    Yuup. Agreed. The last time I recall hearing of presidential kids being bullied was Obamas kids. Interesting.

      Chelsea Clinton got it pretty hard for years also.

      I had to look up if GWB had kids or not. Both daughters got involved in the campaign a bit, and now I recognize the one from various TV stuff too. I don’t remember much said about them at the time.

      The grown up Trump children get blasted, but they are all welllll into adulthood regardless of what their defenders say, and they are actively involved in all the political BS, so they are fair game for criticism.

        GWB daughters liked to party, so they got some airtime for being drunk and whatnot, but not political flack.

      Palin’s kids were in the public crosshairs. But I think that had more to do with Palin’s awful hypocrisy on family values than anything else.

        Good call, I forgot about Bristol Palin. Like you said though, I feel it was more Sarah’s parenting vs what she promoted than it being about Bristol herself. Basically a throwing stones in glass houses kinda thing.

        And, Palin actually involved her daughter in things to help demonstrate how everything was okay. She put her daughter on display for her own political gain.
