The White House is appealing to the news media for privacy for President Donald Trump�s young son, Barron.
Stephanie Grisham, a spokesman for first lady Melania Trump, says the 11-year-old �deserves every opportunity to have a private childhood.�
The request follows criticism of Barron in a column published by The Daily Caller, a conservative website.
The column criticized the boy�s attire of shorts, a T-shirt that said �On Your Mark Tiger Shark� and loafers without socks for Sunday�s return trip to the White House after summer vacation at the family�s home on Trump�s private golf club in central New Jersey.
Springer wrote that since Barron doesn�t have any responsibilities as the president�s son, he could at least dress the part when he�s in public.
Chelsea Clinton defended Barron on Twitter.
It’s high time the media & everyone leave Barron Trump alone & let him have the private childhood he deserves https://t.co/Wxq51TvgDX

Dear Matty-Barron is A KID. No child should be talked about in the below manner-in real life or online. And for an adult to do so? For shame https://t.co/p9jkGbMG4C

Agreed and I believe that @RT,huju, etc. would agree as well…..
criticizing Trump has become a national passion. When there is nothing of interest, people enjoying bashing the President and his family and staff.
Such a shame that America’s mentality has descended so low.
