pretty much the same as Chelsea Clinton.

How soon we forget, for instance, how Fox and other right-wing media trolled for assassins; but before and after the major right-wing media were doing it social media and others were doing it. That first year especially I was terribly afraid Obama would be assassinated.

The Obama girls were themselves targeted with new death threats every day, but in spite of that even, there were a shocking number of Secret Service and WH police scandals arising from despicable refusal or neglect of some to do their jobs even adequately.

I imagine Barron's mother has been the one responsible for keeping Barron as separated from and unassociated with this presidency -- itself -- as possible, not just from nasty comments on social media. She was extremely unhappy when Trump won and must have realized it was all going to get very bad and be something Barron would carry with him and have to deal with forever.
