Editor,

Spare me! The whole “Barron Trump” thing this week was a silly distraction. The witness shouldn’t have made the comment and apologized in public for the remark. This should have been the end of the story. But the faux-GOP outrage, knicker twisting and pearl clutching over an ill-conceived quip strains credulity as well. Let’s see some of that outrage directed at real child abuse, like the separation of immigrant children at the Mexican border and holding them and their parents in cages. That is real child abuse.

Steve- it is guys like you that will make winning again next November so great for Trump and his supporters like me. Your hate now is going toward a young boy who was brought up in serious impeachment hearings as a joke. I look forward circling back with you next election when Donald Sr, Melania and Barron all remain in our White House.
