I really don't recall Laura Bush being made fun of......but the left was horrible to Barbara Bush, just horrible!
Laura did seem to avoid a lot of criticism. But hey, look at Rosalyn Carter, she was criticized for buying dresses "off the rack", as was Michelle Obama. Speaking of Michelle Obama, no one can say with a straight face that she was not criticized for looks and clothes, let alone her race, almost daily. Yes, "the left", LOL!
I get most of my news through social media. I must have a higher-class circle of friends, because the first I "heard" about this was from my conservative friends bashing liberals for making fun of Barron. Then, it was my liberal friends saying how crude it was to make fun of Barron. Today, in this thread, is the first time I've seen what the actual comments were.

People said nasty things about Laura Bush, not so much physical, but about the fact that when she was 16 she was in an accident and her boyfriend was killed. People implied that she was drunk, called her a murderer, etc.
She was the keynote speaker at a luncheon I attended once. She came across as very pleasant and likable.

And that was something I didn't know about for a long time. I guess it just depends on what you come across. A friend of mine who is a librarian got to meet Laura once at a librarian gathering at the WH. She liked Laura, too, and she's a Dem!
It is no secret that I detest Donald Trump. Do NOT want him as POTUS (although I wouldn't have wanted Hillary either) etc., etc.
But I find it weak, classless and rude beyond measure to put his family in the crosshairs.
I spoke out against this kind of lowlife crap when people were saying nasty things about Chelsea Clinton, GW Bush's daughters and Obama's daughters as well. It is NOT cool, not funny, and there is no point to it other than to show you lack tact and backbone.
Criticize the man, his policies, etc. But unless one of them is doing something truly illegal or which might hurt the nation in some real way, leave his family out of this.
I totally agree with most of your post. However I do not remember anyone bad mouthing prior POTUS's kids to the extent they are going after Barron.

WDF did the ten year old son of Donald Trump do to deserve such hatred..Barron is a ten year old,yes he is the son of Donald J. Trump but why is everyone mean to him..What has America come to??I may be a Independent that mostly sides with the Democrats but Even I dislike the fact that people say SH|T about Barron simply because he is different If you want to bash someone BASH DONALD J TRUMP he is hateful and he simply deserves it..
The Liberals have truly lost their minds this election. That's about all there is to say on the subject.
Or maybe they are already jealous of a 10 year old child who has a bright future.

He is the first male child in the White House since Kennedy. It is ok to bash boys in their minds.
They are jealous that he will grow up a billionaire and possibly a future president/politician.

I stand with my "to the extent". Of course I was not around for the Lincoln kids or Alice Roosevelt.
