What's weird is that this was a story at all. It's non-news either way.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

Well, it was partly true. He did sign the hat, and the video footage looked like he threw the hat. But the kid did manage to recover it.

Trump at an Easter Egg roll is non-news, but it is the kind of non-news that makes the news all the time. They are called "photo opportunities" because photos/videos are really all that are going to come out of them.
I think that the stronger non-news story to come out of this is how Trump's makeup is so much less noticeable these days, as the video demonstrates in natural light. This indicates that Trump has realized that the clown look wasn't doing it for him, and THAT indicates that he is not, as all previous evidence indicated, too stupid to ever change.The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty…we will be remembered in spite of ourselves… The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the last generation… We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.
