If I had a message to deliver today to my friends and former media colleagues, it would be this: Quit sniping at Barron Trump!<\/p>\n

A conservative writer decided to chide the first son, who’s 11 years of age<\/em>, by the way, for the way he was dressed during a recent public appearance.<\/p>\n

“The youngest Trump doesn’t have any responsibilities as the president’s son, but the least he could do is dress the part when he steps out in public,” entertainment reporter Ford Springer wrote in the story published Monday by the Daily Caller, a conservative news publication.<\/p>\n

In rushed none other than Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Chelsea wrote in a tweet:\u00a0It’s high time the media & everyone leave Barron Trump alone & let him have the private childhood he deserves.<\/em><\/p>\n

You go, Chelsea!<\/p>\n

Clinton’s comment drew a word of thanks from Barron’s mother, first lady Melania Trump, who thanked the former first daughter publicly with a tweet of her own.<\/p>\n

Living in the fish bowl known as the White House is tough enough. Indeed, young Barron is going to be hearing a lot of harsh criticism leveled at his dad. Having to endure that criticism of his father is difficult all by itself — even if Dad has it coming!<\/p>\n

The same can be said of Barron’s fully grown siblings: Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric. They’re in the public arena, getting involved with policy matters that affect all Americans.<\/p>\n

The boy, though, is off limits!<\/em><\/p>\n\n
