White House Kids’ Day Features Q&A, Activities

During the White House's Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt fielded questions from children of staffers and journalists about President Trump's personal preferences and White House operations. The children asked about Trump's favorite foods (steak and ice cream sundaes), candy preferences (pink Starbursts and Tootsie Rolls), and whether he likes to give hugs, which Leavitt confirmed. Questions also covered more serious topics such as border security, Trump's approach to climate change, and his religion, with Leavitt describing the border as 'the most secure it has ever been' and stating that Trump is Christian. Leavitt noted only one staff departure, referencing a move to a diplomatic role, and said Trump would choose a superpower to instantly solve problems. She described answering the children's questions as both fun and challenging. First Lady Melania Trump hosted arts and crafts activities for the children in the Rose Garden, adding an educational and entertaining element to the event.
