White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders read a letter from a 10-year-old entrepreneur who asked if he could mow the White House lawn in early August.
The boy, who since sending the letter turned 11-years-old, is named Frank. Frank wrote to the President, explaining that he has been mowing his neighbors’ lawns in the nearby town of Falls Church, Virginia and was itching to mow the White House lawn.
President Trump invited the young boy and his father to the White House so he could mow the lawn.
Eleven-year-old Frank Giaccio mowed the White House Rose Garden on Friday.
President Trump later invited Frank into the Oval Office.

Look how excited this young man is in the Oval Office with President Trump.
President Trump just can’t do anything without criticism from the left. The liberals will find fault in everything he does.
According to New York Times reporter, Steven Greenhouse, Trump allowing this young man to mow the lawn is “Not sending a great signal on child labor, minimum wage & occupational safety”.
Many young boys mow the lawn, take out the trash, shovel snow and rake leaves as normal chores growing up, but liberals think coddling boys and making them afraid of everything is the right thing to do. This boy was completely supervised as he mowed the lawn, but that’s just not good enough!

What this kid wants to do is noble, but sorry, I’m mindful of problems–I’ve written lots about child labor & kids being hurt by machinery

Political editor from the Daily Mail, David Martosko blasted Steven Greenhouse by saying, “This is the #NYTimes. Can you understand why so many reporters are cautious about working for them?”
President Trump and Donald Trump Jr. both retweeted Martosko’s tweet to Greenhouse.
