Rosie O'Donnell sparked an uproar on Twitter by sharing a video that speculates about President-elect Donald Trump's 10-year-old son, Barron, possibly being autistic. 

"Barron Trump Autistic?" she asked.

"[I]f so, what an amazing opportunity to bring attention to the AUTISM epidemic," the tweet read.

The actress/comedian, who very publicly feuded with Trump starting in 2006, was immediately criticized for bringing up the subject.

Funny how obama’s girls and Chelsea Clinton were off limits.

ALL president’s children should be off limits.

What’s going on in those pictures? I can’t quite make them out.

Besides, they look like adults.

I guess I should have clarified. I was thinking of their minor children. Adults are on their own.

Jesus lady give it a rest

You spoke out of turn pretty much and just keep repeating your noble pronouncement

I’m guardian to a a mentally retarded relative and have been for years

Yes she’s a blessing still at 89

But it’s also a helluva challenge and no one mentally handicapped or whatever prefers being that way if they are cognizant enough to realize their state and that life has passed them by in some ways

When conversi,ng and it drifts towards recognition by accident you can see the fear of acknowledgement ...my aunt who is mildly retarded from a bad delivery knows it but rarely brings it up to me ...maybe three times in decades....” Why am I different?”...it’s pitiful and heartrending and yes...sad

I have seen upset frustrated autistic or Aspergers so sad cause they don’t fit in and it just kills the parents to see their child’s anguish

Yes rhetorically any life is a blessing

But at what point is it sad?

Spina bifida?

Cystic fibrosis.?

Severe juvenile onset schizophrenia?

I got five kids and nine dependents and I wish mine had none of the issues or traits they struggle to manage

It’s sad for me to watch those I love suffer with little recourse..

And if I wish to think it’s sad when kids get dealt a tough hand dealt by God I can think that without being judged by the high and mighty

And yes I believe the isolation of serious autism is sad....very sad and yes it is something I know about personally

I swear freepers love to scold

Mouse and bank...courtesy ping

So what’s she got to do with it?

She’s no president’s child.

Why *No*?

You think it’s appropriate for the president’s children to be fair game for the press? Especially minor children?

Is it ok to Sister Superior if we call this sad?....it’s sad to me...in fact I get misty looking at the suffering...I am extremely empathetic to the suffering of children dogs and horses

https://www.google.com/search?q=burn+victim+child&rlz=1C9BKJA_enUS710US711&hl=en-US&prmd=inv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjW07jthsHQAhWFbiYKHcFeCJAQ_AUIBygB&biw=1024&bih=653&dpr=2

.....it is sad.....reasonable folks think suffering children are sad....it’s also sad to watch the despair of the parents as they do all they can often futile

Recognizing sad things is what separates us largely from beasts...

What we witnessed here is language suppression due to an overreach of the pro life movement ....I consider myself anti abortion not prolife precisely because of overreaches like this and others ...whereby it’s not PC to say children born with possibly serious disabilities is sad if they suffer

Instead we make it all better by calling it a blessing

The child is a blessing....the disease sure as hell ain’t....not in my world

My congenital defected heart was no blessing I can promise anyone.

My pacemaker and Gods arteries were

Or I’d be dead....a blessing to some here no doubt..lol

Question ...is a blind puppy sad?

IIRC, one of Trump’s staff who’s been with him for decades (butler?) said that, out of all DJT’s kids, Barron is the one most like him. The school he attends is a regular private school.

There are video clips of him interacting with the older children and he’s fine. They weren’t taken at 3:00 a.m. after a long stressful day as on election night. Poor kid; he’s in for some rough stuff from the MSM and Hollywood. Their policy of not attacking the POTUS children will go out the window with Trump.

Sounds like your the one on the high horse acting as thought police for Others opinions. Fact is no child should be fair game for gossip. Yes as someone who not only teaches special needs but has a special needs child as my heart, I am sensitive about any one thinking they are sad. Glad you don’t think such in your clarified comment.

disgusting Rosie only sees value in Barron as some “thing” (possible autistic child) to use for benefit.

Why not just get to know the kid and see his true value as a unique individual?

I hate this labeling people, and some labels make you more “worthy” in the eyes of the labelers.

I can more clearly see why Trump called Rosie a pig (or whatever he called her that outraged some people)
