Texas: A video of an adorable five-year-old asking her mother why Barack Obama is no longer in the White House has gone viral.

In a series of three Instagram clips filmed by her mom, Taylor, from Texas, asks where the former president is and why Donald Trump has taken over.

“Why did he go? Where did he go?” the curious girl inquires about Obama from the back seat. “Why do we have the President we have now at the same spot he was and why did he leave it anyway?”

Her mother, with the username ‘tabgeezy’, explains that the President can only serve two terms, but then Taylor starts to wonder about the 2016 election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

“How come Hillary did not get to be the President and why is she the loser and what are they even supposed to be winning?” she asks of the former First Lady’s loss to the business mogul.

Her mother tells her that everybody gets a vote, just like Taylor voted for pizza over hamburger

“So Barack Obama voted for the President we have now?,” Taylor questions, before coming to the conclusion that more people voted for the current President.

Her mother starts explaining that more people actually voted for Clinton — by about three million votes — before stopping short of describing how the Electoral College works, simply saying: “It’s a long story”.

Having determined the reason for Trump’s Presidential success, she asks where he lives now. “I don’t want him living in Texas,” she exclaims. The videos have gone viral with each viewed around 50,000 times.
