They would! And just imagine their liberal snowflake horror if President Trump had his son Barron out mowing the lawn! They would call DJT out for child abuse!

I’m not a fan of Bill Kristol, but he completely nailed the writer with this tweet.

What a POS. This 10 year old kid has a stronger work ethic than all of those lazy stupid NYT reporters put together.

EVEN Bill Kristol thought the reporter was stupid!
Everybody knows how much Kristol hates Trump as president.

Where is President Trump's whip? He looks ready to lash the youngster for leaving tufts of grass uncut.

Moron libs. I knew some liberal idiot would say that when I saw it on the news. Now they’ll start a movement to force Trump to sign some statement against child labor. I despise liberals. I loathe them. They are vile, vindictive, miserable jackasses.

Trump looks like a proud dad, grandfather, uncle, neighbor...

What a cool presentation. Making a kids simple dream like that come true is really magical.

That kid will not only remember meeting Trump and that end of the experience, but he’ll also think of mowing part of that lawn for the rest of his life.

This was such a simple wish to grant. It was very thoughtful of Trump to sign on to this.

Anyone that can’t find something hear-warming here, is just wicked.

Editors used to protect their business by pulling copy that was stupid. Whoever said this article was ok to publish should be fired immediately.
Geez... The Times has become stupid.

Overlap is a form of farmer mow. Following tracks, as the kid is doing, is the correct way - the way all professional mowers mow. Mowing that way creates neat patterns on the lawn.

>>>I called it.

Yep...I did too. As soon as I saw the thread I knew it wouldn't be long before some libtard starting speaking out against 1) Child labor or 2) unsafe working conditions for the child.

They are so very predictable.

Moochelle brought kids in to help with a WH vegetable garden. I suppose you could compare this with picking cotton on the plantation.

Wife & I were just discussing how much good our chores did us back in the day of “child” labor. The lack of this kind of “child” labor may be one of prime reasons for the failure of “liberal” reporters to understand the way the world works. Such work teaches you a lot about your self and the adults you work for. Raise you hand if you think this reporter would be good to work for - - - anybody??

At five I was too young to help harvest hay bails, so I drove the tractor while others placed the hay on our trailer.

Then I drove everyone back to the barn a quarter of a mile away.

If he is working for President Trump, he cross burns! He is a junior Ku Klux Klansman! (/NY Times)

My son was 11 when he starting mowing lawns but he charged $25...

He was 11 in the mid 80s...

“I guess if he was standing on a corner as a look out for a crack dealer that would be o.k. with the times.”

Nope, they would be screaming, “TRUMP FACILITATES ILLEGAL DRUG TRAFFICKING!!!” ;)
