Well if a four year old can be the vice president because of his rich dad, then why not this kid for a secret service?!

Nick Jr really is coming out with crazy new ideas...

Trump and Elon recently cut cancer funding, by the way.

Yeah, I'm done following you. No clue why I did in the first place. Sycophantic crap disguised as journalism.

Like all dictators he loves the sound of his own voice. He just goes on and on…

Even though Trump is using this boy's story for his narcissistic purposes, it is still a good thing for that boy.

Best wishes, young man. I truly hope that one day you will be able to achieve your dreams.

Is it? Being used as a prop by the president and your own parents allowing it? Gross.

I agree, but I was looking at it from his perspective, having gone through so much already. The expression on his face shows what it meant to him. Hopefully, he will someday be able to look back and decide for himself if it was a good thing.🤞

Hi there! Trump and Musk are decimating cancer research funding. The administration is in contempt of court for not restoring allocated NIH research dollars for cancer and other diseases. Musk is firing cancer researchers.

My heart goes out to this little boy, but please contextualize your commentary and reporting.

Who cares. How about the economy?

Fascist bird cage liner wants you to believe Trump
Is capable of decency. He is not, just like his voters. Every single one.

Won’t fund research, treatments or healthcare for the kid, but let’s give him a fake badge and use him as a prop. How DISGUSTING that the parents allowed this nonsense! How DISGUSTING Trump pulled this crap!
