Leave Barron Trump Alone
PMCHOLLYWOODLIFE

Ever since Donald Trump made the decision to run for president, he and his family have been under tremendous scrutiny. With Donald Trump himself launching attacks on various groups within our society, it is easy to forget that his poor choices are not on the behalf of his family. People of our nation have been fighting fire with fire by sending insults to even the most innocent and vulnerable of the Trump clan: Barron.

Barron Trump, the ten-year-old "first boy" of the country wasn't the one who mocked the disabled reporter, or Hillary Clinton, or the several others that President Trump elected to bully (305 to be exact!)

He did not choose for his father to run for President of the United States, putting his family in the spotlight. He didn't choose for his every move to be analyzed by the media.

He, I'm sure, is much like every other ten-year-old boy in the country. I'm sure he loves video games, pizza, and cartoons. What he probably doesn't love? The terrible insults being hurled in his direction.

When I saw that the SNL writer made a joke about the Barron being the "next homeschool shooter," I was absolutely disgusted. With all of the controversy about guns and the recent tragedies surrounding school shootings, it was insensitive on all fronts.

That is just one of the many instances where, instead of directing frustration where it should be sent, the media is taking down the easiest target.

The last thing this country needs right now is negativity. Trying to inspire positive changes in the government through bullying and force is ultimately going to be ineffective. Not to be cliche, but fighting fire with fire is only going to create an environment where bullying is acceptable. And honestly, it is the last thing we need.

We need kindness. We need respect and love and a lot of it, and not just in regards to Barron Trump. To truly make America "great," we must create an atmosphere of kindness, respect, and love, and we must create it as soon as possible.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
