'Mini Trump,' Age 9, to Receive Statehouse Tour on Wednesday

COVENTRY, RI—Jacob Silva is just 9, but he's already decided what he wants to be when he grows up, according to House Minority Leader Patricia Morgan.

Jacob wants to be president.

He attended President Trump's inauguration with his family; and he's already been dubbed "Mini Trump" by Fox News. He wore a Trump button and a red Trump cap to the inauguration when the national news reporters spotted him.

He's also appeared on Good Morning America.

His mother, Sarah Silva, wrote to Rep. Morgan (R-District 26 Coventry, Warwick, West Warwick) and said Jacob wants to meet her, too. Morgan invited Jacob on a Statehouse tour. He'll be in Providence on Wednesday.

According to his mom, Jacob has had an interest in politics for a long time and was eager to attend the 58th inauguration ceremony in Washington, D.C.

“My husband and I attended along with my mother and our two children, Jacob 9, and Emma, 7. Our experience was amazing beyond words. To witness history and see the peaceful transfer of power first hand was an experience we will never forget. Unlike most children, his passions are politics and history and he smiled from ear to ear and took everything in the entire time we were in D.C.”
