Child's Sharp Question About Donald Trump Delivers Viral Moment At White House
A young child's question to Trump White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt during the White House's annual Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day drew laughs from the room — and a telling response. 'Which is Donald Trump's favorite president — besides himself?' the child asked, prompting an eruption of laughter from the crowd. 'That's a good question, because it would be – uh, probably, himself,' Leavitt replied, a nod to Trump's well-documented self-regard. She then added: 'I think that perhaps he would say George Washington. I know he speaks very highly of George Washington who was, of course, the first president of our great country. And he has his big, beautiful portrait hanging in the Oval Office above the fireplace. Good question.' Q: Who is Trump's favorite president, beside himself?LEAVITT: That's a good question, because it would be probably himself — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 20, 2025 Also in the session, Leavitt dodged another tricky question — about which of Trump's five children (Ivanka, Don Jr., Eric, Tiffany, and Barron) is his favorite. 'That is a very controversial question and I am not going to answer it,' Leavitt said with a grin. 'He loves all of his children very much, and they're all great kids.' In other answers, Leavitt revealed Trump likes to give hugs, his favorite food is 'probably steak,' his favorite ice cream is sundaes with chocolate sauce and toppings and his likely preferred superpower would be to snap his fingers and solve what he believes America's problems to be in an instant.

Trump's sweet tooth: He eats a 'good amount' of candy and likes pink Starbursts and Tootsie Rolls
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has a sweet tooth and his favorites are pink Starbursts and Tootsie Rolls,. So said Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, at a briefing Tuesday for the children of reporters who cover the White House. It was part of a day of activities the White House organized as it observed the annual Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day event. The Republican president and his wife, first lady Melania Trump, also held separate events of their own. One child asked Leavitt about Trump's daily candy consumption. She characterized his intake as a 'good amount' and added that 'he likes pink Starburst and Tootsie Rolls.' A few questions touched on administration policy, such as the state of the U.S.-Mexico border and what Trump is willing to do about climate change. But even more questions were about his favorite foods and they lead Leavitt to share that Trump also likes to eat a 'big, beautiful steak,' ice cream sundaes with chocolate sauce and some toppings, and hamburgers and fries from McDonald's. She appeared to be stumped by a few of the inquiries, including about the president's favorite soccer player and his favorite child. Trump has five adult children. 'That is a very controversial question and I'm not going to answer it,' Leavitt said after the laughter subsided. 'I know he loves all of his children very much, and they're all great kids.' Earlier Tuesday, the first lady joined a few dozen children whose parents work in the Executive Office of the President in decorating wooden American flags. She used a glue stick to attach two silver glittery stars to her red, white and blue flag after she took her seat at one of two tables in the Jaqueline Kennedy Garden on the South Lawn. The first lady admired the children's work and told several that their creations were 'beautiful.' The president visited Capitol Hill early Tuesday to rally House Republican lawmakers around a tax cuts and spending bill he wants Congress to pass. He'd been scheduled to have a public event with children on the South Lawn after he returned but the White House decided against press coverage after all. An aide later shared on social media a clip of the president doing his dance in front of some children outside the south entrance to the Executive Mansion. ___

First lady Melania Trump welcomes children to White House for work day celebration
First lady Melania Trump welcomed a number of children of White House employees to The People's House on Tuesday afternoon. The "White House Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" featured an array of activities scattered around the complex for children of all ages to take part in the fun. The first lady greeted children in the East Garden, assisting the kids with decorating American flags. Children drew on the wooden flags with red and blue markers. They also added star stickers as well as small and fluffy red, white, and blue pom-pom balls. The first lady was seen donning a white button-up blouse along with a floral pencil skirt. Many children were seen sporting "Gulf of America" Navy hats with "45-47" embroidered in red on the side. On Monday, President Donald Trump signed the Take it Down Act alongside the first lady, who has been championing the issue since her husband's inauguration. The bill punishes internet abuse involving nonconsensual and explicit imagery. The first lady also scored a big win for her "Be Best" initiative, securing a $25 million foster youth investment to be included in the president's 2026 fiscal year budget. Mrs. Trump has been very active in hosting a variety of recent events at the White House. Ahead of Mother's Day, the first lady honored military moms by hosting moms serving the nation in uniform, the mothers of service members and mothers whose spouses serve in the U.S. Armed Forces. The first lady also paid tribute to the late Barbara Bush in a stamp dedication ceremony, hosting former Bush staffers along with family and friends. "The unveiling of this commemorative stamp honors Barbara Bush's contributions as first lady and her enduring impact on our nation," Melania Trump said at the time.
