So minors deserve privacy, but not to have the chance to not die of the flu in a detention center......gotcha.....

So true. The children are OFF LIMITS. Shame on the proffessor.

The hypocrite Melania is forgetting all the children who were separated from their patents and jailed at the border just to scare the immigrants.

As if Melanie's husband was ever civil tongues and sensitive to others. Barron has been toughened to his father who calls him Melanie's son! Sad but true.

A minor deserves not to be caged and a mother who isn’t a delusional birther.

Where the Fuck is the “I really don’t care, do you?” jacket? We need to break that out. “While you can name your kid royalty, you can’t MAKE them royalty” was a perfect remark!

Questions: is FLOTUS literate enough to have written that comment herself? And if so, why could she not understand the prof’s point? Comment was a nothingburger & she reinforced assessment she is too.

Did Trump’s wife apologise for her birther advocacy that impacted on the lives of the Obama children?

Melania should take example from the British Royal family. Everybody is mentioned by anyone at any time. The price to pay for public office.

When a private person seeks public office like the Presidency and succeeds, he comes on the spotlight. Everything about him comes under the spotlight including his young children...they get mentioned at all times by anybody provided it is not done with the intent to defame.

So many minor children in prisons of her husband’s creation. Let me pull out my jacket for her fucking special little ❄️

Sure, soon as Melania apologizes to the Obamas for her husband's Birther harassment campaign, the racist pricks that called their daughters racist names when they got into Harvard that are now full blown Trump supporters, and as soon as Chelsea get an apology from Glen Beck

Tell That woman Melanie Or whatever 45 calls her on Twitter to pound sand. When her husband apologizes for caging children , the professor will think about it. FakeOutrage

What about all Americans deserving respect. Something forgein to your family.

Thoughts and prayers FLOTUS... Womp womp

Whoa 😮, who should be ashamed? Shameful action seems to be the Trump trademarks?

She was just referencing his name. Nothing about the child.

He also deserves for his dad not to hoe trick while his mom is pregnant with him, as well. But, the kid's kinda touched, anyway - he wont know any different.

Oh FLOTUS Get over it. You are over reacting. She mentioned his name. She didnt call him names or refer to him in any other way. She said his name, she didn’t invade his privacy at all. The whole world knows his name. Chill out. realDonaldTrump

She didn’t say anything bad, but even though I hate this family with every fiber of my being..if it was my kid, mama bear would kick in, oh hell no you didn’t!!!!

Newsweek where in h__l is the quote? Please humer me, we didn't all have time to listen to the hearing

Focus - thousands of kids in cages.

No___you should be ashamed Miss Trump

She wore a jacket “I really don’t care, do you?”, to see children in cages separated from the parents.

This seems to be much ado about nothing!! There was no insult to the young man until Melania and others made it so.

Their was nothing wrong with what she said. She didn’t say anything about Barron.

Unless he thought he was really a baron, no.

🙄

What is more shameful than grifter Melania?

the Prof is one ugly dude

Nothing bad was said about the teen. Maybe mom could focus on making her husband stop bullying, name calling, shaming, etc. That would be a refreshing change.

While we’re on the subject of minor’s rights...

Why is Baron private while other presidents love to share their children

She made a really great point about the sick mindset of trump!

Melania should be ashamed for marrying that ahole.

FU, Melania.

Is your minor better than the kid ripped from his family and put in a cage?

She mentioned his name, then apologized. Something Trumps don’t do.

The President spent last week making fun of or belittling staffers testifying- he gets what he deserves . The Republicans applaud — it’s a joke

The Trumps respect nobody's privacy so why should we?!!!

“Look! Squirrel!” And you all fell for it.

Non story...just another attempt at distraction... move on 🇺🇸

Except for the minors, many much younger than your son, who your husband has taken from their parents and locked up.

Totally uncalled for and yes..mean.

Minor children deserve to be with their parents and not separated and lost in a system.

She apologized. But you really don’t care, Melania.

Hypocrisy at its finest! How about those kids in cages in our name? Get these grifters OUT OF MY HOUSE!!

That’s only jealousy

God, I never noticed how small his hands are!!!

Malaria should be ashamed as her husband has thousands of children locked-up in cages!

She suffers from trump derangement syndrome

Fake outrage…what about the kids forcibly taken from their parents by your husband…oh i forgot, you don’t care about them.

Referring to the power of a president to give titles, which, unlike the power of a king, she said he can name his son ............ but he cannot make him one. There was no slight intended.

be best biotch!

Really? Because I would ask ChelseaClinton if she was afforded that same privilege.

Minors deserve privacy- so maybe Trump shouldn’t have gone on the radio talking about his own baby daughter Tiffany’s future breasts or about wanting to date his daughter Ivanka.

