Many children at the annual White House Easter egg roll believe in the Easter Bunny, but on Monday President Trump encountered a child who also apparently is a believer in his border wall.

While Mr. Trump was helping the children at the annual event color cards for service members, a child asked him about building the wall on the southern border.

“I will,” Mr. Trump told the boy. “Oh, it’s happening. It’s being built now.”



Mr. Trump then turned to the media and said, “Here’s a young guy who said ’Keep building that wall,’ can you believe that?’ He’s going to be a conservative someday!”
