Barron Trump and the Obama girls

Tweet

My two cents: Barron Trump and The Obama girls Don't worry, I'm not picking on them - he's just a kiddo and the Obama sisters were at the time. :-)  Barron, Donald Trump's youngest song has been under fire already, several times for looking bored at several events.  I find my own thoughts on this are mixed.  I think he shouldn't be picked on or targeted because, after all, he is only a kid and he didn't ask for all this.  There's a good chance it's pretty confusing for kids of famous people and political figures. That said I think 10 is old enough for a kid to understand simple things like sitting up/standing up straight and not fidgeting, at least for short periods of time.  Even though Barron didn't ask for it - his dad is president of the USA now and they, to a point, represent the American people.  President is quite the respectable role and by Barron slouching, fidgeting, etc - looks like he doesn't admire the role of President.  That may not be the case - he may indeed respect the fact that his dad is president, but it isn't the image it shows when he slouches and fidgets.    Several articles I read said that there was some hub-bub about Barron being autistic == to which the Trump family fiercely denies.  That also makes me sad.  Many Americans live with Autism.  Taking such offense to it being suggested that Barron is autistic is sort of like slapping friends and families of people with autism in the face. But that's just my opinion. Either way I do hope that Barron is seeing a therapist - being the son of the president would be tough and I hope he has some help or support in dealing with that, weather or not he has autism.  Another thought would be to get him some manners coaching perhaps.  No I'm not being sarcastic.  They have this for little kids who are into doing pageants. The link I'm including is to a site that believes Barron's behaviors are to be attributed to autism.  I am not saying I believe it or not, but I included it because it shows the fidget videos. Of course Trump's supporters are up in arms saying that Trump's opponents are doing this just to humiliate Trump. I don't think so. I remember a few years back where the Obama girls made the news.  Apparently they were not at all impressed with being present at the Turkey pardon.  And I, for one, feel the same way about that.  Fidgeting, appearing bored...  makes you appear like you don't have the proper attitude for representing the country and role of President.  On the other hand we don't know what they're going through, we do know that they, also didn't ask for the pressures surrounding being the "first kids" and they were, after all, only teens and probably humiliated.  http://gawker.com/malia-and-sasha-obama-are-over-the-stupid-white-house-t-1663928183 In  short they are just kids and as such shouldn't be asked to appear publically too much.  We do not know the strain they face.  However it would be nice if their appearances were kept brief as to prevent added stress to them - however in those cases where they need to appear - at least if they could try to look somewhat polished would be nice.
