When it comes to politics, family, especially children, are off-limits, right? Not if your last name happens to be “Trump.”
Democrats, since Donald Trump became president, have thought nothing of going after the first family. That trend continued over the weekend when, on social media, the left targeted Trump for not bringing 13-year-old son Barron to Game 5 of the Nationals-Astros World Series, which the president attended.
Classless crowd
President Trump attended the fifth game of the World Series on Sunday with wife Melania Trump, where he received a less-than-warm reception.
At the game, the pair was greeted with a chorus of boos, intermingled with chants of “lock him up.” This, despite the fact that Trump had announced a huge victory earlier the same day — the killing of ISIS leader Abū Bakr al-Baghdadi.
I guess we should expect nothing less from the liberal Washington, D.C. crowd, a city in which Trump only received a single-digit percentage of the vote in 2016.
But more surprising is what happened after the game.
Barron Targeted
As video emerged of Trump being booed at the game, critics on social media realized that Barron Trump was missing from his father’s side.
“A Father not taking his son to a baseball game, let alone a World Series game, is perhaps the worst indictment of a “family man” I’ve ever heard,” tweeted Rob Anderson, a former Democrat candidate for Congress. “I have a feeling Trump could have gotten Barron a ticket, if he got tickets for Scalise and Gaetz.”
This and countless similar messages began circulating on the Internet.
Trump family strikes back
For whatever reason, it didn’t seem to occur to the Democrats that there could be many plausible reasons why Barron did not attend: perhaps Barron simply does not like baseball, or perhaps Trump was trying to shield his son from exactly what happened at the game. This is point that a ticked-off Donald Trump Jr. made in response to Anderson.
“This is the dumbest take ever! I mean f-ing stupid!!!,” the president’s oldest son tweeted. “Maybe he knew that the scumbag lobbyists and liberal elite in the 94% leftist swamp of DC would behave exactly as they did and therefore shielded a child from that kind of behavior. That’s great parenting moron!”
Trump Jr. is right on, and the incident goes to show just how low the left is willing to let their hatred of President Trump take them. Leave Barron alone!
