Thousands of journalists have written millions of words in their efforts to capture the hysteria around Donald Trump’s first six weeks in office.

Then along comes a seven-year-old who pretty much nails it in two.

Alice Oswalt, daughter of actor Patton Oswalt, wrote a postcard to the Commander in Chief in which she bluntly tells him to… wait for it…

“Calm down”.

She’s also kindly provided a visual illustration to ensure the President gets a proper handle on her not-so-executive order.

Alice = cool-face emoji. POTUS = shocked-face emoji.

The primary schooler’s proud pappa shared a photo on his Twitter account of her clutching the note, along with the caption, “Alice just made this postcard for President Trump. I just mailed it.”

Patton’s followers are suitably impressed with his daughter’s pithy political analysis – the Tweet has been like more than 53,000 times and re-tweeted more than 8,000.

This week, under President Trump…(Post continues after podcast.)

“This kid is darling,” wrote one commenter.

“Might be a little over @realDonaldTrump’s head,” suggested another.

“We are all Alice,” proclaimed another.

Inevitably there were also calls for Alice to run the country when she grows up. But we’re not sure about that – she seems a little too smart.
