Eleven-year-old Frank Giaccio first got the attention of the president when White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders read his letter to him at a press briefing last month.

On Friday, the boy got to meet President Donald Trump in person — while mowing the lawn at the White House.

Frank, who runs his own landscaping service in Falls Church, Virginia, asked Trump in his letter if he could visit the White House on business.

"It would be my honor to mow the White House lawn some weekend for you," Frank wrote. "Even though I'm only ten, I would like to show the nation what young people like me are ready for."

Frank's request became reality when he was invited to the White House to mow the Rose Garden lawn and meet the president.

When Trump came out to greet Frank, the boy gave him a high five and then kept right on mowing.

"The future of the country right there," Trump said to reporters gathered in the garden. "We're lucky."

Trump tweeted his appreciation along with a video of Frank on Friday afternoon:

Frank said in an interview with CNN that he usually charges his neighbors $8 per lawn, but would waive his fees for the White House.

Beat you by nine minutes! See thread entitled Nice Story.

I wish that kid was my neighbor. None of the kids in my neighorhood know what work is.

Yep. I agree, but mine had video. LOL

$8 for a lawn? Wow, I cannot bribe a single kid in my neighborhood to mow a lawn for $25/per week. About a 2500 sq ft lawn, flat, no hills.

Good to see some kids have ambition. Maybe the kids in my area are just spoiled brats.

The kids a genius- Free advertisement.

Anyone else watch the video and the 1st thing that came to mind is I bet that grass has not been that tall in decades.
I'd say they let it go a bit just for the boy.

Stories like this and the things he is actually getting done. I can barely even imagine what sort of positives he could really do to get this country back on track if the media and the left would just give him a fair shake and not intentionally make stuff up or twist what he is doing.

I am pretty confident that they keep this up 2020 will be an absolute Trump landslide!
