Of course, he is 10 and I suppose it was a momentous occasion for his family and something he will always remember, however tired he was.

He certainly stole the show. Very young and obviously desperately tired but didn't let his family down. I hope they're proud of him.

His life will be totally different now poor lad.

Yes, poor child was swaying on his feet with tiredness.

Judthepud2 Wed 09-Nov-16 20:16:22

Yes I too couldn't take my eyes off the poor mite! He looked really tired and totally fed up!

Why do they have to parade their whole families?

POGS my "poor boy" in the OP was heartfelt.

He's only 10. Should have been tucked up in bed ?

My guess is he was bored and tired. I don't know how old he is but I think the last thing he wanted was to spend his time standing on a platform in the middle of the night while the adults around him talked on and on about something he has no interest in.

He was probably just tired, ....nobody can say 'his family didn't care' that's just getting another dig into Trump by the back door.You can insult Trump all you like, but how about leaving ALL his family out of it.

Leave the poor kid alone.

It was about three in the morning there so I expect he was shattered. I felt sorry for him, (don't care for his dad though). I think there was an even smaller child there, possibly a Trump grandchild.

Oh wow poor kid - and nobody seemed to care- was he feeling really sick- he looked like he was going to pass out, or even have an epileptic fit. And his mother didn't notice either.

Can someone lip read what he said?

He has probably come to the realisation that life, as he knows it, has changed for him for ever. sad

Poor lad. But that'll put him off politics for life - not all bad.

Video didn't play

Candlefran Wed 09-Nov-16 12:34:32

it didn't get any better at the end

He'd really had enough! grin

kittylester Wed 09-Nov-16 12:30:45

I think he kept swallowing yawns! Poor lad.

jordana Wed 09-Nov-16 12:19:17

I don't know if the wee guy was really tired or fed up. I couldn't take my eyes off him. At one point I thought he may faint or be sick, but he held up well

Candlefran Wed 09-Nov-16 12:14:40

Or was he just really pissed off with the lot of it?
