I Love My Daughter

She's only 12 and can be so funny. Watching the donald trump inauguration on tv and as he came to official presidency she was like 'well thats us (the world) officially screwed'. She doesnt know as much about politics as other people but its nice to know she takes some interest.

Our school system brain washed her well

That and she has learned to mimic mommy. It gets her accolades as seen above!

When it comes to subjects she has an interest in enough to ask questions and discuss socially (such as current events etc demonstrated through the fact that she was watching the inauguration) I have always encouraged her to not just talk to me but also get information elsewhere, and tried to teach her many different views and opinions on everything instead of just telling her what to think and say. I don't brainwash her, I inform her during discussions of all the pros/ cons of each point to the best of my ability (a habit I picked up at university that requires you to analyse a lot of people's work and view points and generally be very open minded), allowing her to draw her own conclusions.

To be fair she doesnt trust any politician. Her view (as young as it is) is that people who are brought into power are the people who can lie the best. She had strong views about brexit as well (which, being in england will affect her slightly more than american presidency).

Well said and your daughter obviously is a lot more switch on to the going ons in the world that she has the courage to say what she observes and sticks by it , and politicians don't give you reason to trust what they say and she has picked that up about broken promises.
