1. I really don't care, does any1?

(In before the crowd)

[NCDem47]

2. So is he or is he not off limits?

[Champp]

3. Tragically born into a family of Republican liars and grifters

[Ms. Toad]

4. She's allowed normal parenting moments

There's enough to criticize her for without criticizing her for a birthday note to her son.

7. Oh...Barron. WTF?? Uses his initials??

[Ms. Toad]

14. Is it any worse than me calling my daughter "Puffalump"

on social media? She thinks it's cute (based on the fact that she's had good chuckles over it with friends she's shown it to).

[NCDem47]

11. Mmmmm...

I’m calling out the selective use. Barron held up as a prop to humanize that horrible clan, but then nothing-NOTHING-critical of him or their parenting skills. Sorry. Public domain as first family within reason. If Melania wants to protect him, protect him and don’t bring him up on the Internet.

[Ms. Toad]

13. I don't use Twitter to communicate with my daughter -

But I do use social media.

And - it's not a matter of how she chooses to protect him. I'm addressing how we respond. This is a relatively normal mom wishing her son a happy birthday in a time of social media. We should leave it alone.

[Roland99]

5. WTF is a BWT?

[Bengus81]

9. A Barron

[JHB]

10. As Donald would say, her son

I suppose Barron's middle initial is W, but I don't really care.

[JHB]

6. Is that the wrong tweet?

There's a different one that just screams for this OP title.

The rest of us just scream

8. Ae those balloons or is that a representation of her icy cold heart?

On a personal note: I find that posting snarky comments while the suck up task for is speaking allows me to ignore the blather on TV. I can pause for Drs Fauci and Brix.

12. Everyone, please lift your champagne glass
