Yesterday ABC News published an article on the Trump kid that Donald Trump invited to the State of the Union because he’d been bullied over his last name:
Pres. Trump had invited Joshua Trump as his State of the Union guest because the White House said the sixth-grader from Wilmington, Delaware, had been bullied because of his last name.
He appeared to doze off during the speech. https://t.co/ESpEPaBaAS pic.twitter.com/ba2BBtGVHK

Seriously? He’s a kid and that was a freakishly long speech! What’s he supposed to do at this time of night when it’s probably his bedtime?
ABC News even points out that the Trump kid got bullied over his last name, and then they publish this garbage which is sure to get him bullied more?
How pathetic!
People on Twitter weren’t too happy with this at all:
Delete this, assholes.

I expected 2019 to be many things, but the mass media using its weight to go after children has been… not anticipated. https://t.co/j9OYYYOl0u

This is so disturbing that you’re doing this to a CHILD that was up late and his initial invite was because he was bullied. YOU ARE BULLYING HIM. Who ever wrote this should be seriously ashamed of themselves.

Why is this news? Leave the kid who is already getting bullied alone

Holy shit! You genuinely thought it was necessary to try and embarrass a kid?! Let alone, a young man who was invited to the event due to the bullying he's experienced?! What exactly is your message on bullying @ABC? "Get used to it because we do it, too!"

Picking on the kid who was bullied and beaten up to the point where his parents had to change his name…..
And these people still wonder why we hate the media? https://t.co/pqriQhnh9A

There are a ton more of these tweets, as you can imagine.
I think that last tweet is dead on. They hate Trump so much that they are blinded by it and they write crappy stories like this one.
I hope the parents sue, but I doubt they’d win. Even so, ABC News should give them a whole crapload of money for posting this.
