He wasn't. He actually cannot be made a baron in the U.S., so it was a simple statement of fact. Why are Republicans so upset that he can't be made a baron?

Melania did not say Baron was "attacked". She said that a minor child should be kept out of politics. She is correct.

Thanks to her I learned her son was drawn into politics today! She has done her motherly duty by spreading this far and wide! So much for privacy, especially with the campaign and the Trump Administration News Network (aka FOX) running with it. They're all making sure Barron is in the spotlight and trending on Twitter!

If you watched the testimony you would have learned it then. The laughter of some in the room was your indicator that it was political.

Most of America did not watch the testimony. You must be inside the Beltway.

But now most of America is talking about Barron. Thanks to Melania's tweet and FOX news.

No, thanks to the testimony. That occurred first.

Sure but again, for those who are a little slow, had Melania not tweeted about it and FOX news not make it their no. 1 story tonight, no one would be talking about it. SO much for Barron's privacy.

And for those even a bit slower, the privacy was gone as soon as he was mentioned in public testimony. For no reason other than to crack a joke at the Trump's expense.

Again, for those who be slowest, the privacy would have returned much sooner had mother not broadcast it to the world with her tweet. How many people were actually watching the testimony? How many people now know about it only because of the Republicans/Fox News making it into a political talking point? I'm one of those. I bet you are too.

Here's the thing. If you're truly worried about your child's privacy, don't tweet about it. That would see self-evident.

He shouldn't have been mentioned but, you're going off about something strange here. His privacy? We all know he exists. He shows up for photo ops occasionally, as the First Family does. Aside from that, he has privacy, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

I am not "going off" about his privacy. I am responding to PP who alleges that his privacy was taken because of Melania and Fox News.

And for those not moving at all, how does his privacy get "returned"? The testimony is permanent public record. There are also plenty of other networks/websites covering it. Lastly, I watched the testimony and Gaetz' response to it.

Well it's amplifying his position in public discourse to have his mother tweet about it. And then one of the REpublicans read the tweet into the record. And Fox has been fixated it all night.

And here we are discussing Barron and his privacy or lack thereof. Which we would not be doing if Melania hadn't tweeted about it because I for one had not known someone giving testimony had made a pun on his name.

I mean if people are truly concerned about Barron's privacy the would NOT want networks and news sites to be covering this story. Which they wouldn't be covering if it hadn't been tweeted about by the first lady and then there was some statement issued by the campaign. Seems like they're all too happy to use it as an issue. So much for Barron's privacy.

Much ado about nothing.

It's a comment about the president's decision to name his child after British royalty. It's not a comment about the child, it's a comment about the name choice.

The president could name his child Duke, Earl, Baron, Lady or Queen, but he can't create royalty.

That's all. No one teased the child, bullied the child, or criticized the child, his behavior, his actions, his choices or his friends. Just a comment on the choice of name.

A dumb comment, really, but in the greater picture, meaningless.

Move on.

I did not hear about this thing until Melania tweeted about it; if she didn't want her son talked about, she should have taken it up quietly and they could have applied during the hearings, if needed. Tweet was obviously to generate press coverage, which magnifies the issue and creates even more of a spotlight on Barron.

Yeah but she also called the testimony "biased pandering" which is inaccurate at best and so makes her whole post look political and not a heartfelt defense of her child.

She definitely doesn't know the word "pandering" in english. Someone else wrote that.

Someone who actually knew what “pandering” meant would have accused the Republicans of it, not the Democrats.

A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics. Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it.

It is so offensive that Melania had to blast this out on her twitter feed for 12M followers and Trump started monetizing using the outrage!

Who does that offend?

Forgot "/s"!

[Anonymous]

They have no rebuttal to the facts of Trumps blatant corruption so are resorting to fixating on this.

Melania didn't write that. Someone else directed it. Probably Don's drunken communications director. What exactly did they have in mind when they named Child #5 by Wife #3 Baron, when Don used "John Baron" as his name when creating fake press releases? Like his oldest son. the youngest isn't permitted his own identity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudonyms_of_Donald_Trump

Trump finally found a use for his youngest son: fundraising.

He is such a despicable person. What kind of parent does that to their own child?
