11-year-old Matthew Schricker made headlines in the US when he asked a question to Donald Trump’s VP contender Mike Pence during a recent Donald Trump campaign event. The North Carolina resident appeared on CNN with his mother to explain why he supported Donald Trump. The young boy told CNN that Trump’s rhetoric was better than ISIS chopping off people’s heads. “Matthew, a lot has been made in this campaign of the language that is used, the name calling that’s been used, especially in the primary,” reporter Poppy Harlow says. “As an 11-year-old watching it, what’s your reaction?” “I really think that listening to a few bad words coming out of Donald Trump is a lot better than people getting blown up by terrorists, people getting burned alive, people’s heads being chopped off and people getting drowned,” Schricker responded. Schricker’s mother, Mary, backed her son up saying Trump’s language is warranted by current world events. “Honestly when it comes to confronting a terrorist I would rather have Trump confronting him than his opponent,” she said.
