And, I guess if they want to keep that personal and not have anyone talk about it, that's their right and one of the few areas where I would give them any respect.

But, it is odd that the kid has obvious issues and that they're going to put him on camera, but get angry if it's mentioned.

He could just be a very sensitive child. How horrible for him to have such a pig for a father. At least Melania seems to be very protective of him.

and gain respect from many people if Melania chooses special education or issues of children with developmental delays as her focus.

It is not hypocrisy to be saying the same thing about Barron Trump that we said about Sasha 8 years ago, merely because we are not saying it again, in connection to Sasha, now.

If you know people who were NOT concerned about the Obama girls - fine - call them on their hypocrisy. Better yet, repost their comments from 8 years ago. The people I know condemning the attacks on Barron ALSO condemned the attacks on Sasha (and other presidential children).
