12 year old managing Trump's Colorado campaign
Weston Imer has taken it upon himself to use his summer vacation to encourage people to vote and volunteer for Donald Trump in Colorado; 'Get involved. Kids need to be educated.'
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign is being run by a 12-year-old boy in Jefferson County in Colorado, according to a new report.
Weston Imer runs operations for Trump’s camp in the county and is responsible for recruiting volunteers and helping to encourage as many people as possible to vote for the business magnate in the critical swing state.

Asked what he hopes to achieve in his role, Imer said he simply wanted to tell people to “get involved. That’s what I’m going to say. Get involved. Kids need to be educated.”
Laurel Imer, Weston’s mother, said Sunday that she remains Trump’s official field coordinator for Jefferson County on paper.
She said that she hopes her son’s example inspires other parents to let their own children involve themselves in the campaign and take on similar responsibilities. “You have a responsibility to your children to teach them,” she said.

Weston, who has even met Trump in person, is actively recruiting friends to the billionaire’s cause and intends to continue his efforts until he begins school in September.
“Watch for me—2040,” he said when asked if he wants to run for elected office. “And Barron Trump, if you’re watching, in 2040 I’ll take you as my running mate.”
The Constitution requires both the president and vice president to be at least 35 years old when seeking the Oval Office.
