First lady Melania Trump thanked Chelsea Clinton for defending 11-year-old Barron Trump after a reporter wrote an article claiming he did not dress formally enough for the White House.
“Thank you @ChelseaClinton — so important to support all of our children in being themselves! #StopChildhoodBullying,” Trump tweeted Tuesday evening during her husband’s rally in Phoenix.
Earlier this week, the Daily Caller published a story criticizing the middle schooler for dressing too casually in everyday life.
“The youngest Trump doesn’t have any responsibilities as the president’s son, but the least he could do is dress the part when he steps out in public,” Ford Springer wrote in a piece titled “It’s high time Barron Trump starts dressing like he’s in the White House.”
Clinton, the only child to former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, tweeted a response to Springer as Twitter users shredded the author for his remarks.
“It’s high time the media & everyone leave Barron Trump alone & let him have the private childhood he deserves,” Clinton wrote.
