People were stunned on Tuesday after President Donald Trump started touting his unpopular Iran war and discussing it in front of a group of children in the Oval Office.
The kids were at the White House to celebrate Trump's signing of a proclamation to restore the Presidential Fitness Test award, and in the press briefing, the president ranted about trans athletes in youth sports, then attempted to make his case for the Middle East conflict.
Media experts were astounded by Trump's comments, with some calling out the president for his misinformation and decision to talk with children about adult topics.
"He’s the LeBron James of being weird around kids," political commentator Evan loves Worf wrote on X.
"These are lies. And children are being exposed," Scott MacFarlane, MeidasTouch chief Washington correspondent, wrote on X.
"T***p's third term can be Santa Claus at the mall where unsuspecting children could sit on his lap all day long," author Joyce Carol Oates wrote on X.
"He needs an R rating," Heather Thomas, actor and activist, wrote on X.
"I thought the whole ~*thing*~ the right was mad about for years was kids being made aware that some people transition," media strategist Ari Drennen wrote on X.
"Get the children away from him," Juliet Jeske, journalist and writer of the Substack Decoding Fox News, wrote on X.
