The White House hosted its annual Easter Egg Roll on Monday, which is a 139-year-old tradition where children run through the White House South Lawn pushing eggs with long spoons. There's also a terrifying giant Easter bunny involved.

It's a strange tradition.

Trump tweeted this video of his speech on Monday, where this year's monstrous rabbit loomed behind him.

The bunny's face could have something to do with the contents of Trump's speech, which delved into the increased military budget.

And as Dave Itzkoff pointed out, all the talk of violence was happening right next to our sweet holiday guardian.

Others couldn't help but wonder who was inside this year's bunny costume.

But some wondered if the mystery bunny suit wearer was a former staffer trying to get back into the White House.

There's a chance that a certain White House ex is hiding in that costume.

After all, Sean Spicer did don the bunny costume during the Bush administration.

And Twitter users were convinced that they had found the secret costume wearer.

It wouldn't be too far fetched -- Trump appears to be a head taller than the bunny. According to his first formal medical exam, he's 6 foot 3 inches tall. Sean Spicer's IMBd (yes, the former White House press secretary has an IMBd profile) lists him as 5 foot, 5 and-a-half inches tall. Given that the bulky costume adds a few inches, Spicer could be one in the rabbit suit.

After all, when else would Spicer get the chance to hold hands with the president?

Sadly, it appears it wasn't Spicer in the bunny costume, but there's always next year.
