Did anyone feel sorry for Barron Trump tonight? [View all]

I always feel for the minor children of Presidential candidates. However, my heart broke for him tonight. He looked so lonely and miserable even with confetti and balloons falling around him. And I didn't see one adult, neither of his parents, or adult siblings even give him a sideways look to notice his discomfort. You would think one of his parent, or siblings, who have children of their own, could have put their arms around him and tried to at least get him into the moment. But no, that child stood there looking like the poorest little rich boy in the world. Why, did they even trot him out there?
