This week, during a health care affordability event in the Oval Office, a toddler named Travis went viral for making himself comfortable on a White House rug.
Trump called him a “beautiful boy” and, later, the White House X account had some fun in a post about Travis.
“ALMOST FRIDAY,” the post said, with a picture of Travis lying face down on the floor.
