TMZ is reporting that Barron Trump was watching TV when he saw the beheaded image of Trump’s head from Kathy Griffin’s photoshoot and actually thought it was his father:
Barron Trump was watching television Tuesday at home with Melania when Kathy Griffin’s photo appeared on the screen, and his initial reaction was that something terrible happened to his father.
Trump family sources tell us Barron was in front of the TV watching a show when the news came on and he saw the bloody, beheaded image. We’re told he panicked and screamed, “Mommy, Mommy!”
As it was put to us, “He’s 11. He doesn’t know who Kathy Griffin is and the head she was holding resembled his dad.”
President Trump blasted Griffin for posing with the head, saying, Barron was having a hard time dealing with it.
Here’s the tweet where Trump lit into Kathy Griffin:
Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!

It’s sad that Barron Trump has to see the left’s hatred for his father in such blunt and inappropriate ways. I’m sure he was consoled and quickly convinced that it wasn’t really his father, but I’m sure he’s left wondering why someone would even do such a thing.
So are we.
