On Monday, Donald Trump hosted the annual White House Easter Egg Roll, which led to lots of headlines like “With the Easter Bunny at his side, Trump won’t stop talking about Iran.”
“I don’t think it gets much more hostile than Iran. They’re capable fighters,” Trump said, as he was flanked by First Lady Melania Trump on one side and the Easter Bunny on the other.
“In a speech to parents and children awaiting the start of the South Lawn festivities, Trump called Easter a day to “celebrate Jesus” and “religion” before veering into a rally-like, rambling speech in which he touched on the U.S. military rescue in Iran and his talk of America being “dead” before he returned to office,” HuffPost wrote about that odd moment.

Many pointed out just how odd the sight was of the president talking belligerently about war, with the Easter Bunny standing next to him. And that was even before Trump could be heard pontificating about Joe Biden’s autopen to a group of small children.

Meanwhile, an account called Iran Military News had a more vulgar reaction to the site of the president and the bunny:
He most likely has raped this bunny too ! https://t.co/r2iioqCfn2

Iran Military News’ bio describes it as “Monitoring Iran’s Military Activities And Capabilities Since 2009” and “Unofficial Media.”
There was also a joke in the replies, implying that Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s latest White House job was to don the bunny costume, among other amused online reactions:
Yeah that ass look backed up!! pic.twitter.com/rKpM3boqOK

Imagine waking up from a coma and the first thing you see is Donald Trump talking about Iranian military strength while the Easter Bunny looks on
