Children were told to ‘build the wall’ at White House Halloween party
WASHINGTON — A Halloween party on Oct. 25 at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building featured candy, paper airplanes and — concerning for some attendees — a station where children were encouraged to help “Build the Wall” with their own personalized bricks.
Photos of the children’s mural with the paper wall were provided to Yahoo News.
The party, which took place inside the office building used by White House staff, included the families of executive-branch employees and VIP guests inside and outside government. Even though many of the attendees were members of President Trump’s administration, not everyone thought the Halloween game was a treat.
“Horrified. We were horrified,” said a person who was there and requested anonymity to avoid professional retaliation.
The Eisenhower Executive Office Building stands across from the White House and houses a large portion of the West Wing support staff and is home to the vice president’s ceremonial office. The “Build the Wall” mural was on the first floor, outside the speechwriter’s office and next to the office of digital strategy and featured red paper bricks, each bearing the name of a child.
Large letters on the display spelled out “Build the Wall.” Kids dressed as superheroes and ninjas were given brick-colored paper cards and told to write their name with a marker and tape them to the wall. Alongside the paper wall were signs including one that read “America First,” a slogan often used by President Trump that had been criticized because it was previously employed by the Ku Klux Klan.
Earlier in the week offices inside the EEOB had been instructed to put together kid-friendly displays for trick-or-treaters. The displays were supposed to be interactive and inspiring, and all were supposed to address the party’s theme: “When I grow up I want to be…”

Gotta love Crooked donnie's administration's exploration of children.
I think you meant exploitation, which of course is not true.

So I spelled a word wrong..OMG...
This is about Crooked donnie, nice whataboutism.
For the record, the "mother" is certifiable, but again, nice whataboutism
We are talking about Crooked donnie's scumbag administration, using children to promote a fucking wall that is totally ineffective and can be cut through with a sawsall
He is finding that adults are wise to his bs, so he wants to indoctrinate children. If I had a child and that child was part of this, I would be going after the school administrators for sanctioning this.
When I grow up I want to be…” A mason, I love it.

Absolute indoctrination of propaganda, using and exploiting children. The GOP in a nutshell.
Like those "cherdren" at the border everyone seems to have forgotten? That kind of exploitation? Damned GOP. /s
