Kids do an impression of President Trump.



That's from last January, but this morning, I was looking for video of Trump saying "China." I found what I was looking for, but I also found this, in which one of the kids uses "China" as the word to say in his impression.

As my tag "using children in politics" shows, I've been censorious about the use of children in politics, so I acknowledge hypocrisy here. The whole clip is good if you're thinking of scrolling back to the beginning, but let me highlight this pro-Trump boy (who gets a word humorously wrong):



Trump "saved the world... from harmony."

Too funny. Were they coached?

That's not kids in politics. It's kids picking up a talent.

Kids in politics is fine with me. Teach them cynicism early.

It's their appeal to women voters that's the problem. Teach women to think like men, is the solution, rather than trying to regulate tempting women.

Was that real?

Nope.

Child abuse.

I saw Kimmel and I am not even bothering to open it. He's a loathsome person.

In that video, a kid is worried about North Korea nuking America.

That was three months ago.
Were the PTB wrong about PDT?
You betcha.

To the degree they were rehearsed if not coached, I detect a movement in the direction toward the humor of familiarity rather than paranoid vitriol.

That's good news for Trump over the long run toward 2020.

You've got to be taught before it's too late
Before you are six or seven or eight
To hate all the people your relatives hate
You've got to be carefully taught

Another anxiety riddled day salved by the dopamine of anti-Trump.

It's better when it comes from kids since they're so truthful. They have no filter.

The poor little kid worried about being "nuked."

Who taught him that ?

Drago said...

"Who taught him that"

Could be any of the little kid's LLR neighbors.

Another coffee in the keyboard moment. Thank you Ann.Next thing we'll see is them all in the whitehouse sitting on his lap and in his chair in the oval office, then in other west wing rooms like the O sat in when. They'll pushing buttons and laughing, like they'd like to be able to do in an airplane cockpit, chortling, "Hey Mom look where I'm at, I love you. Hold on a second while I dust Moscow."

Seems a more accurate title for the video would be:

Kids re-enact President Trump impressions they've seen

I really doubt these kids are doing real impressions and it is much more likely they've seen someone else doing these impressions and are just repeating them.

We will never discuss politics with our children and it sickens me to see children used as political props in debates they will never understand. But they do overhear things at school. This was my five year talking about the terrible, no good, Donald Trumpet. (Context - she goes to school in Brooklyn)

Kimmel appealing to his core audience.
How appropriate.

Wrong-way Kimmel
