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.' 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.

(Photo: AP) President Donald Trump has a sweet tooth and his favourites 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 organised 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. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD One child asked Leavitt about Trump's daily candy consumption. She characterised 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 US-Mexico border and what Trump is willing to do about climate change. But even more questions were about his favourite foods and they led 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 favourite soccer player and his favourite 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 Jacqueline 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 later decided against press coverage.

Cutest White House press briefing ever: Kids of staffers, media get to ask the questions
'How much candy does Trump eat a day?' and 'if the president had a superpower what would it be?' are just some of the burning questions that White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt fielded during a briefing with a group of children on Tuesday. The mock briefing was a part of 'Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day' during which the White House hosted the kids of staffers and journalists. Leavitt began the briefing by introducing herself to the room full of children, who were in the briefing room taking the seats normally filled by journalists. 'My job at the White House is to communicate the president's message to the American people and to answer questions from journalists who work in this building everyday, many of whom are your moms and your dads,' Leavitt said. She then gave an update on what President Donald Trump did on Tuesday, before opening the floor to questions. The group asked a variety of questions directed at Leavitt herself and about Trump. While most of the questions were fun and lighthearted, a few were a little more hard-hitting. One of the kids in the group asked Leavitt what Trump's favorite food is, to which she said it is probably steak, adding that 'he loves to eat a big beautiful steak.' Leavitt was also asked what the president's favorite ice cream is. The press secretary shared that she has seen him eat ice cream sundaes with chocolate sauce and toppings. She asked the group of children to raise their hands if they like ice cream sundaes and said 'it's a very popular policy position to have.' While a lot of the questions asked were fun, there were a few of a more serious nature. As the briefing wound down, one boy, asked 'what is Trump going to do about climate change?' Leavitt said that Trump cares a lot about the environment and that he wants to have the cleanest air and the cleanest water. She also spoke about energy and how Trump cares about energy independence and producing energy in the U.S. Other questions included 'what is the state of the border?' and 'how many people has he fired?' When asked 'who is Donald Trump's favorite president, besides himself?' Leavitt responded by saying 'good question because it would be probably himself.' She did add that she thinks it would be George Washington. One little girl asked Leavitt 'How much candy does Trump eat a day?' to which the press secretary simply responded, 'a good amount.' To the question, 'If the president had a superpower what would it be?' Leavitt said it would be to be able to snap his fingers and solve all of the country's problems. Some of the questions asked by the junior 'press corps' were directed toward Leavitt herself. One of the girls asked Leavitt how she balances having a baby and working as the president's press secretary. Leavitt started her answer by sharing that her baby boy was there with her mom and said 'it is a challenge everyday but it is a blessing to have this opportunity and to be a mom.' She added that she has to work hard and rely on her support system in order to do it all. Leavitt was also asked 'What advice would you give to young girls who want to achieve their dreams?' The advice Leavitt gave was to work as hard as you possibly can and to pursue every opportunity that is given to you. Another question that was asked was about what the 'funnest' and 'hardest' parts of Leavitt's job are. She said she likes being in the briefing room answering questions, but added that's also the hardest part of her job. One of the kids asked Leavitt what her least favorite news outlet is. The press secretary laughed at the question and said 'it depends on the day.'
