I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to understand that any time you use a young innocent child that has nothing to do with politics to attack their parents it is equivalent to attacking that child. Don’t use children. It’s that simple people! Barron isn’t out there making political statements or screaming at adults. He is out of the spotlight and being a kid. Let him be a kid and keep him out of political discussions.

Did Trump not put his family in the public eye?
The President chooses this. The family just gets dragged into it whether they like it or not.
"I think when you put yourself in the public eye, you have to expect criticism. Hollywood, musicians, activists - if you want the notoriety, you have to accept the negative that goes with that."

Is this not the negative that goes along with this?
They have done a good job keeping Barron out of the spotlight. It isn’t their fault and certainly not Barrons fault when people like this cross the line.

Lol, because the Trump campaign and Trump supporters are really in any position to lecture others on politeness, civility and behaving in a non-insulting manner.
All things aside, it’s a 13 year old child. How can you dismiss Making snide remarks about a 13 year old child?
What snide remarks were made “about” him? She didn’t insult him in any way, shape or form.

How did Melania and Kayleigh dismiss her husband/boss making snide remarks about a 16 year old?
She used an innocent child that has nothing to do with politics. She used him to insult his parents. It was a snide remark and it was crossing the line. If you don’t understand that then it says a lot about you.

“Contrary to what President Trump has said, Article 2 [of the Constitution] does not give him the power to do anything he wants,” testified Pamela Karlan, a professor at Stanford Law School. “The Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility, so while the president can name his son Barron, he can’t make him a baron.”

The wisecrack drew a strongly-worded clapback from Trump’s 2020 campaign.

“Only in the minds of crazed liberals is it funny to drag a 13-year-old child into the impeachment nonsense,” read a statement from campaign spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany. “Pamela Karlan thought she was being clever and going for laughs, but she instead reinforced for all Americans that Democrats have no boundaries when it comes to their hatred of everything related to President Trump.”

So this upsets you but you see no problem with posting memes about Michelle Obama and photoshopped pictures , too, that declare she’s a man?
This Barron/Baron quip was not a bad thing.
Are you seriously comparing a young child that is out of the spot light and has nothing to do with politics with the former First Lady?

I am glad they've kept Baron out of the spotlight. I have never said anything about him except that he looks like a very sweet boy. Oh, and I've commented that he's really tall! Watching him stand next to either of his parents, he was really tall for his age.

I'm a shorty, so all tall people fascinate me. My SIL is around 6'6" and I like standing next to him and marveling at his height, lol. When he's around, I don't have to get my stool to reach my top kitchen cabinets, hahaha.

But I'm still the winner! They lied! They cheated! They stole the election!

He is super tall and a cutie. He reminds me of my own son that is the same age. His older sisters are short too and it’s funny watching him tower over his big sisters.

All of mine are taller than me and their sisters. They use the tops of our heads as arm rests. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Both my boys are tall and both my girls are short. My girls are 20 and 23. The boys are 16 and 13. They do the same thing, use their heads as arm rests. 😆

One is a child and one is an adult. You “like” and laugh when people make fun of the current First Lady. People have called her a whore among other things. Children should always be off limits. I don’t care which side of the political drama their parents are on.
What was the insult towards Barron?
She was obviously trying to make fun of his name. Making fun of someone’s name is still frowned upon right?
