The bias in the media against President Donald Trump shows up in unexpected ways. On Tuesday the official White House Easter eggs for the annual Easter egg roll were revealed online. The wooden eggs were in pastel colors with one gold colored egg that bears the embossed signatures of the president and First Lady Melania Trump.

New York Times White House correspondent Julia Davis jumped ugly on a photo of the ‘gold’ egg with the First Couple’s signatures, exclaiming, “Forget those silly pastel/rainbow colors of White House Easter Egg Rolls past; Trump’s Easter eggs will be GOLD”

Davis searched and found a photo of last year’s White House Easter egg’s that showed that then-President Barack Obama issued… a gold Easter egg.
Appears my memory of Easter Egg Rolls past was wrong. Seems Obamas had a golden egg too — not a Trump innovation https://t.co/zectzLccyC

But the White House press corps is not biased.
