Kid Bursts Into Tears When Parents Tell Him Trump Is 'Real'

A TikTok video of a young boy breaking down in tears after being told by his parents that President Donald Trump is, in fact, a "real person" has taken off online.
Most children eventually find comfort in learning the boogeyman was only a bedtime bluff, or reel in brief betrayal when the tooth fairy is unmasked as mom and dad with a coin. But here the real horror for this little boy was not a myth exposed, but the discovery that Trump isn't just on television - he walks the earth.
The clip, posted by the boy's mother Annabelle Perez to TikTok, showed her son Andy in distress as he sat on his father's knee.
"Is Donald Trump a real person?" the boy asked.
Someone off camera replied: "No, he's fake."
"Andy, what's wrong?" his mother then asked, recording.
Andy repeated his question: "Is Donald Trump a real person?"
"Yes, Donald Trump is a real person," she responded, as the boy wailed and burst into tears.
"I feel you, buddy," his father added, holding his head in his hands.
The video has since garnered over 4 million likes and over 30,000 comments, raking up further views as it spread online.
For many, the child's reaction resonated as more than just a viral laugh. As it gained traction, TikTok users were all too keen to riff on the video in the responses.
"Wait until he finds out about Stephen Miller," one wrote, namedropping Trump's White House deputy chief of staff.
Another added simply: "I feel his pain."
A further user cast Trump up as the kind of boogeyman parents could trot out in future when the kids refuse to eat their dinner: "If you don't eat your soup, I'll call Donald Trump!"
Mediaite can report Andy's trauma was short lived. Perez posted a video of Andy four days later in much higher spirits munching down on a pack of hot Cheetos.

I guess they had led the boy to think Trump was the booger man.
Well, he does look an awful lot like some super villain from a knock-off comic book.
Well... you gotta admit, Trump being able to punch his way through stone walls is pretty impressive!
Or those are just purple sponges... the spray tan tiny hands weakling-in-chief couldn't actually punch his way out of a wet paper bag.
Right. I'm totally embarrassed that I needed to be reminded that walls made of purple sponges are actually pretty common. But, hey, when I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
You obviously forgot to add the satire tag...
It is known. You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose. But you can't pick your friend's nose.
A trivial bit of harmless fun.
The Tik Tok video can be seen at the seed link.
Outstanding parenting if real. That kid doesn’t have a chance.
Yeah. You gotta wonder what the hell the parents are telling this kid that this would make the kid so terrified.
Maybe the child watches a lot of news on tv. Perhaps he has seen some Trump rally clips.
Yeah that will help brainwash him just like the triggered parents seem to want.
Outstanding parenting.
I think most rational children would be scared to learn this thing is real...
And to be clear, when I say real, I don't mean a real human, I mean a real monster that you don't want under your bed, especially after the more than two dozen accounts of sexual assault and being found liable in court for sexual abuse. No wonder this kid cried when he found out that a monster like that actually exists. He'll really lose it when he learns what a President is and that because some negative IQ bigots voted for it, it is now in control of our nation and military.
Why not just state facts about him. Isn't that scary enough?
34 time convicted felon.
Impeached twice.
Accused of raping a 13-year-old along with his friend and convicted pedophile Jeffery Epstein of which Trump said “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy, He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side”.
Accused of sexually assaulting two dozen women.
Found liable in court for sexually abusing another woman.
Cheated on all three of his wives.
Paid nearly half a million to keep porn stars quiet about his affairs with them.
Said on tape "You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet." "I don't even wait." "You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything".
Is it not outstanding parenting to inform your children of the facts about the President? Are we supposed to lie to them about him? Are we supposed to pretend like he's a good person or something? I'm sorry, but I will not lie to my kids if that's what Trump supporters are apparently expecting.
Lol …. not sorry for lying to your kids from 2020 to 2024 though. How about Bubba? Lie to them about him too?
Reality doesn’t have a partisan bias. Nor is it hypocritical.
What is hilarious is that all you can do is sputter what-about-isms instead of being able to defend a single thing I said about Trump.
it's very telling
What would be the point of trying? Would there be anything anyone could say that would change your opinion? In my opinion, anyone who appears to use the term "accused of" to equate to "convicted of" isn't going to listen. So, why make the effort? For instance, you say he was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl but apparently don't know much about it. It appears that accusation is enough for you.
"Accused of" does not equal guilty of no matter how much some folks wish it were so.
another yawn worthy response.
Lol
News, as most likely the kid just viewed on TV about or in his first person, should never cause a child of that age to be that upset.
Though, Trump isn't your average potUS.
I believe it might also have something to do with the kids last name, as just my simple opine.
Right. Cuz nowadays, kids that age love watching news. SpongeBob is so yesterday.
cause we all know kids are never in the same room as their parents who might be concerned with family , friends, relatives, or even themselves, being raided and deported, cause sometimes their young minds can be like a Sponge, bobbin for information about being deported from this nation, cause that actually could be his current situation.
This kid will have purple gair and want his dick and balls cut off by the time he is 10. The parents will gladly onlige.
So now, they are exploiting children, yes, children, to carry the unfounded fears they themselves have. Way to go lefties!! [deleted][✘]
