If you have had access to internet within the last week you would know that Barron Trump became the target of a lot of jokes during the inauguration. While, no, his father may not be the people’s choice and I can understand that, Barron never deserved to be criticized or insulted in the manner that he was. An SNL star (who is now suspended) tweeted that he would be “the first homeschool shooter”. She should have thought this tweet through before she sent it in. This is my apology letter to him for having to go through this in the public eye.
Dear Barron Trump,
Let me start this out by saying I am sorry that adults even have to be told to not pick on a 10-year-old boy. No one should have ever stooped so low as to pick on a child. But even more to pick on a child and accuse him of being someone who would “be the first homeschool shooter.” We already live in a world where about 200 school shootings are happening each year, so to even have the nerve to make light of a situation like that blows my mind. Can you imagine how family members who have lost loved ones to school shootings may have felt when they read that? Also, how Barron Trump felt when he read that? While it may have been a joke to others, I can guarantee that most did not find it amusing. We shouldn’t be okay with making jokes on very serious matters. Barron is a young boy who is transitioning into a new way of life which can be hard as is, but to then go and target him with such a heavy topic is distasteful beyond all measures. I am sorry that this happened to you, Barron. You never deserved to be targeted in that manner, but in reality you never deserved to be targeted in any manner during all of this. You are an innocent boy who has done nothing to deserve the mean things that have been said about you. The things that were stated about you were never funny and should have never even be thought of, but most importantly should have never been publicized. I hope that you do not let people who are willing to pick on a 10-year-old boy define the way you see the rest of the world, not everyone is like that and there are nice people out there. Don’t let people’s word’s define how you feel about yourself or define the way you see yourself. You are a bright child who has so many things to look forward to in this life. Once again, I am sorry that you were ever targeted, Barron, and I hope that you go very far in this life.
