That the trump family is telling seems so fake and goes to show what they will do to manipulate people.

He "really" believed that KG had his creepy father's head.

(25,166 posts)Kathy Griffin got fired from CNN for taking it. If it was that objectionable of a pic - what TV program would even show it. I know that they can talk about it - but I would think for decency standards they would stop short of showing it on TV.
Was it shown on TV? If so - fine the show or the network that showed the pic.

(4,167 posts)What channel that eleven year olds normally watch showed the photo?
R B Garr
(16,919 posts)He's supposedly on the internet, as has been reported, so I'm sure he's seen plenty and has plenty of violent enough games that he's not shocked. What she said is not believable.
Plus, like another poster said, he's surely heard about the pussy grabbing -- same with Melania, so they are just fine with rude and crude.

(51,308 posts)My sis and I both called our parents mommy and daddy. Probably stopped in our teenage years, but who cares? We certainly did at those ages.
Is that "not cool" in your world or something?

I can't imagine the trumps exploiting their child.... Lol.

What 11 year old is going to fall for that?
smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)They are disgusting bringing him into this like that. Trump is such a pig he will even use his own son to make people feel sorry for him. It's revolting.

(63,221 posts)I suppose I felt sorry for her because I felt like she was trapped in an abusive situation with Donald, but I am beginning to realize that she has been his enabler all along and deserves no pity.

(11,686 posts)He is to young to bring into this crap that his father and mother is doing.
Proud liberal 80
(4,167 posts)The family came out with this story about how he was traumatized when he saw the Griffin photo while watching tv. I am just saying that I think they are making it up to get sympathy. And let's say it was true, to your point, why go public with it?
Doreen
(11,686 posts)It is unfair to that child to bring him into any spotlight.

(182,271 posts)Trump will use anyone around him for anything.

(11,686 posts)I have said before, no matter how much it looks like he may like one of his children he will throw them under the bus with in a second if it means making himself look good.

(6,965 posts)How damn damaged and horrified Sasha and Maila Obama were when they saw that $50,000 coat-wearing, birthing HUSSY Melania back in 2011 say that their father's birth certificate was not real like hers was. Also, seeing her putin-loving, treasonous, mentally-declining husband disparage and go all birther on their father.
I guess it was FINE for those 2 non-white Obama girls to see their father called non-American and questioned about his patriotism and dedicated to this country.
I call complete BS on both those birthing asses. Imagine her, questioning the mental sanity of Kathy Griffin when she's living with a pathological, treasonous, pussy-grabbing, crazy man.
Docreed2003
(16,817 posts)I'll only add that Trump had Ted Nugent as a guest at the White House after he discussed decapitating President Obama and murdering Hillary Clinton, but I guess it's cool when they're on your side.
Else You Are Mad
(3,040 posts)Why are they bringing their Sasha and Malia into this mess? It is opening the door for awful journalists to now question Barron's honesty.
How many times did the Obama's bring their daughters into news stories? Did they say that's they were frightened when Nugent threatened to assassinate their father? Or did they say they were upset every time Michelle was called a gorilla by a GOP politician?
LonePirate
(13,386 posts)His father is the President of the US. If his father had been beheaded, does he think he would be learning about it from the internet instead of being completely surrounded and informed by the Secret Service and his mother?
Yeah, the official story/statement is complete bullshit.
Gravitycollapse
(8,155 posts)Violent imagery, especially against a family member and especially against the parent of a kid can be extremely disturbing even if it is obviously not real.

(32,076 posts)Maybe if they quit letting him fire his own nannies, he be supervised.

(47,209 posts)Sasha and Malia he'd have a better grip. He's probably better off being away from dad but still.....
Ilsa
(61,675 posts)That daddy told mommy he wasn't going to participate in all of that daddy stuff like playing ball with him, etc.
kskiska
(27,040 posts)Seems that he would play computer games, that can be pretty violent. They made him sound like a 5-year-old. His voice will be changing soon.

(1,622 posts)In order to swallow this bullshit you'd have to believe that the White House was unaware that the pic was in widespread circulation and/or that they failed to shield Little Lord Fauntleroy by notifying Trump Tower of its existence.
FOH, give me a break.
This story is nothing more than the administration's lame attempt to garner sympathetic outrage from Chump's deranged minions

done for sympathy.......
hamsterjill
(15,214 posts)That means the adult who should be supervising what an 11-year old sees is neglecting the duty to supervise him properly.
I call bullshit on this made up piece of drama.
Demtexan
(1,588 posts)All the stuff coming down on his family and he does not know?
He has friends that tell him everything.
The kid need to grow up quick.
The Obama kids had to handle horrible things said about their father.
I bet he has nasty remarks said to him at school.
This is a lame story.
Awsi Dooger
(14,565 posts)I've seen that kid at Doral several times. He doesn't seem capable of any emotion except tantrums when he doesn't get his own way.
Trump would take him out onto the golf course in a cart during the tournament. It was always a snarled expression like he'd prefer to be anywhere else. There were frequent jokes about it from gallery members.
