  1. It’s a cult. They won’t stop supporting him

  2. This lad has already become more of a man than any pedo worshipping loser like Joe Rogan will ever be. 13 years old and already knows how to actually stand up for what he believes in for real. Not bad.

  3. it’s inspiring, not just because he’s young, but because he’s speaking truth to power without fear

  4. The problem is that the people that support Trump look in the mirror and like what they see.

  5. >The question he leaves hanging in the air isn’t whether he’s right, but rather how a 13-year-old boy came to understand his country’s current political, cultural, and social situation with such stark clarity.

    The answer is that it’s blatantly obvious with no attempts to really mask what is happening. “Out of the mouths of babes” obvious.

  6. Right will just say that his parents forced him to do it because they know the right force their kids to do this all the time.

  7. That kid better watch out. You don’t want to be underage and messing with the GOP. Good chance they’ll molest you.

  8. Release the Trumpstein files , the active president is a pedophile and convicted felon.

  9. Everybody I know, who voted for Trump, isn’t a good person. I truly mean that.

    Every. Single. One.

  10. The poor kid and his family will now have to immigrate to Mexico to avoid the death threats. Freedom!

  11. Trumps and his buddies just rape kids. Thank God this child is braver than all the pussy men who claimed they would kill someone if they hurt or raped a child. You dads all lied. Every fucking male I ever dated lied. 🤥 Where are the MEN!? Liars the lot of them. The my join ICE and vote for Pedos. You sick fucks

  12. I appreciate this kid . I wish as a country we drew the line in the sand . If you support Trump then you accept all those things too and support them we need to stop letting people like Chris pratt ( unfortunate because GOTG is one of my comfort movies ) be weasels and be like why is everyone focused on the million negative things going on , let’s focus on removin artificial food coloring !! No what sbout the cancer / scientific research and countries who lost funding due to Trump trying to pass tax cuts for the rich ? You must support that too

  13. A new star.
    Poor boy. How can a civilized country let this happen to a child? He should be playing happily outdoors.
    Tristan Ryan Perks, take good care of yourself.

  14. Watch the republicans claim he brainwashed by his parents like they did Greta Thunberg. There are so many children who know right from wrong while elderly politicians don’t.

    They have empathy for others and I applaud every single one that speaks up for what is right. Caring for your fellow man doesn’t have an age limit.

    I hope they don’t turn this young boy into offensive bumper stickers or harass him.

  15. >He also doesn’t forget history: “We stole a lot of territory from them. Don’t say we conquered it. We stole it.”

    In the case of Texas, it left Mexico because a load of immigrants from the US (oh the irony) wanted to continue slavery. 

  16. Is MAGA smarter than an 8th grader? No. And it’s still wrecking our country. What are we even doing, America?

  17. Trump will soon be insulting him on truth social.

  18. When I was his age, I was gung-ho crazy for MAGA in 2016. Its so easy to fall into that pipeline, good on him for surpassing that

  19. How long until MTG is screaming at this kid while he’s in Gym class?

  20. Wait! Are you telling me that a thirteen year old is smarter than a spoiled ranting toddler in need of a fresh diaper?

    Who could ever have guessed?

  21. A 13 year old boy has more moral integrity than literal fucking grown-ups.

  22. Dang! That kid makes me proud. What a smart young man

  23. This kid has had to grow up with active shooter drills in schools because we can’t get any policy to protect them. Grew up in a fumbled pandemic full of pussies who couldn’t wear a mask outside, and now cities full of pussies wearing a mask so they don’t get recognized sending people to concentration camps.

  24. 13 year old going viral in the Trump orbit? Kid needs 24/7 protection before Trump can take him to mar-a-lago.

  25. Do not make the mistake of thinking MAGA is above issuing death threats to a 13 year old.

  26. This 13 year old has bigger balls than the entire GOP combined

  27. What’s wild to me is that this kid is going to get soooo many death threats from insane adults. There are so many in the cult that cannot handle any disagreement with Trump. 

  28. “Why would poor people not like paying less money to see doctors?”

    “Why does having brown skin make a person a bad person?”

    Two questions my 10yr old often mumbles to me.

  29. Wild how a 13yo can see things clearer than half the grown adults arguing on here 💀

  30. 13 years old and is smarter with far more integrity than all those far right wing groomer/grifters combined.

  31. This kid communicates better and has bigger balls than most if not all of the current elected members of congress.

  32. Man, this kid. Old enough to see the world for what it is, young enough the world hasn’t beaten the empathy out of him yet. Hope he keeps his guard up, a heart like that needs protecting.

  33. To this day, I wonder how Americans teachers their kids the values of honesty, decency and seriousness with Trump, Hegseth and Bondi in sight.

  34. I can’t be the only one worried trump is gonna hear “13 year old” and just start jerking it.
