YouTube Description
as posted by the channelReally American Hosts Steve Harness Breaks Down a 13-Year-Old Texas Boy Going MEGA VIRAL For TAKING DOWN Donald Trump on Social Media.
The boy is 13 years old and he has an Instagram account with more than 94,000 followers. His name is Tristan Ryan Perkins, although on social media he simply goes as Tristan. He presents himself as a reel creator, a presidential hopeful, a woke, and a political strategist. Just a very young one. His posts are full of direct, unfiltered political criticism and a rhetorical agility that is as disconcerting as it is dazzling. His account, managed by his parents, is a mix of adolescent indignation and argumentative precision.
In his most recent video—filled with supportive and admiring comments—Tristan accuses President Donald Trump of cutting funding for cancer research and diverting $200 million to his followers. He then draws a direct line between Trump, Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre, highlighting the abuse she suffered as a minor. His tone is accusatory and deeply pained.
