Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, defended President Donald Trump’s son, Barron, after people made jokes at his expense on social media.

The 36-year-old Clinton, who was 13 when her father assumed office in 1993, wrote on social media that Barron shouldn’t be a target.

“Barron Trump deserves the chance every child does—to be a kid. Standing up for every kid also means opposing POTUS policies that hurt kids,” she wrote on social media.

Traditionally, the children of politicians are off-limits, but with Trump assuming office, the trolling of his children hasn’t stopped.
