man, worked hard. He loved the world. And it&#8217;s an honor to do that.&#8221;</p>

<p>The day&#8217;s festivities included the famous egg roll, a relay race where the children roll eggs across the lawn; a &#8220;Be Best Military Card Writing Station&#8221; that included coloring; a &#8220;Be Best Hopscotch,&#8221; and the Reading Nook, where Melania Trump read aloud to a large group from the children&#8217;s book &#8220;Bunny With A Big Heart.&#8221;</p>
<p>The president took questions from the media as he entered the event, joking about the 2022 event where the Easter Bunny appeared to lead President Joe Biden to his appropriate spot as the president looked confused and lost.</p>
<p>“Remember when the bunny took Joe Biden out?&#8221; asked Trump, leaning close to the Easter Bunny as he added, &#8220;He’s not taking Trump out!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That was a beautiful moment,&#8221; he added. &#8220;When the bunny saved Joe Biden.”</p>
<p>His wife laughed and smiled, and moved on to interact with the children, who gathered around her and chatted with the First Lady. She focused on the activities and the children throughout the course of her time at the Easter Egg roll, only interacting with the media once to express condolences over Pope Francis&#8217;s death.</p>
<p>Trump, meanwhile, spoke with reporters several times in between coloring with the children, high-fiving youngsters, and complimenting his wife: &#8220;You know who she is?&#8221; he asked the children. &#8220;First Lady of the United States of America!”</p>
<p>The president joined a table full of youngsters coloring, focusing on coloring his own picture. He looked up and said emphatically, &#8220;I&#8217;m really into this!&#8221; to the delight of those around him.</p>

<p>&#8220;Religion, I said bring religion back,&#8221; he told Real America&#8217;s Voice&#8217;s Brian Glenn, discussing his opening remarks about Easter and the death of Pope Francis. &#8220;Religion keeps you together. It&#8217;s such a great thing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Many of the activities are part of Melania Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Be Best&#8221; campaign, focused on the importance of social, emotional, and physical health of children. Mrs. Trump started this campaign during the first Trump administration and continues to focus her energy on the project. The Hopscotch at the event, for example, was decorated with eggs that read &#8220;brave,&#8221; &#8220;caring,&#8221; &#8220;smart,&#8221; or &#8220;kind.&#8221;</p>

<div dir="auto">The First Lady joined the children and encouraged them as they jumped through the hopscotch eggs, chatting with them and with the Easter Bunny, who had followed her to the station.

<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">“Happy Easter! What a beautiful crowd!” she said with a smile as she sat down. After reading the book, she asked the children what they learned, and then listened as they responded.</div>
