While I know the media is enjoying speculation & salacious gossip, Id like to remind people there’s a minor child who’s name should be kept out of news stories when at all possible.

1. Tweet from Ivankas press secretary.....

Yes daddy did spank her but it is not what you think. So there...

[GusBob]

2. The porn star said her child was threatened

If true, all bets are off

What is a minor child anyway?

[Ms. Toad]

5. child offspring; minor under the age of 18.

My parents, in their 80s, are still asked how many children they have. We're nearly all in our 60s.

(I assume you were suggesting redundancy)

[phleshdef]

7. That wasn't what happened but even if so, no, not all bets are off.

I mean, she said he threatened her, not the kid... but does it really make a difference either way?

Trump's youngest son should not become part of the discourse at all. He's just a kid that has nothing to do with anything relevant, leave him the fuck alone, period.

17. Trump Has Screwed Up His Son All By Himself.....

there's no need for us to make things worse for him. We need to leave Baron alone.

[Coventina]

3. Let's follow the example set by the GOPers with Chelsea during the Lewinsky affair....

As I said in another thread...

Oh wait, we're better than that!

[DinahMoeHum]

4. Did Melania put Donnie in the doghouse over this?

. . .well, one can dream, right?

[greyl]

6. Should be whose name, not who's name.

Communications Director, eh?

[madaboutharry]

8. No mention of Melania.

It is what this tweet doesn't say that is interesting. Nothing like: "The First Lady supports the President and remains focused on her many projects....blah, blah, blah"

I think the language "when at all possible" is a little weird.

12. Appears to be an amicable non-divorce

She gets custody, half the east wing and free plane rides; he gets the entire magazine collection.

[phleshdef]

9. I agree with this. What is the point of mentioning the kids name in context of this story?

[Jarqui]

10. Daughter Ivanka may have been uppermost in Donald Trump's mind

when he groped unsuspecting women and is alleged to have had unprotected sexual encounters with women in the sex trade who he is alleged to have said reminded him of Ivanka.

[JI7]

11. She didn't care about the Minor Children of the Obama's when she was pushing the Birther crap

fuck her.

[marylandblue]

14. She should have, but it's still not Barron's fault

There is still hope he can grow up into a decent person. He deserves the chance.

[JI7]

15. she is using her son to attack others for what her disgusting husband did .

i didn't say barron had any fault in any of this. and nobody attacked him either .

she is the one that brought him up.

[Miles Archer]

18. Here's what I've seen

1). Melania traveled separately to the airport, with Barron, skipping the walk across the White House lawn and the ride on Marine One.

2). She stayed behind at Mar-a-Lago, with Barron, after Trump went back to D.C.

I didn't view either piece of reporting as "dragging him into the salacious gossip."

It's possible that it became "salacious" outside of the mainstream media, but if it did, I didn't see it.

No, he should not be part of the "reporting" on the Daniels (or McDougal) stories, and so far (to the best of my knowledge) he hasn't been.

[marylandblue]

19. I think she is trying to protect him here, not much else for her to say anymore

Clearly just a marriage of convenience and she probably doesn't care about anybody else in the world.

[IluvPitties]

13. Melania, blame your husband for any pain and suffering this is causing you and your child.

[Corgigal]

16. Fuck these tweets bullshit.

You have something to say, put your face in front of a camera and say it.

I don't know who writes these tweets, and I don't read this crap. No accountability, no care.
I wish the media would start ignoring these tweets crap. It's not evidence, and I want legal responsibility. You work for the federal government, not pushing some new YouTube video.

[spanone]

20. i've seen no one go after their son...???

[Miles Archer]

22. I gave this some thought after my reply above...

...and then I realized it's probably the fact that Melania was pregnant with Barron while Trump romped freely.

It's the truth ( "allegedly" ), and I see it more as reporting on the chronology of events than going after Barron.

No, he didn't have the opportunity to choose his parents.

No, a 12 year old shouldn't have to learn about these things from the media, no matter how diplomatic the reporting may be.

I lean toward focusing the anger and outrage toward the person who "allegedly" did these things.

OK, I think I have used the word "allegedly" enough for one night.

21. Shamelessly using Barron as a human shield.

[Rorey]

23. + 1,000,000 NT

[NurseJackie]

24. Aw.

[thbobby]

25. I agree with him

America is better than this.

[RainCaster]

26. That child is 71 years old

[OnDoutside]

27. Toupee !

[JDC]

28. Using their kid as a shield.
