A 7-year-old from a community near Austin, Texas, has found himself going viral after photos and videos of his hot chocolate stand hit the internet. However, he isn’t your everyday child entrepreneur — the young boy is raising money to help fund President Donald Trump’s controversial border wall.
According to Jennifer Stevens, her son, Benton, was moved by Trump’s State of the Union Address and became naturally curious about the wall.
“He wanted to know about the wall so we explained what it was about and he was like, ‘I want to raise money for the wall,’” she told the Austin, Texas news station KXAN.
Both Jennifer and her husband, Shane, who did not immediately respond to Yahoo Lifestyle’s requests for comment, are members of the Republican National Convention, and they are forthcoming about sharing their political stance with their children.
“People think he’s brainwashed,” she told the news outlet. “Well, of course, he supports Trump because we do, and he hears how we talk and this and that. Call that brainwashing, but I call it parenting, because we instill our values in him.”
Benton, according to his mother, begged to set up a stand to help fundraise for the wall, and it became a family affair. His older brothers helped him make the signs, and Jennifer helped make the product. Customers were encouraged to choose a marshmallow to melt, according to a sign: “Beto marshmellows [sic],” mini-sized, were free, while large “Pelosi marshmellows [sic]” cost an extra 50 cents.

That should hold him until one of the Trump kids finds a place to make him a rich and powerful man.
Seeking vengeance.
Who know how to do this?
Liberals are jerks.
the Jussie hoax has taught them nothing. the name-calling never ends.
We need to find out how to reach out to this boy and let him know he is not a freak, and there are 10s of millions of others like him.
Austin is the boil on the azz of Texas. That kids deserves a medal for his bravery against the morons that live there. Good for him and good luck!!
“However, Benton’s stand, set up outside a Steiner Ranch strip mall, was short-lived. “I guess some liberals — or whatever you want to call them — they were griping at the owner [of the store] and going in and yelling at him and slamming him on Facebook.” Her husband decided to shut down the stand after one hour. He was successful in raising $231.”
Some people were vocal about the parents “using” their son to make a political statement, and Jennifer alleges that someone even called him a “little Hitler.” “A guy pointed at him in his car and then he said that we didn’t like brown people. I don’t understand that at all,” she said. “
$231 in a single hour in Austin.
The kid’s a genius.

Liberals are the spawn of Satan and far more evil than just jerks, IMO.
The boy is being assaulted because he is white.
Liberals continue to impress, great people.
Not strictly.
Just imagine if he was black, or worse here, Latino. Whoa unto you, non-white Trumper! The tolerant left would immediately start using those epithets they say they hate.
“Liberals are jerks.”
Congratulations!! You are today’s Champion of Understatement!!
Nah. They give the lie every time someone of the “correct group” goes the “wrong way”. Watch the racial/homo epithets fly. They betray themselves every time some such “anamoly” occurs.
How about Captain Obvious?
They are. And HATE FUN.
“How about Captain Obvious?”
He’s Captain Understatement’s cousin..
Liberals better find the brake pedal real soon. Just sayin’
