The White House pushed back Friday against claims that Donald Trump's tweeted jab at global warming activist Greta Thunberg, 16, is incompatible with Melania Trump's protective insistence that her 13-year-old son Barron is out-of-bounds for reporters.
The first lady has crusaded against cyber-bullying as one plank in her 'BeBest' platform.
The president mocked Thunberg on Thursday after Time magazine named the jet-setting, school-bycotting teen its Person of the Year, leaving his spokeswoman to parry claims of hypocrisy.
'BeBest is the First Lady’s initiative, and she will continue to use it to do all she can to help children,' White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement. 'It is no secret that the President and First Lady often communicate differently — as most married couples do.'

Nicholas Sandman was a child Democrats wanted to throat-punch.
A child with Asbergers gets hyper focused,doesn't handle pressure very well, and is subject to fits of rage. What my wife and I have done, is understand her moods and account for them, then mix it with letting her know that there are times to "suck it up, buttercup".
Greta's parents brainwashed her into believing that the world would end in 10 years because of mankind polluting the earth. Now, she's obsessed with that, and people like George Soros are using her as a sledgehammer.
I pray that, when her 15 minutes are up, she doesn't wind up alone and rejected by her parents now that they lost their gravy-train.
Greta is the latest Leftist puppet to be touted as “person of the year.” Commie Time magazine has stooped to a new low by participating in the use of a sixteen-year-old girl with disabilities as the Marxist Left’s political prop of the moment. She has been programmed to spout all the favorite platitudes of the hard Marxist Left, after which their comrades in the “media” scream at and denounce anyone who would dare to question or criticize the poor mentally-disabled child. She is being used as a human shield, in other words, to deflect criticisms of their totalitarian socialist agenda. She is only sixteen, but years of intense communist indoctrination by her parents, which is always filled with hyper-hateful denunciations of existing society, is probably why she has deep, dark bags under her eyes, a permanent scowl on her face, and every word to come out of her mouth drips with hatred, resentment, sanctimony, and arrogance. She has been constructed in the image of the editors of Time magazine, in other words.

Exactly! Bravo Melania!!!
You go girl!
I predict Greta will turn on her handlers and become a Deplorable.
Yeah, what 16-year-old wears pigtails, especially when she’s going to be seen by the world? I wonder if they didn’t give her that hairstyle just to make her look like a wee widdle kid who of course cannot be criticized.
One of my teenaged girls wears pigtails when her hair is greasy and she’s too lazy to shower. Lol I would not allow her to be used by adults as Greta is being used.
Some good journalist should post Nicholas Sandman and the Greta chick’s pictures side by side...with caption....Two 16 year olds...
Can’t say that I can recall Baron or any of the Trumps pointing fingers at the West, saying things akin to “how dare you” and “I hope you all rot in hell for eternity for ruining my future!”
What will she do in 11 years when the world hasn’t ended in 10?
The Left told us that oceans would already be dead, that no more snow would ever fall in England, that temperatures would rise like a hockey stick only they haven’t.
50 years of bad predictions and false prophecy.
What poison will she drink when her death cult’s dark fantasy hasn’t happened on the expected date?
She can ask Owl Gore for advice.
TEN YEARS AGO TODAY AL GORE PREDICTED THE NORTH POLE WOULD BE COMPLETELY ICE FREE IN FIVE YEARS
Strangly enough nobody has asked him for a response. /sarcasm
I guess "be silent" is what she will do.
At least those people freely give other their money.
Al Gore exerts pressure for public funding.
Another difference is that the eco freak is attacked for what she says, while Trump’s kid gets dinged for what his father says. It’s completely different.
Its not her, its what she has chosen (and adults have forced her) to represent.
Children have been used for hideous social-engineering propaganda in the past. Can we make fun of the Soviets’ Pavel Morozov, or China’s Lei Feng - YES WE CAN!
“If you are an activist putting yourself out there”
The girl’s not totally responsible for being put out there. She’s still a child.
Time and the other putter-outers might be damaging her future.
Trump gave her good advice.
16 is not a child, not in today’s day and age. She may be a minor, but not a child.
If a 16 year old girl walks on to the battle field in a firefight with a discharging gun, do you not shoot her? If she is going to get into the fray of politics, then she should expect to be treated like anyone else. If you talk, expect a reaction that may, or may not, be favorable. And some of it may insult you. But if you play the game, then expect the rules to apply to everyone.
