11-Year Old Barron Trump Panicked & Screamed When He Saw The Kathy Griffin Beheading Photo

If you didn’t think Kathy Griffin’s latest photoshoot was funny, this may change your mind:

It turns out that 11-year old Barron Trump, without any context, had to see an image of his father’s decapitated head on the news, and he was understandably terrified.

Let’s back up: a few days ago, Griffin posted an image of herself holding a bloody replica of Trump’s head. That picture was met with almost universal disapproval, with even liberal commenters saying that the comic had gone too far. KG would eventually apologize and remove the pic from her sites, but by this time, the story was already (in Trump’s words) yuge.

Of course, the President commented on the controversy on Twitter, and when he did, he invoked his children:

Now, given Trump’s history of saying absurd things on the internet, you could be forgiven for taking this statement with a grain of salt. But it turns out -- at least this time – the President was telling the truth.

Sources have revealed that Barron saw the image of his beheaded dad on the news, alone. Not understanding that it was a ‘joke’, he immediately started screaming for his mother and ran from the room.

You can disapprove of his father all you want, but you shouldn’t hold your grudge with The Donald against his child. “He’s 11,” explained the source. “He doesn’t know who Kathy Griffin is and the head she was holding resembled his dad.”

So then, for the first time and probably not for long, sympathy is actually with the Trump family.
