The White House Rose Garden got a touch up Friday morning by 11-year-old Frank "FX" Giaccio. He is homeschooled, recently started his own business and lives with his family Falls Church, Virginia.
Frank recently wrote a letter to President Trump saying it would be his dream and honor to do yard work at the White House. Today, his dream came true and President Trump stopped by to personally thank him for his efforts.
"Maybe he’ll be president,” Trump said after inspecting his work.

According to President Trump, "FX" wants to be a Navy SEAL.
There’s a useless vegetable garden that could be tilled up...
I just love this - saw his original letter and glad the WH followed up and had him come for a visit & to do some mowing. I think he got a tour by the groundskeepers, etc.
In another article I read about this today a reporter asked how he was doing and his answer was ‘this is just about the best day of my life.’ This is a great kid who obviously has been blessed with great parents.
Wait. Isn’t that a job Americans won’t do?
I used to make between $2 and $5 a lawn...wonder what he’s making.
Michelle Obama sets her garden in stone
First lady Michelle Obama is making sure that whoever inhabits the White House next doesn’t rip out her iconic vegetable garden — at least not without a big fuss.
On Wednesday afternoon, Obama unveiled a much bigger version of the garden, which uses cement, stone and steel to make it a more permanent fixture on the South Lawn. The updates are seen not just as preserving Obama’s garden — recognized globally as a symbol of local food — but also as a way to dissuade, say, a President Donald Trump from scrapping it the way Ronald Reagan tore out Jimmy Carter's solar panels after he moved into the White House.
What a great story, Kas. Thanks. Nice to see good things out here once in a while.
I Appreciate it.

I’m guessing you could easily add a “0” to those numbers.
Where is Barron? This kid making look bad
Well at least he wasnt a DREAMER.
Why do I have the feeling that this kid is going to be VP of Property Management for the Trump Organization some years down the road? LOL.
Seems to be a pattern with these folks. A lot of pathogens have the same MO.
I had visions of this being a DACA kid.
Thank heaven a good decent kid with U.S. parents was highlighted. And he’s White, almost a miracle for personal focus these days. Trump will probably be sued by sunset.
What a nice charming story.
If Obama had done this, I’d have seen it as a chump’s ploy.
When Obama does it, the focus seems to be solely on the kid, and not what a great guy Trump was a to do it.
Obama’s description would have the word “I” 47 times in it, and the word “boy” twice.
Oops.
If Obama did it, it would be all about him. The focus here seems to be almost solely on the kid, and not what a great guy Trump was a to do it. (like it would have been with Obama)
Frankie WANTS to mow lawns, might not be Barron’s thing. Besides Barron was in school.
You couldn’t get a lawn mowed for that kind of money any more. Most charge between $20 and $40 a yard and some perhaps even more.
That is probably already being taken care of
Cue the liberal press finding a way to lambaste Trump for this. “Trump uses child labor!”
A dreamer kid wouldn’t be homeschooled
