    To be fair, there were plenty of racists that went after the Obama kids. It was awful. But that was wrong and going after Trump's kid is wrong. Plain and simple.

    They absolutely have. Virulent and degrading things. Very Trump like. He has been vile to people for years without regard to their families So his family is fair game including his incest partner and little von Shtrump.

    Besides, the kid can't read so he doesn't know

    And let's be honest, you want to joke the kid looks like he will grow up to be the villain in an 80s movie, that's not the classiest thing, but whatever. Making a crack about Obama's daughter working for Lena Dunham, probably toeing the line.

    But I'd really like to think reasonable adults can lay off racist comments or jokes about autism/mental handicaps when it comes to underage children.

    I'd like to think you're right but I'm pretty sure that the kids trump wants to deport after spending all their lives here don't care about the niceties of treating the trumps like civilized people.

    They did. For example, Fox News ended up disabling comments on an article about Malia Obama choosing to attend Harvard due to the racist responses.

    That said, there is no excuse for going after Trump's young child, no matter what was done by people on the other side of the political aisle.

    Is it really a thing that Trump's youngest has some issue or another? Or is all of it just so much interwebz/politics nonsense? I'm hesitant to wade into a Google search, if @heyabbott is a representative slice of that discussion.

    It's the cost of doing business trump style. It's not ok that he gets to hurt others with expecting a return
