President Donald Trump had fun interacting with a group of children of the White House reporters whom he hosted at the Oval Office ahead of his first Halloween Party as the US President. As he handed out candies to the children, who were all dressed up for the Halloween, Mr Trump did not forget to crack jokes on the media.
“I cannot believe the media produced such beautiful children,” he remarked, evoking laughter. “How the media did this, I don’t know,” Mr Trump said, as he asked the children to come around the Resolute desk for a photograph.
Mr Trump, who has a complicated relationship with the press, also made some light-hearted banters with the children about their parents’ profession. “You gonna grow up to be like your parents? Mmm?” he asked one child, adding: “Don’t answer. That can only get me in trouble, that question.”
“So, how does the press treat you? I bet you get treated better by the press than anybody in the world,” he said. Pointing at the reporters , he asked the children, “Do you know who they are? They are the friendly media.” Handing out candies, he told them, “Well, you have no weight problems, that’s the good news...Take whatever you need”
