Donald Trump’s youngest son Barron has turned 18. Some media insiders suggested this made it “fair game” to go on the attack, while other political observers on the left and right argued he should be left alone.
Born on March 20, 2006, Barron has largely stayed away from politics.But when he turned 18, the former NBC executive mike sinton “Barron Trump turns 18 today. He’s already big,” he wrote.
Liam Nissan, a popular satirical social media page, also said: “Barron Trump is now 18 years old and we’ll leave him alone until he says something stupid in public.”
Also read: Trump is using, abusing, toying with, bending, and destroying the legal system.
Former Republican Rep. Joe Walsh, now an independent who supports President Joe Biden, said of Sinton’s anti-Trump message:
“This is saying something terrible. Please delete this tweet.”
Right-wing internet personality Brianna Morello tweeted Wednesday, “How seriously mentally ill does it take you to wake up at 4:44 a.m. PT and think that Barron Trump is 18 years old and ‘fair game’?” I want you to imagine if there is.”
Journalist Yashar Ali pointed out that President Trump’s son is “not bothering anyone.”
“He has not caused any trouble to anyone and has never been involved in politics or made any public statements,” he wrote on Wednesday. “He deserves to be left alone. He should be left alone with all the candidate kids who don’t put themselves out there.”
Michael R. Caputo, who served as assistant secretary for communications in the Trump administration, asked Sinton about his own children on Wednesday.
“This creepy NBC guy is completely broken,” Caputo said. “Does he have any children? Nephews? Niece? How old are they?”
