Ugh, Barron Trump should not be a target.

Already posted about it.

I’m having a hard time forming a strong position on either side, probably because I actually thought the joke was funny. On one hand, Barron Trump is only like 10, and he may(?) be on the autism spectrum. On the other hand, he’s the son of the most powerful man in the world. I suppose it all comes down to whether making fun of Barron is “punching up” or “punching down”, or whether or not you subscribe to the “punching up/down” idea at all.
My big problem is with the people calling for her to be fired, it reeks of hypocrisy. All these anti-PC right-wingers immediately flip the script because it’s someone they like being joked about.
I mean yeah, pretty much. In my mind, it is a funny joke, but clearly not really one to say in public. It’s obviously pretty crass, but the outrage is remarkably ridiculous. She shouldn’t have tweeted it, sure, but who is this supposed to be offending? I certainly hope Barron doesn’t know about this, but who’s to say if Barron has twitter access or would even care. Most jokes harshed on by the PC police are ones that are furthering harmful stereotypes in one way or another. Besides somewhat making light of school shootings, there’s not much to truly be offended by. It really just exposes the PC complainers for the frauds they are.
What about Donald fucking Trump? He’s on record saying plenty of heinous shit and he gets a hosting gig at SNL and then later the presidency. But a comedy writer tweets a joke and gets fired for it.
Do you have children? Funny in private or not, Barron is 10, and he didn’t deserve to be gone after so nasty just for “the laugh”.
