People Are Roasting Donald Trump for Not Bringing Barron to the World Series
So I had a choice. Do we have no food for you because we have a shutdown. Or do we give you some little quick salads that the First Lady will make along with the Second Lady, they'll make some salads. And I said, you guys aren't into salads. He shouldn't talk about the First Lady that way. We aren't all here to make salads for men. Yeah. It's disgusting. I mean.
In addition to being booed during the World Series on Sunday night, President Donald Trump is also catching heat for not bringing his 13-year-old son, Barron, to the game.
Trump made an appearance at Nationals Park for Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday, where he was promptly jeered as live footage of him showed up on stadium screens. His wife, First Lady Melania Trump, and several Republican members of Congress were in attendance in his suite at the Houston Astros-Washington Nationals matchup, but the president's youngest son was nowhere to be seen.
Wait, did Trump really not bring Barron to the game? Or his grandchildren?

Dude didn’t bring his own kid to the game. I guess Barron is watching at home? https://t.co/w6umvgoti5

Perhaps Barron isn't a baseball fan? Or was simply trying to get rest on a school night? Either way, some people began roasting the fact that Trump seems to have brought everyone but Barron to the game, including Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham.
I guess Barron doesn’t like baseball, but little Matt Gaetz does.

Imagine being a kid and your dad takes Lindsey Graham to the World Series instead of you.

Others pointed out that it may have been a good thing that the president's son wasn't present to see his father booed and jeered. As footage of Trump appeared on screens, the stadium had erupted in boos and chants of "lock him up!" (A chant that Trump himself perpetuated during his 2016 campaign in reference to Hillary Clinton.)

I’m sincerely grateful Trump didn’t bring Barron.
No kid deserves to hear his dad booed this way. https://t.co/n2mLJvb9R6— Jon Cryer (@MrJonCryer) October 28, 2019

The response to Trump came after he announced earlier in the day that the U.S. killed ISIS founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the world's most wanted terrorist, and ahead of a week in which House Democrats plan to move forward with impeachment inquiries.
