In a refreshing twist, children finally asked the White House Press Secretary questions that actually matter – like what kind of ice cream the President prefers and how many people he’s fired so far.

Kids Ask Better Questions Than the Press Corps
The White House press room finally got some intelligent questions this week as a group of children took over for the usual suspects during “Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.” In what was undoubtedly the most refreshing and honest press briefing in recent memory, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt fielded inquiries that cut right to the heart of what Americans really want to know – like what kind of ice cream President Trump enjoys and if he’s fired anyone yet. A welcome break from the endless “gotcha” questions about border invasions, inflation, and whatever other catastrophes the Biden administration left behind.
The children’s questions offered a delightful glimpse into what normal Americans actually care about, free from the partisan agenda-driven nonsense that typically dominates press briefings. When’s the last time you heard Jim Acosta ask about ice cream preferences? Instead of trying to manufacture the next scandal, these kids were refreshingly direct. Of course, someone’s little social justice warrior-in-training did manage to sneak in a climate change question, but even that was handled with more grace than the usual shrieking we get from the environmental lobby.
Trump’s Ice Cream and Superpowers
One of the more pressing national security matters addressed during the briefing involved the commander-in-chief’s dessert preferences. When asked about Trump’s favorite ice cream, Leavitt didn’t hesitate to provide this critical information to the American people. “I have seen the president eat ice cream sundaes before, with chocolate sauce, and some toppings, too,” she revealed, demonstrating far more transparency than we ever got during the previous administration. Another hard-hitting reporter wanted to know what superpower Trump would choose if given the option.
“Wow. If the president could have a superpower, what would it be? That is a very good question. I think, if he had a superpower, it would be to just snap his fingers and solve all of our country’s problems just like that, because he likes to get things done very quickly.” – Karoline Leavitt
The superpower question is particularly relevant given the speed at which Trump is already working to undo the damage from the previous four years. Who needs supernatural abilities when you’ve already got a track record of getting things done? Still, the ability to snap his fingers and immediately fix America’s problems would certainly come in handy after the absolute dumpster fire he inherited. Maybe we could loan him Doctor Strange’s Time Stone to go back and prevent the 2020 election debacle.
“You’re Fired” Count Surprisingly Low
Perhaps the most shocking revelation came when a young attendee asked how many people Trump has fired so far – a reasonable question given his famous catchphrase from “The Apprentice.” Leavitt’s answer might disappoint reality TV fans: “Thus far, actually, we have not had anyone fired, with the exception of one individual who did leave their job. But we have a great team here, so far, so good.” – Karoline Leavitt
Just one termination so far? That’s showing remarkable restraint given the bloated bureaucracy Trump inherited. Let’s hope that number increases substantially once he really gets going on draining the swamp. The Deep State operatives embedded throughout the government should be updating their resumes right about now. Meanwhile, First Lady Melania Trump hosted children in the Kennedy Garden for some good old-fashioned American crafts, guiding them in decorating wooden American flags – teaching patriotism instead of pronouns, what a concept!
While the kids’ press briefing was mostly lighthearted, it inadvertently highlighted just how absurd the regular press corps has become. These children asked more straightforward, honest questions than the “professionals” who spend their days trying to manufacture controversies and push narratives. Maybe we should let the kids take over permanently – the quality of discourse would certainly improve, and Americans might actually learn something useful about their government for a change.
