On Wednesday, during a town hall in Springdale, Arkansas, a 7-year-old kept it real with Sen. Tom Cotton. As the town discussed Trump’s wall, a seven-year-old had the final answer for this well-discussed subject and it’s pretty amazing.
While adults angrily expressed their opinions, the seven-year-old, Toby, spoke louder and received applauses and cheers from the crowd. America has come to a place where a 7-year-old has solutions for a presidential matter.
Trump’s wall.
During his campaign, Trump promised a wall that borders between the U.S and Mexico. Now that he is the President, people are concerned about his administration cutting financial support to build the wall.
communities, all over the country, are discussing and sharing their concerns with their political leaders.That was the case of Springdale, Arkansas where the voting aged adults met Representative Tom Cotton to discuss Trump’s wall plan.
The loudest voice from the cutest community member.
In Springdale, the voice that talked the loudest was Toby a 7-year-old kid, who spoke unafraid and directly to his representative. Even when he almost didn’t reach the microphone, Toby managed to express his thoughts and you can bet he spoke properly for most of us.
Toby addressed Cotton to express his concern over Trump’s administration cutting financial support to the National Park Service and public television to fund the wall. In his mini speech, he made clear how the kids future is more important and highlighted people’s feeling towards Mexican people.
He said, “Donald Trump thinks a wall is more important than kids’ games. But to kids, it’s more important. And Donald Trump makes Mexicans not important to people who are in Arkansas who like Mexicans, like me, my grandma and all my people.”
Toby for president.
The little cutie didn’t stop there, he added, “And he’s deleting all the parks and PBS Kids just to make a wall. He shouldn’t do that. He shouldn’t. He shouldn’t do all that stuff for just a wall.”
Toby was Cotton’s final answer and made his point as clearest as it could. The crowd cheered and applauded him and his courage for speaking his mind.
It’s just amazing how aware kids are from their surroundings and the problems and issues involving them and their communities.

Here’s Toby’s complete speech.
Unfortunately, Toby’s not only right about the PBS cutting since the wall plan would also cut budgets for the National Endowment for the Arts, and reduce funding for the departments of Commerce, Energy, Transportation, Justice, and State.
