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.

Haven’t you read? On social media they are saying it’s just a photo op from a President with such a low rating for the horrible job he is doing, he needs to grab every opportunity to keep himself in a good light. LOL, triple LOL.

If one doesn’t like this article, there are plenty more out there just waiting to be posted.

Just ran across one that was interesting but hasn’t been posted here (I don’t have time or I’d do it myself): Jerry Sandusky’s son, I think his name is “Jeffrey Sandusky” just pleaded guilty to child sex crimes. Apparently he did pretty much what Weiner did but in his case, he’s going to jail!

If one doesn’t find that news interesting, there’s more out there.

It does show a side of Trump that the media wishes to hide. So, yeah, I think you should be proud.

It looks like the rest of the family preferred to stay in the background. Rooster, you were correct about the FX. :)

A home for every child

Good to see that they still grow real kids in my home town.

I saw this story on the news a day or two ago; great story, great kid. The OP didn’t put it in breaking news so why are you griping? Go somewhere else to be miserable.

One of the posts at the site says, “Grass!! Snoop Dog and Obama smoke it! But FX cuts it!”

Another great comment from the Breitbart site: “’Lawn-Mower Boy’ has gotten more work done in DC, in one day, than the Republicans have all year!”

Obama has never had a callus from working. Neither has Trump for that matter.

The difference is that Trump has depended on callused workers to get the job done. Trump knows work and appreciates it. His appreciation is real rather than abstract.

Pardon me for jumping in, but I would like to add this:

This young lad exemplifies all that is good in America, indeed, good in mankind. A shining example of individuality and work ethic that all, young and old, would be well-served to follow.

That's worth sharing.

Cool kid. But he is doing a horrible job of mowing.

I disagree. For an 11-year-old kid (no adult testosterone levels yet) who may weigh less than the mower, he seems to be doing a pretty great job in this photo:

Watch the media accuse Trump of bringing the kid to Washington just so they could fill a hotel room (I bet Trump comped him, though.)

Nah. He lives in nearby northern Virginia suburbs. But they will try to dox the black guy in the background and make his life a living hell.

Simon Murray's chronicle of his time in the French Foreign Legion, Legionnaire, was the book the fired me up in high school—found in the school library, of all places!

Has Trump been accused of child abuse and violating laws against child labor? What about sexism - why didn’t he have a girl there too?

…Possibly it was the public library that I found it in, however.

FX, I’ll mow the southern half of the USA and you can do the northern half. Let’s merge our lawn care business...the biggest teen owned lawn care business
