First Lady Melania Trump thanked Chelsea Clinton on Tuesday after the former first daughter launched a plea to the media to keep her son Barron out of negative coverage.

"Thank you Chelsea Clinton - so important to support all of our children in being themselves!" Trump wrote on Twitter.

Clinton, the only child of Bill and Hillary Clinton, defended President Trump's youngest son, arguing he should be left alone to be a child, after the conservative Daily Caller criticized Barron for his casual dress while boarding Air Force One on Sunday.

"It's high time the media and everyone leave Barron Trump alone and let him have the private childhood he deserves," Clinton wrote.

1. Chelsea Clinton is a class act. Just like her mother.

This is elegant, generous, thoughtful, considerate behavior. "Teach Your Children", as the song says. As my late mother-in-law would have said, "they don't suck it outta their thumbs."

[LuvLoogie]

2. Normal people expressing normal kindness. What's that?

[MLAA]

4. In what universe is Melania normal? 😬

Oh, you were talking about Chelsea 😃

[Stonepounder]

7. OK, cut Melania a little slack here.

I don't care for Melania, but give her a break for a mon trying to thank someone for standing up for her son. Occasionally you get a glimpse of a miniscule bit of humanity poking out.

[elleng]

8. Yes.

Thanks.

[MLAA]

9. Respectfully, Stonepounder, I just can't.

I watched her husbands rally tonight. I watched her gloss over his pussy grabbing comments as boys being boys. I just can't cut her any slack at all. It's human nature to protect your own child. it's decency to protect someone else's child.

Let's just agree to disagree on this one. No doubt we agree on more than we disagree.

23. She is every bit as vile as her husband

[hamsterjill]

29. +3

I'm sorry, but I am suspicious of anything Melania does. Why, you might ask? Past history.

[Stonepounder]

33. MLAA I respect your right to disagree.

And I am completely sure that we agree on much, much more than we disagree.

And by the way, many people have told me that respectful disagreement (and even sometimes not so respectful disagreement) is what makes America Great.

[Blue_Tires]

32. We both know Melania wouldn't have said shit

If the roles were reversed...

[MLAA]

3. Too bad Melania didn't stand up for any of the people her husband bullied.

[iluvtennis]

6. Agree. What happened to he cyber bulling initiative she talked about during GOP convention. nt

[Angry Dragon]

18. she is still waiting for Donnie to stop

[BHDem53]

11. Like Serge Kovaleski.

[7wo7rees]

5. All part of her cyber bullying campaign, right?

Thanks Chelsea.
I remember feeling very sorry for her. She was tormented relentlessly by the likes of that rush limpball creature and many others.

[StarryNite]

10. John McCain was cruel to Chelsea too.

Thanks Chelsea for rising above the lowlifes.

[DRoseDARs]

19. Erm, what has Chelsea Clinton done to deserve scorn here?

Yes, they've been friends for years since they met in NYC, but how is that or their wealth remotely relevant to the topic here?

Edit: And it's gone. Huh, well better that way I guess.

[No Vested Interest]

13. I have the feeling Barron won't have an easy time at his new school.

Even though the school is exclusive and pricey, he will be subject to a lot of scrutiny from the students who have gone there for a number of years and are established with friends.

Barron is a tall kid for his age, which can be a plus, but a little angular . He will likely fill out more in the next year or two.
Hope he can hold his own when the inevitable jokes and put-downs occur.

[Funtatlaguy]

14. Chelsea turned out so great....not that anyone

on the right would ever give her parents any credit for, of course.

[C Moon]

17. It's strange how the GOP hates Chelsea, but will defend traitors (Trump-Pence).

The GOP is a twisted group of people.

[Scarsdale]

25. The gop

has absolutely no use for INTELLIGENT people. When those intelligent people are BLACK, the gop despises them even more. So, now they have a raging lunatic in the WH, calling it a dump. Seems they are happy with him, since we hear little condemnation of his vile comments. I for one can not wait for the Russian money to dry up, maybe THEN people like Ryan and McConnell will find their spines? As for Maleria, she along with her parents are helping drain our treasury with their many trips. Who ever would have imagined that the day would come when a nude, lesbian "model" would be "first lady" of this country? We have truly scraped the very bottom of the gop barrel.

[C Moon]

34. +1

Yes. I didn't think about when the Russian money dries up. That will be interesting. I wonder how many years it's been poisoning our politics.

[NanceGreggs]

15. Melania did the right thing.

I'm not going to waste any time trying to find something wrong with that.

[Tom Rinaldo]

30. +1 n/t

[truthisfreedom]

21. Baby steps.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

22. Meanwhile, Melania and Donnie's pal Roger Stone...

…engages in pushing Chelsea birtherism, absurdly claiming she isn't Bill Clinton's daughter and has had secret plastic surgery to look like him (because right-wingers are obsessed with crafting fanfics about people's parentage).

This went into Stone's nuts book on Hillary, and Donald endlessly promoted it, telling his fans to go out and buy it.

And Melania said nothing and was fine with it.

[Scarsdale]

26. Any mother worth her salt

will stand up for her child. Where is she when other kids are bullied? Where was she when her shithead husband was mocking the reporter with an affliction? The tRumps are experts at taking care of their own, piss on everyone else. I refuse to congratulate this fraud of a "first lady" for doing the right thing - for ONCE.

[mdbl]

24. It's not Barron's fault he was born to one of the most heinous human beings on the planet

One can only hope the sins of the father don't rub off.

[Heartstrings]

35. Like they did on his other 3 kids

Tiffany is still questionable. Giving her the benefit of the doubt, which will most likely come back to bit me.

[Dulcinea]

27. If I can say one positive thing about Melania...

...it's that she seems to love her son very much. It also appears that she has little use for the rest of the Trumps, especially The Donald.

[bucolic_frolic]

28. Chelsea ought to know about that one

having taken broadsides from Rush the Blowfish over her appearance as a child!

How low can Rush go?

[obamanut2012]

31. I loathe Melania, but I truly think she is a good mom

And loves Barron very much.

[niyad]

36. I can't help thinking about that creepy pic of her and barron, him standing between her legs

looking down at her, camera in hand.

[obamanut2012]

38. Yeah, I wonder whose idea that was

[Cold War Spook]

37. This is about a woman, Chelsea,

who knows how brutal some people can be and a mother, Melania, who thanks her for standing up for her son, Barron. That is all that needs to be said.

[lunatica]

39. She's one who knows what's she's talking about

First hand knowledge of being a President's kid.
