“Thank you for your concern about Barron being bullied. He is not on the spectrum and he’s 10 years old so please respect his privacy.”

The Trumps were threatening a lawsuit in the same way that people used to threaten to sue me when I did hotel reservations and the dates people wanted were sold out, or too expensive, or I couldn’t guarantee the bed size they wanted. There is a certain class of people in the US who threaten, willy nilly, to sue every…

Don’t use Melania Trump as a standard for anything other than the perils of gold-digging.

I think the photo up there says it all. Drumpf all the way ahead, Melania second holding her jacket ever so perfectly on her shoulders, neither with luggage. The poor kid all the way behind, schlepping what appears to be a rollie suitcase AND a big backpack.

What about claiming they weren’t born in this country and are thus ineligible for their elected office?

Uh, perhaps you should look up “defamation” again. Also the 1st Amendment. And really any basic primer on civil procedure would probably help a bit too.

Right? It reminded it me of people being “accused” of being gay. Like, question why that is so offensive. A simple, “Thank you for your concern about Barron being bullied. He is not on the spectrum and he’s 10 years old so please respect his privacy.” should really be all she needed to say, if anything.

The threat alone works when the person they are threatening isn’t rich with a army of lawyers.

two wrongs don’t make a right

But Hillary’s facial expression at the balloon drop, and that thing she did with the coffee and the reporters, and how she stepped off the curb that one time, all hard evidence of her neurological problems and totally cool to tweet/talk/send the minions on the news circuit with no proof of that at all. She filed…

Other three? Don’t you mean “to one child”?

I can’t decide which is worse. The President-Elect’s family thinking that their son MAYBE having autism is worthy of a defamation lawsuit, or the President-Elect’s family using intimidation tactics against an autistic teenager who was trying to convince people to leave their son’s behavior alone.

They’re going to slowly redefine dissent as bullying, mark my words. Who will be “bullies” in Trump’s America? Journalists, protesters, private citizens with opinions the Trump’s don’t personally care for.

That’s First Daft Trout to you, peasant!

It sounds like she’s positioning for a defamation lawsuit, which she’ll never file because it would mean that they’d have to prove that Barron isn’t autistic, plus they’d have to prove that the person who made the video did it with actual malice. Plus, the video would have to make a clear false claim, which as you…

FUCK EVERYTHING

they have no self awareness as to anything. And there are different rules for them than others (us plebians). After all, it was ok for Julia Ioffe to be bullied by anti-semitic trolls after Ioffe’s article about Melania came out — Melania said Ioffe had “provoked it.”

“No one can make fun of my kid! Only I can make fun of my kid!”

No, these people are irony-blind. Remember, they’re the ones who spent months bleating “voting is rigged!” and are now complaining about the recount.

This is why he never sues. Because he would be open to discovery. He throws out threats and that usually dose the trick.
