Fair

Recently there have been comments regarding Barron Trump, the youngest child in the Trump Dynasty. Many remarks have been hurtful, some have been sarcastic and others spiteful. The Conservatives are out raged and many Progressives agree with their anger stating that a young child of any president should be off limits of any criticism. (Except for the Malia and Sasha Obama, Chelsey Clinton, and Amy Carter…who just happen to be children of Democrat presidents). I might agree and usually do when it comes to a direct insult or insinuation toward this young child, to leave him alone…but then I think just how offensive Trump and his cohorts of the Republican Communist Party have attacked the children in my life and children of this nation. So I have to wonder, why must I turn the other cheek or hear the nagging phrase two wrongs don’t make a right. 

Betsy DeVos, the uneducated, illiterate nominee for the Secretary of Education, has insulted children who just happen to have disabilities. She has made it clear along with Jeff Sessions , nominee for Attorney General, that kids with disabilities are a drain on the educational system and even more crass, a pain in the ass for “NORMAL” students. Steve Bannon, Trump’s strategic planner, has made it clear that all Jewish kids are whiney and too pampered and he would NEVER permit his children in the same classroom. Paul Ryan has made it clear that school nutrition programs are just excuses to keep children in poverty, and Newt Gingrich had made it very clear a while ago, and hinted recently that if a kid wants to eat at school, he should work as a janitor. Are these not an attack on children. I don’t want to hear, yeah but they are generalizing…maybe but if you are the parent of or know even one child with disabilities, Jewish, living in poverty…it seems to me it is a DIRECT insult to Jimmy or Jane.


I don’t want to single out Barron Trump, Lord knows his father pays no attention to him, but for me the bottom line of this issue, is simple. The Republican Communist Party has indeed been sarcastic, spiteful, hurtful to children in America. by not calling them out by a name matters little to me, as the pain inflicted still effects a unique individual. So, if we are not to attack Barron Trump directly and permit the Republican Communist Party to continue its assault upon our kids, how is that fair?
