EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

always remember this was the moment that Little X became president
Little X also had a message for the president. In one video clip that’s gone viral, X Æ A-Xii appears to tell President Trump, “I want you to shush your mouth.” 2
