This is sooo touchy but here goes....
I have some conflicting beliefs on this subject. While I do believe in a person's right to privacy, I also believe that certain behaviors breed stigma. I believe that IF Barron has Autism, and IF the Trumps aren't being open about his condition, then their behavior is spreading shame and stigma. They had a choice to be in the limelight. Donald had a choice to run for president. When you make that choice to put yourself AND YOUR FAMILY under such public scrutiny, then you must know that every tiny detail of your life and their life will be revealed. Like I said, if Donald and Melania wanted to protect Barron's privacy, they could have made the choice to stay out of the public eye. They didn't.
I know...this is the ugly underbelly of our country. We want to know everything about our public figures and their families. This holds especially true for the president. I don't make these rules, btw. I am just pointing them out.
I would love for Barron to have his privacy. Then again, I would love for Autism to receive a boost. I see both sides.
Rosie O'Donnell is a pile of crap for attacking this child. It hurts my heart that she did this.
