Today our country elects its 45th president, and while “the media” has bombarded us with angles and ads, we thought we’d get a fresh perspective and find out what — if anything— kids were saying about the candidates and the presidency.

Once we dug in, a couple things became clear— the kiddos are picking up much more than we expected. They’re processing what it all means through the world as they understand it. This made for some sweet, hilarious, and sometimes shockingly insightful quotes and conversations.

We’ve collected some of our favorites here (as always, shared with permission of the parents). LittleHoots is an app that helps parents around the world keep memories with their children.

I've heard the Trump Tower taco bar makes the best tacos in the world... :P According to Trump, anyway. I'm glad Solomon has his priorities (food) sorted out <3

You want a GOOD taco? Come visit Mexico, and you'll know what a REAL taco is. Not a folded tostada with ground beef and cheddar cheese. yuck! Saying that a dish is "the best in the world" outside from its country of origin is just plain dumb.

    Hm. This isn't what a 4 year old would say... it's what a 4 yr old would REPEAT, from what her parents say.

    Or it's what a 4 year old would say because kids are amazingly smart and understand far more than adults often realize.

    What Connor's mommy didn't tell him is that 53% of all white women voted for Trump. Apparently this mommy wasn't in that majority?

    Parents don't necessarily tell their children about the presidential election, but I imagine that it is something the children hear the adults talking about between them and therefore ask questions and form opinions. It's just another part of growing up. I see nothing wrong with children being told about the candidates and the elections and why it's important and why mom/dad are concerned about it. Children don't benefit from being told that "it's for grown ups you're too little go play with your toys"

    Juana obviously mistook Hillary Clinton for v Trump. She kept the peace with Russia as SEC. He's already mandated he'll take action that will defibrillation definitely cause another war: Palestine & Israel. No way they won't go to war after Trump goes through with his plan. HE'S the war mongor. Just look at his cabinet. He lied to all the fools who voted for him! And now everyone has to pay for their ignorance and blind faith.

    It's upsetting to know these kids have been exposed to all the propaganda out there. The main stream media have a lot to answer for..
