Forget Russia, Syria and North Korea for a moment. It looks like President Donald Trump and his administration are facing another existential crisis: organizing the annual White House Easter Egg Roll.

The New York Times has a 1,450-word explainer today that begins with a tweet (what else?) from the makers of the souvenir wooden eggs distributed at the roll to the first couple: "FYI manufacturing deadlines for the Easter eggs are near," said a Twitter post directed at Mr. Trump; the first lady, Melania Trump; and the president's daughter Ivanka Trump. "Please reach out!"

This, according to the Times, is no trivial matter for the leader of the free world.

"Could this White House, plagued by slow hiring and lacking an on-site first lady, manage to pull off the largest, most elaborate and most heavily scrutinized public event of the year?" the nation's paper of record asks.

How bad is it? "Even Curious George and Elmo did not know for sure that the Easter Egg Roll was happening until late last month, when the White House first contacted PBS Kids to ask if it could provide costumed characters," the Times says. "The Easter Egg Roll has been crowded in past years with cast members from "Sesame Street," but this year, there will be a lone emissary."
