We Ask Kids How Trump is Doing

Overview

The video commentary marks the one-year anniversary of President Donald Trump’s time in office. It discusses his approval rating using newly released polling results (about 37% among adults). To contrast adult perceptions, reporters ask children on the street how they think Trump is doing, capturing their candid—and often simplified—impressions.

Key Points from Children’s Responses

• Positive views: Some children praise Trump, saying he has “saved the world” and is doing “a good job.”
• Negative views: Others criticize him, mentioning plans such as building a wall over Mexico and offering personal reasons for disagreement (e.g., “liking Mexico”).
• Concern about North Korea: A common negative theme is North Korea, including one child who says Trump should stop “threatening” it.
• Focus on appearance: When asked about what Trump looks like, children often describe stereotypical traits (e.g., “small fingers,” “face,” “pictures,” “cool hair”).
• Questioning intelligence: At least one child doubts Trump’s intelligence, pointing to how he treats people.
• Playful humor: The segment includes jokes and nicknames, plus a comedic request for an impression that references “poop face” and “cheetah.”
• Ending refrain: The clip concludes with a familiar campaign-style line about building a huge wall, followed by a brief wrap-up encouraging viewers to subscribe.
