She’s stayed quiet for this long but she’s clearly not going to be quiet for any longer. Melania Trump has made it pretty clear that she’s still angry about all of the rumors suggesting that her son Barron Trump was autistic. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.
Melania Trump Is Still Angry Over The Autism Rumors For This Reason
Melania Trump has finally set the record straight about all of those rumors suggesting her son Barron Trump had autism. She said in her book, ‘Melania’ that while the rumors certainly weren’t true, they also did a number on her son’s mental health.
That’s because after television personality Rosie O’Donnell suggested in a tweet that Barron might have been autistic, the rumor went viral so much so that some people even made videos with supposed evidence.
The entire ordeal was so hurtful that Melania is still having a hard time with it to this very day. She also said that it caused Barron irreparable damage.
She wrote in her book, “Barron’s experience of being bullied both online and in real life following the incident is a clear indication of the irreparable damage caused.”
“There is nothing shameful about autism (though O’Donnell’s tweet implied that there was), but Barron is not autistic. I was appalled by such cruelty.”
The former first lady continued, “It was clear to me that she was not interested in raising awareness about autism. I felt that she was attacking my son because she didn’t like my husband.”
Melania Trump Sets The Record Straight
“Someone had painstakingly compiled the footage and added captions like, ‘His hands are moving erratically and aren’t touching each other. Then he was spotted making strange movements in his seat, typical of children with autism.”
It is noted that Rosie O’Donnell did eventually apologize for her tweet and said that it also had nothing to do with her ongoing feud with Donald Trump.
It goes without saying that Barron Trump himself has not made any comments about the matter.
