Gus Walz vs Barron Trump storms Internet as Dem leaders’ children take spotlight – Times of India

A Gus Walz versus Barron Trump battle took over the Internet after Gus took the spotlight of the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night by his emotional outburst when his father was speaking at the convention. 17-year-old Gus said ‘that’s my dad!’ with tears of happiness rolling down his eyes. Internet hailed it as the most precious moment of the convention while many Republicans sharpened their claws calling Gus ‘retard’.Earlier, it was Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff who was called ‘weird’ by the Republicans — for hugging her father Doug Emhoff.
“I see Tim Walz’s kids crying tears of joy and it touches my heart. And then I think about the mutilation & abuse he’s allowing in MN of other ppl’s children who say they’re gender confused and I am infuriated,” former Fox host Megyn Kelly wrote.

“Pray every day that your sons grow up to be like Barron Trump and not Gus Walz,” a MAGA handle wrote drawing flak. “Don’t take the bait. Gus has learning disorders, ADHD, and is on the autism spectrum,” one wrote. “That’s low. I stand for Trump but this child is 17 and has disabilities. All children should be off limits. You should be ashamed of yourself. Delete the post,” another wrote.
“Both boys appear to be fine young man. Leave the kids out of it,” a comment wrote. Some detractors of Tim Walz said Gus should be kept out of this. “Can’t stand Walz, but his son should be left alone! It was a sweet moment for his son. Same goes for Barron, leave the kids alone!” one wrote.
Tim Walz and Gwen earlier disclosed that Gus had a non-verbal learning disorder, anxiety disorder and ADHD. Before Gus, it was Ella on the radar. 25-yar-old fashion designer Ella shielded her stepmother Kamala Harris when she came under the ‘childless cat ladies’ attack. 18-year-old Barron Trump, Donald Trump’s youngest son, on the other hand, has remained in the spotlight for long – this year he made a political debut attending his father’s rally.
