Donald Trump makes a remark about Melania and son Barron
The POTUS’ recent statement about his wife and son has led many people to call him out on social media.
Donald and Melania Trump recently took part in a White House event to honor military moms as Mother’s Day approaches. He expressed his gratitude toward her and complimented her by saying, “I want to thank you, Melania. Amazing job you have done and most importantly, and most importantly to her, she’s done an incredible job as First Lady.”
The businessman-turned-politician continued, “She’s an incredible mom. She has a little boy who’s quite tall. He’s a little boy to us, but he’s quite tall, right? And he’s great, Barron. And uh, she takes great care of him.”
While Donald Trump’s praise of Melania was making the rounds on the internet, users were focused on his remark on Barron. Many users slammed him for using “she” instead of “we” as he talked about their son at the event.
A user on X (formerly Twitter) went on to comment, “So Barron isn’t your son?!? This is some tea that you just spilled.”
Another user took a jibe at him for the remark and wrote, “Always ‘she’ never ‘we.’ It’s a running theme.” Moreover, a user named Grandma Democrat slammed his statement, asserting, “Trump talks like he wasn’t involved in that process, and it’s not the first time he’s said that.”
Yet another X user commented, “He always says She has a boy and… Weird he always says that isn’t it??? And not We/Our boy…” Meanwhile, some netizens were also amused by Trump referring to his son Barron as a “little boy,” given that the latter is 20 years old.
“He’s not a ‘little boy.’ He’s in college. A grown a** man. Send him to the military, just like our young men,” quipped a user. Furthermore, another added, “He’s 20 years old! Does she still spoon-feed him and change his diapers?”
Meanwhile, neither Donald Trump nor his wife, Melania, has yet responded to the backlash for his comments.
