"Most children eventually find comfort in learning the boogeyman was only a bedtime bluff, or reel in brief betrayal when the tooth fairy is unmasked as mom and dad with a coin. But here the real horror for this little boy was not a myth exposed, but the discovery that Trump isn't just on television he walks the earth. The clip, posted by the boy's mother Annabelle Perez to TikTok, showed her son Andy in distress as he sat on his father's knee."
"Is Donald Trump a real person? the boy asked. Someone off camera replied: No, he's fake. Andy, what's wrong? his mother then asked, recording. Andy repeated his question: Is Donald Trump a real person? Yes, Donald Trump is a real person, she responded, as the boy wailed and burst into tears. I feel you, buddy, his father added, holding his head in his hands."
A TikTok video captures a young boy, Andy, breaking down in tears after his parents tell him that President Donald Trump is a real person.

The video drew over four million likes and tens of thousands of comments, with viewers offering empathy, jokes, and riffs about other political figures as boogeymen.
