Children that young mostly just copy what their parents say and do. It’s not the children who are political. It’s their parents who are doing a piss-poor job of raising them.
Children that age don’t need to know much about politics, especially specifically about politicians. At that age, you’ll do much better to teach them about values than about politics.
You can hear when they copy their parents, but kids aren’t as isolated as you seem to believe. Even when they cannot read they have eyes and ears and lots of input from other people, ads, media… and kids easily pick up on the important stuff one way or another.
I will always try to teach them values when they ask questions about politicians or politics or our world going to shit.
And I don’t think it’s bad that they hear about in the first place, and have their own thoughts about it.
Yes, children get information not only from their parents, but from other sources. Like their friends, who get it from their parents. Like the media that their parents allow them to consume… Wow, it seems like it really does all come down to piss poor parenting, after all.

The thing that really made my kid anti-trump? When some of his classmates started getting nervous about ICE visits.
