How? Does he make fun of Barron? Does he tell bad stories about Barron? I’ve heard, Carter, Clinton, Bush, Obama talk about their children, but horrors if Trump talks about Barron. Yes, I heard all Presidents talk about their children while campaigning.

Obama occasionally used his daughters in his campaigns. Did that bother you?

“A new Internet ad by the president’s reelection campaign features a portrait of the first family asking supporters to “help the Obamas stand up for working Americans.” The appeal, a departure from the typical Obama messaging, provides an early glimpse of the role the president’s wife and daughters are likely to play in his campaign.”

Maybe you are just upset that the Trump family recovered?

Good point. I didn't know he was 14. Shows how much I pay attention to the fine details.

Once you bring your children into it they WILL get discussed by the other side. When you bring them into something especially contentious such as denying Covids seriousness, theyre going to be discussed.


OP complains that people are discussing Barron in context of how trump is bringing them up. Your defense is that Obama brought his kids up and the the GOP attacked them, calling them truly horrific things.


And my argument again is that presidents shouldnt bring their minor children up. So yeah, I didnt like it when Obama did it because I knew what the GOP would do. And some of the GOP folks called them truly truly offensive things. VILE things. Thus I dont think presidents should bring them up in political subjects. Obama I felt even more strongly about this because of just how horrid the GOP behaves.

Negative commentary on barron is still something folks should not do. Period. I dont care who does it.

Minor children should never be brought up in any kind of campaign.
Grown children on the other hand are fair game imo.

Is that similar to having dead people vote in elections?
