Melania Trump addresses false claims that Barron Trump is autistic

 October 6, 2024

Former first lady Melania Trump's upcoming memoir is already making headlines, as she used the opportunity to open up about her otherwise private family life, especially concerning her son, Barron Trump. 

Many on the left have dialed in on Barron Trump since he turned 18 earlier this year, and some, including Rosie O’Donnell and other rabid, anti-Trump celebrities have suggested that the teenaged Trump is on the autism spectrum

They're downright nasty about it, too.

Melania Trump addressed those claims and others in her upcoming book, which is already smashing presale records online.

What did she say?

The former first lady's book will hit the physical and virtual shelves on Tuesday and according to media outlets that have reviewed advanced copies, shines a whole new light into the family of former President Donald Trump.

She opened up about the controversy regarding the autism claims that went viral due to a tweet from O'Donnell that meant to give the appearance of being sympathetic.

"Barron Trump Autistic? If so - what an amazing opportunity to bring attention to the AUTISM epidemic," O'Donnell wrote at the time, sending the internet into a total meltdown as a result.

She had attached a video link of a video attempting to prove that Barron was autistic.

Melania, and millions of others, saw right through the former "The View" host's messaging, which was clearly meant to attack Barron Trump, who was only 10 years old at the time.

“I was appalled by such cruelty,” Melania wrote in her new book. “It was clear to me that she was not interested in raising awareness about autism. I felt that she was attacking my son because she didn’t like my husband.”

Melania was ticked

Understandably, the former first lady was appalled by the video of her young son, whose privacy she guarded fiercely.

“Someone had painstakingly compiled the footage and added captions like, ‘His hands are moving erratically and aren’t touching each other. Then he was spotted making strange movements in his seat, typical of children with autism.’”

Melania wrote, "There is nothing shameful about autism (though O’Donnell’s tweet implied that there was), but Barron is not autistic."

The former first lady and super model also called out the left's violent rhetoric about her husband and family, blaming it for the two attempts on her husband's life. And she's not wrong.
