A liberal commentator is taking heat for how he chose to note the 18th birthday of former President Donald Trump’s youngest child, Barron.
Early Wednesday morning, liberal X user Mike Sington posted, “Barron Trump turns 18 today.”
“He’s fair game now,” Sington added.

According to the post, it was made at 7:44 a.m. Eastern Time, or 4:44 a.m. Pacific Time.
And several users commented on what they found creepy about making an early morning post about being able to attack an 18 year old.
This dude woke up at 645 AM and the first thing he did was tweet this. What a creepy freak. https://t.co/PX0Thppy1g

Huh? Being 18 makes a public official's kid open to criticism? Since when? When has 18 ever been the rule for criticizing the child of a famous person, esp when said child stays out of the spotlight? Or is this a statutory thing? Because it sure sounds like a statutory thing. https://t.co/VsVZeuqedc

Extremely normal thing to tweet about a teenage kid https://t.co/vIPtYby31C

Having a countdown on a child's birthday isn't a great look. https://t.co/xKNyD8GlzJ

This is so stupid and tribal. It's also weirdly medieval in its sense of lineal retribution. What has this kid done that makes him "fair game"? Fair game for what? Do you think the Obama kids are "fair game" now? Biden's grandkids? https://t.co/5douJW5lEC

Others wake up and tweet about a former president’s son turning 18—kinda fuckin weird. https://t.co/JQSlRlW1vN
Barron Trump has been the subject of various attacks since his father ran for politics, despite his age and the tradition of avoiding attacks on politicians’ families.
