To me, i feel there’s a difference between calling someone a child (indicating a youthful connotation) and being someone’s child (a familial connotation).
My children will always be my children, but sometimes my oldest acts like a child.
Im not defending Trump’s actions. They’re plenty old enough to speak up for themselves. I’m merely saying it’s not uncommon for a parent to refer to their offspring as “children” even after they’re well into adulthood.
It always strikes me as strange when anyone refers to their 30 or 40+ year old offspring, as children. They aren’t remotely children in any way.

I get that. But being their parent, and having the impulse to protect or defend them, doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.

Won’t somebody think of his poor tykes who never did anything wrong in their life and are being maliciously attacked for no reason at all!
