Looks like the W.H. Easter Egg Roll will neither be yuge nor beautiful.

White House sets out to lower egg-spectations for Trump’s last-minute, celebrity-free Easter Egg Roll

The White House is trying to re-calibrate expectations for this year’s White House Easter Egg Roll after the Obama family’s celebrity-heavy events — which last year featured appearances by Beyoncé, athletes from the NBA and NFL and “Frozen” theme song singer Idina Menzel.

When pressed about who will attend, the size of the crowd expected and whether or not First Lady Melania Trump will be on hand, Grisham said, “We would really like the event to speak for itself.”

Musical guests the Martin Family Circus — a Nashville-based family act — told Politico they only heard from the Trump administration a few weeks ago and are still currently unsure where they will be staying in Washington. They also still don’t know where they will park their family RV or how many sets of music they are expected to play.

“I get the impression that things will continue to change up to the day of,” said Paul Martin, father and leader of the group. “We’ll just be along for the ride.”

1. So a tone deaf WH playing it by ear as usual.

Did anyone really expect them to get their act together? Li'l Donnie is off being presidential ordering missile attacks on the fairway. He's too busy to be distracted by Easter eggs.

2. P .... p-p-p ...

Pl ...

P-pla .....

P--p- Planning?

3. It sounds like a disaster already

I want to know who will be in the Bunny suit this year. Will it be Spicer? Bannon? My money's on KellyAnne Conway.
It will be live streaming here:

4. We would really like the event to speak for itself.

Oh it will...volumes

5. Example of how our entire is government is being run.

6. How much will they be charging for admission ?

How much for the spoon rental ?
BYOE -Buy your own eggs ? (obviously , they must be bought on site)

[Doreen]

7. They have to pay for the use of grounds also.

He charges for people to play on his golf courses why not charge for playing on the white house lawn?

8. I have no problem with no celebrities

The Obamas were the most endearing couple we have had in the White House in my lifetime, but I guess I'm old fashioned, 'cause I never really cared for the number of "celebrities" who frequented the White House. I know our leaders have been entwined with celebrities forever - "Happy birthday, Mr. President" being one famous instance - but I'd like a little less of it.

A lower-key Easter Egg Roll for children is just fine with me, especially considering the current president might be getting ready to start WWIII.

10. A good point

But you know the Trump administration has the Obama administration living rent-free in their heads, and the fact that Obama could summon the kind of star power he could has to just rankle Trump. "Yeah, I could out-dunk Michael Jordan, but you know, I'm more about the team game than all that flash," I said, standing at my full 5'11".

12. the Obama's mixed it up with non celebs also. the celebs were to entertain the others

Especially the easter and other holiday events.

[Ilsa]

13. Lower key is fine, but I read that

they are preparing to host significantly smaller crowds. They just don't want to deal with having a big event for the kids.

[BannonsLiver]

17. I'm comfortable with how the Obamas handled the egg hunt

Along with virtually everything else they did for 8 years. We were spoiled.

[duncang]

9. USA Freedom Kids part deux

Somebody will probably forget to sign the check. Even though he isn't paying it.

[briv1016]

11. Sources say they sent senior staffers on an emergency grocery run.

Sounds of microwaves beeping have also been reported.

[beam me up scottie]

14. He makes it sound like Trump doesn't want a celebrity filled extravaganza.

Hell if Twitler thought celebrities would show up he would be planning Easterpalooza and bragging about how it would put Obama's Easter egg rolls to shame.

But as we all know he can't even pay A list celebrities to show up at his events. Unless you count Kid Rock.

[mr_lebowski]

15. Skid Jock is about as A-List as Ted Nugent ... IOW, not even close ...

Guys like Jon Voight, Gary Sinise, and perhaps 70+ y.o. dickhead Gene Simmons (of Kiss) are MAAAAYbe a B-list Rightist celebs.

In fact the only true 'A-List' Rightists I can think of are Clint Eastwood, Sly Stallone, and Ah-nuld.

And realistically ... none of them are all that Right-Wing when compared to the Rushs & Savages & Hannity's of the World. They're more like Goldwater/Nixon-era Republicans.

IOW, not the virulent, evil 'Tea Party' sorts that frequent the RW echo-chamber these days ...

[beam me up scottie]

16. It's the best they can do when it comes to musical entertainers.

I thought it was hilarious that he couldn't get anyone of note to perform at his inauguration.

[elehhhhna]

18. Can't this fuck find a suit that fits? Really? Six inch hanging out your sleeves.

Does he think the white sleeves make his crustacean tiny hands look bigger

[Cha]

19. president of the Losers and Haters Club

20. I feel for the kids who look forward to the annual fest. Will the

SCROTUS read a story to the children? If he does, I am sure it will be hilarious!
