White House press secretary Sarah Sanders read a letter Wednesday sent by a 9-year-old to President Donald Trump Wednesday as a reminder of who the president is “fighting for.”
At the start of the daily White House press briefing, Sanders announced that she plans to occasionally read letters or emails sent to the president as a reminder of the “forgotten men, women, and children that we’re here to serve and that the president is fighting for.” (RELATED: Trump Sends ‘Happy 105th Birthday’ Letter To Oldest Pearl Harbor Survivor [VIDEO])

“My name is Dylan Harbin, but everybody calls me Pickle,” the letter from Dylan read. “I’m nine years old, and you’re my favorite President. I like you so much that I had a birthday about you. My cake was the shape of your hat.”
“How old are you,” he added. “How big is the White House? How much money do you have? I don’t know why people don’t like you. You seem really nice. Can we be friends?”
“My picture is in here,” his letter continued. So, if you can, see me and say hi. Your friend, Dylan.”
Sanders then added that she personally spoke to the president about the letter and said “he would be more than happy to be” Dylan’s friend. She added that if the boy is ever in the Washington, D.C., they would love to give him a tour of the White House.
