First daughter and senior White House advisor Ivanka Trump offered a suggestion for bored Americans to do during the COVID-19 shutdowns.
She suggested people, “try making shadow puppets from Henry Bursill’s recently unearthed 1860’s book of engraving.”
At least two Twitter users offered photos of a shadow made by a hand, but they were not shaped as an animal.

They’re having a private concert by Kid Rock and Ted Nugent later, with a special appearance by Sarah Palin in a banana costume.

This was a great tweet urging people to stay home and practice social distancing. Could you explain why you didn’t follow it over Passover? We too would have loved to spend the holiday with our family, but like most people we chose not to this year. https://t.co/sXbqJiJXwp
