The president got what you might call a grassroots display of support at the White House, welcoming an 11-year-old Virginia boy who offered to help cut the lawn.

Frank Giaccio, who lives in the Washington suburb of Falls Church, had written Trump to say he admires the president�s business acumen. He also said he runs his own neighborhood lawn-care business, so the White House invited him to ply his trade on their lawn.

He showed up to accept the invitation at a Friday morning photo opportunity � but he apparently didn�t expect to meet the big boss.

Frank was so focused on pushing the lawn mower, he didn�t notice Trump had emerged to greet him until the president was next to him in the Rose Garden.

President Donald Trump high-fived Frank Giaccio, and told reporters Frank is �the future of the country� and will soon be �very famous.�

Frank said he wants to be a Navy SEAL.
