11-year-old’s Trump flag-burning video draws attention
The video shows the boy burning a Trump flag as he speaks about what he describes as a betrayal of supporters.
His comments focus heavily on Israel, with the boy directly telling Trump, “you betrayed us for Israel.” He then refers to Epstein while continuing his criticism of the president.
The clip does not provide further context about the boy, his political background or what led to the moment shown in the video.
His statement that he has supported Trump for “10 years” has also become one of the most noticeable parts of the clip, given that he says he is currently 11.
Donald Trump and Israel remain a major political flashpoint
The boy’s comments come as Donald Trump’s administration continues to deal with the complicated politics surrounding Israel and Gaza.
On Monday, August 17, Trump adviser Jared Kushner met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for four hours and pressed Israel to give Hamas a chance to prove it would disarm.
The meeting came as Trump separately called for Israel to stop strikes in Gaza.
Kushner argued that direct engagement with Hamas could help determine whether the group was genuinely willing to surrender its weapons.
According to the provided account, Kushner told Netanyahu, “The last time Steve Witkoff and I met with Hamas leaders, it led to the release of all the hostages.”
Benjamin Netanyahu says Trump alliance remains strong
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed back against suggestions that his relationship with President Donald Trump has weakened.
After their nearly hour-and-a-half Oval Office meeting in July, first time since launching the joint war against Iran on February 28, Netanyahu said the two leaders remained united, calling it “one of the best meetings that we've had.”
“We have a common commitment. We don't want to see this fanatic regime in Tehran have nuclear weapons. We have a common goal, and it's gonna be achieved,” Netanyahu said.
