Donald Trump gave a little life advice to children of the White House press corps and White House staff from the South Lawn on Thursday.

“Never take drugs, don’t drink alcohol, don’t smoke. Enjoy your life. OK?” the president told the children, saying he’s told Ivanka Trump that so many times she told him to stop saying it.

The president also commented on the name of the event, Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.

“It’s a very special day, officially called take our daughters and our sons to work day, right? That’s the politically correct term, and we always have to be politically correct, right?”

Trump reserved his criticism for the White House press corps, at least, most of it. He told the children sometimes journalists take pictures of him that make his chin look bad.

“Sometimes I wish they could make me look a little bit better,” the president joked. “Sometimes I think they do it on purpose actually. Always my chin is pulled in, I look terrible, but that’s OK.”

Earlier in the day, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders held an off-the-record briefing with children of the White House press corps Thursday morning. Sanders tweeted a short video of the children of White House staffers and reporters.

Twitter had some thoughts:

Ahahahahahahahaha!!

The president of a nation telling kids that photojournalists manipulate his image to make him look bad?

Boy, that’s buckets of KFC, not photojournalists!

Maybe potus needs to look in the mirror? It isn't the photo that looks fat, orange, sloppy, tiny-handed, etc. It is HIM.
