The holiday pairing led to an outpouring of comments online, as viewers joked about the Trump-Bunny buddy duo—and wondered who could possibly be inside the large, fuzzy costume. (Although he’s appeared in bunny [costume before](http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/04/16/sean-spicer-dressed-easter-bunny-president-george-bush-white-house-egg-roll), it wasn’t Press Secretary Sean Spicer, as he had a different task: [reading to kids](http://time.com/4742596/sean-spicer-easter-reading/) on the South Lawn.)
