Hillary Clinton’s daughter defends Donald Trump’s youngest son

Growing up having a father as the president is hard to imagine.

There’s already been so much scrutiny for Donald Trump’s youngest son Barron, and some of it has been terrible.

From Rosie O’Donnell’s Twitter post suggesting Barron Trump could be autistic, to a Saturday Night Live writer’s tweet suggesting the 10-year-old “will be this country’s first homeschool shooter’, there have been some terrible remarks aimed at the new president’s son.

The remarks have angered many on social media, and one of the people who know’s exactly how Barron would be feeling has leapt to his defence.

Bill and Hillary Clinton’s daughter Chelsea was on the receiving end of some horrific sledges herself.

NewsCorp reports that when she was 13,  American talk show host Rush Limbaugh compared her to a dog.

“Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is also a White House dog?” Limbaugh said, showing an image of Chelsea Clinton.

So, what did Chelsea say in Barron’s defence?

Well, she had her say on Twitter.

“Barron Trump deserves the chance every child does-to be a kid.” she said.

But she couldn’t resist having a stab at Donald Trump either.

“Standing up for every kid also means opposing POTUS policies that hurt kids.”

Barron Trump deserves the chance every child does-to be a kid. Standing up for every kid also means opposing @POTUS policies that hurt kids.

While it’s normal for people to criticise politicians and candidates, many argue that making fun of their partners or children should be off limits.

Do you agree? Are you horrified by some of the stuff that has been said about Barron Trump?
