Chelsea Clinton defends Donald Trump's youngest son
The daughter of the former US president claims that Barron may have a childhood after the criticism that his attitude has aroused
Becoming the son of the president of the United States and grabbing the attention of the media overnight is not easy. And Chelsea Clinton knows this well, as she spent her adolescence as the daughter of a president and she suffered from it from 1993 to 2001 while living in the White House. Now, Bill Clinton's daughter has made a public defense of Barron Trump, the youngest son of the new American president, after the criticism that the 10-year-old boy has received for his attitude in the media and on social networks, where it has become a meme.
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.

"Barron Trump deserves the opportunity that every child deserves to have a childhood," wrote Chelsea Clinton, 36, on her Twitter account, in which she has 1.2 million followers. A message, yes, in which she has not missed the opportunity to attack the policies of Donald Trump, the man who frustrated the aspirations of her mother, Hillary Clinton, to become president of the United States. "Defending each child also means opposing the policies of @POTUS [the Twitter account of the President of the United States] that hurt them," she ends her tweet. The double message has not liked many of her followers, who have come to describe her as "hypocrite."
Little Barron Trump has been the subject of mockery on social media since his father won the election on November 8. Already on election night there were numerous comments about the bored face and yawns of the young man during the celebration of the victory of his father in the Trump Tower in New York. Yawning and bored face that he repeated last Friday when Donald Trump was officially named 45th president of the United States. Photographs of the president's only son with his current wife, Melania Trump, spread like wildfire on social media.
Even some celebrities have seen his attitude ugly on social networks for having published messages about Barron Trump. This is the case of actress Julie Bowen, Claire Dunphy in the Modern Family series, who published several images of the child on her Instagram account to lament the arrival of the new US president and some Internet users accused her of bullying. For now, Barron is going to stay away from the lights that surround the White House, because until he finishes the school year he is going to stay in New York with his mother.
Chelsea Clinton herself suffered criticism in her own skin while she was still a teenager, and that when she landed in the White House, the virality of social networks was not even glimpsed. When she was 13 years old, she was compared to a dog on a television show. “I'm thankful that I don't exactly remember the phrase. Fortunately, I have grown up in the public eye and I knew that having thick skin was a survival skill, ”she said of the matter in an interview in 2012.
