Boy Who Got Wish to Mow White House Lawn: ‘It Was Really Cool’ to Meet President Trump

Full Title: Exclusive — Boy Who Got Wish to Mow White House Lawn: ‘It Was Really Cool’ to Meet President Trump, ‘Especially After He Retweeted Me’

Frank “FX” Giaccio, of Falls Church, Virginia, the 11-year-old who had his wish to mow the White House lawn granted on Friday, told Breitbart News that it was “really cool” to meet President Donald Trump, “especially after he retweeted me.”

*snip*

He found out that his wish to mow the Rose Garden lawn came true on his eleventh birthday, August 2.

FX said that while he does not have any employees at the moment, he has a few clients. That number is likely to grow over the next few days.

Asked about his career aspirations, FX said, “I want to become a Navy SEAL.”

His father said it was the book Way of the Warrior Kid that prompted FX to set his sights on that courageous path. “He read that book, and that’s why he wants to become a Navy SEAL,” Gregory said.

FX participates in an annual charity ride in Dover, Delaware, called the “Annual Amish Country Bike Tour.” Gregory told Breitbart News, “When he was nine, he did a 25-mile cycle.” FX, at 11, just participated in the 50-mile charity ride last month.

Wish ‘FX’ all the best. What a tremendous boy.

Mr. and Mrs. Giaccio are to be commended; what a good job they did and continue to do!

Maybe the President could also hold up the parents as role models for current and would-be parents?

FX sounds like a really cool kid. It gives us all hope for America to think that there may be more like him.

Actually, I don’t see any reference to a ‘Mrs’ in the article, unless I missed it.

So it seems the father had the lion’s share of influence on this great young American. Very nice work.

Sadly, he’ll probably have to learn to watch his 6 now.

President Trump admires 11 year old Frank mowing the Rose Garden lawn,
upholding the quintessential American virtue of hard work.

===============================================

YUCK. Obumba and the vile boy that brought a clock bomb to school.
His greedy Muslim family then sued the school.

It’s to counter the unnamed sources that say Trump brought in a bunch of illegal mexicans to mow his lawn.

I'm glad you asked that question.

This article is particularly interesting because the kid had read [commander of SEAL Team Three's Task Unit Bruiser] Jocko Willink's book, The Way of the Warrior Kid and was applying it to his life.

If you read the reviews of that book (link above), you will find that it is changing the lives of countless kids who start exercising, getting disciplined, and getting tough.

That's how kids can become winners instead of snowflakes.

Well it will help prepare him to be a Navy SEAL.

Seriously though, I don't think he'll catch any crap. This is a good story and he'll be telling it the rest of his life.

> Does this article/post matter to us? Why?
To make us aware of white male privilege. You don’t see any girls or minorities being allowed to mow the white house lawn on their birthday. I’m sure someone “better educated” than me can tell us how this is racist or sexist or both but I guess BLM and Hillary have had more important issues to talk about. /sarc

If he avoids “public” education schools. ;-) There are youngsters out there that are savvy enough to see through the garbage. Just don’t get much exposure.

So....Donald Trump is in favor of child labor. — That’s going to be the new meme of the left.

Nice that FX met the President. Looks like everyone had fun. We need more moments like this.

Got to hand to a kid who knows he wants to be a seal at 11! Wow! I am sure he will succeed.

Good point about sexism....Trump should have asked why Hillary didn’t volunteer to mow the Rose Garden lawn (smirk).

Now , now, remember Hillary was a woman. She was for sure, in the house baking cookies.
