Kids really don't beat around the bush when they're asked a question.

In the video above the children of St. Ultan's Primary School in Dublin, Ireland were asked by the Independent for their thoughts on Donald and Melania Trump.

Their responses on Trump range from "He's filthy rich" and "He likes building walls" to "He's a nightmare" and "He looks like he gots loads of spray tans gone wrong".

The video has had well over 5,500 likes and around 9000 shares on Facebook, but it's also drummed up some concern.

"Not sure this is good for kids," wrote Ann Duffy in the most-liked comment. "We teach them not to make fun of people and then we do it!"