She needs to get over herself. Nothing the professor said was wrong. Maybe Melania should worry more about the example her husband doesn't set.

We should bring Joe Biden's kid into this.

There are credible allegations that Trump raped a minor.

This woman is crazy

Minors deserve privacy, something they aren’t getting in cages after the Trump Admin. kidnapped them from their parents and caged them. Also, these minor girls deserve privacy and shouldn’t have to submit to having their periods tracked by the Trump Admin.

Melania should actually figure out what was said before getting indignant, since it was NOT an attack on her son. And Melania should be ashamed for the shitty behavior she's and her husband have engaged in. Kids in cages, attacks on Gretta, birtherism, taking away food stamps...

Minors deserve privacy. Which is one of the reasons why it was so vile that FLOTUS ‘s husband walked in on them while they were changing during his pageants.

Blah blah blah!! No one freaking cares

A minor doesn't belong in cages separated from their parents

Professor Pamela Karlin did apologize. Showing a “bebest” attitude. Trumps family, learn from this wise intelligent woman

She should rebuke Trump. He attacks and demeans.

WE REALLY DON'T CARE. DO WE!

Whether you like Mrs. Trump or not- she is correct.

Ok Mrs. Trump how about the little girl who is passionate climate change? The one your husband made fun of, along with MANY OF HIS CULT!!! You did not come out and defend her!!! Some of his followers said she was mentally ill!! Your all for stopping bullying Well stop it!!

And she’ll apologize and the right won’t give an inch. The right never apologizes for s**t but demand everyone else do it and they weakly oblige.

The clown fakepresident has done far worse!

Melania may be worse than Trump. Pretty sure he’s mentally incapable of anything but greed, she’s knows better but chooses to do nothing for anyone but herself.

Like we didn’t know his name

Shame on for making THIS a headline.

She apologized something Trump never does as he insults and bully people every day!!

Says the woman who has nothing to say about ripping kids from their parents FLOTUS

Get over it flotus. When people start saying shitty things about Barron, like Repubs said about Chelsea Clinton, Amy Carter and the Obama girls, then you can be outraged. Your son's named was mentioned. It wasn't an attack.

Minors also deserve not to be forcibly removed from their parents without cause. Where do you stand on that, First Lady? How about some tweets from you about that, since you're so worried about children being dragged into politics?

Be Best, Melanie.

Stanford professor does not translate to wisdom!! Lady, what the hell are you talking about?

Thoughts and prayers

Melanie “Birther” Trump has said and worn worse

Well, at least he wasn’t separated from his illegal immigrant mom and placed in a cage. So there’s that. FLOTUS

She and her followers are very easily triggered.

She already said it sooo now she’s sorry And youz guyz are surprise by all this Hey Bartender I need another beer please

Yes, children should be off-limits. Young children. Not the Idiot Older Trump sons particularly.

Melania need to go back to her country. She lied

The professor probably should’ve known the hypocritical gop would jump on this and drive the discussion/media and create headlines but the statement was not hurtful.

Are you kidding me? FLOTUS Maybe you should apologize for taking food, FOOD, away from American Children while you run around acting like you are all that. Maybe you and the whole family should apologize for caging children. Maybe you should apologize for Yemen children dying.

Why she has no shame 😒

Hey Melania Get over it..

Interesting, a mere mention of a name to make an illustration with that name draws Melania’s ire. Well, when searching for something to complain about, something was found.

Good gracious! Just take it all out of context, won't you? FLOTUS Do me a real favor, Be Best!

This manufactured outrage over BarronTrump is merely a distraction, because the GOP cannot refute the allegations against realDonaldTrump, or how his behavior meets grounds for impeachment.

Our country deserves competence, this entire administration should be ashamed.

MelaniaTrump tortured Obamas wth birther conspiracy, didn't care about ObamaKids. separated kids from their parents locked in cages, today food stamps/ wick taken off poor families so kids can go hungry. She didn't blink MelaniaTrump YourCountryCalledGoBack

A minor deserves to be with their parents, not separated in a cage not knowing of their whereabouts.

Melania Trump, Lakers FanFirst Lady Melania Trump—home decor maven—certainly stood out on Tuesday when she and President Trump had tea with Prince Charles and Camilla at Clarance House. Wearing a canary yellow (or, as my colleague Megan Reynolds put it, “piss yellow”) dress with fuschia-accented sleeves and matching fuschia shoes, Trump looked like a literal ball of sunshine in the royals’ very muted parlor. A very muted parlor that looks it was decorated by someone’s nan in the ‘50s and hasn’t been touched since. nickwiger oh no... Charles and Camilla do not look as though they're enjoying this.
