"The Kid" A Classic Movie About Male Care For An Orphan - Like The Wisdom Of Melania Trump Today

"The Kid" was released 102 years ago on January 21.

It is the story of an economically marginalised man who raises and loves an abandoned baby boy through his earliest years.

Modern feminism demonises the caring nature of most men and marginalises mums. The Trump family doesn't do that.

As Melania has said, "We must find better ways to honor and support the basic goodness of our children ....."

God Bless Her And Her Family

Costarring a very young Jackie Coogan, better known today as "Uncle Fester".
A wonderful movie, sweet, funny, poignant. Chaplin really knew how to make 'em!

That’s a rather Olympic sized jump, from Charlie Chaplin to Melania Trump, but I suppose there is some truth to it on that one topic.

And his parents screwed him out of all the money he made as a child actor....

Thanks for reminding us about Jackie Coogan's parents. I'd completely forgotten about that.

Why are stage parents such grifters? It happened to Shirley Temple too. Shirley was a survivor and became a lifelong conservative. She married a doctor and had a long and happy marriage.

Here is a paragraph about Jackie Coogan from Britannica:

"In 1935 he was the sole survivor of an auto accident in which his father and three others were killed. In 1938 he sued his mother and stepfather (his former business manager), only to learn that his parents had spent virtually all of his multimillion-dollar fortune. The larger result was that the California legislature enacted the Child Actors Bill, popularly called the “Coogan Law,” ensuring child movie actors such rights as having their contracts approved by the courts and their income governed by financial institutions.

During World War II Coogan served in the U.S. Army Air Force. In later years he played character roles in various films and television programs, most notably as Uncle Fester in the television series The Addams Family (1964–66)."

On D-Day, he was one of the pilots flying troop gliders into Normandy.
