It was intended to be a routine moment of praise for his wife's charitable endeavours, yet Donald Trump has once again managed to send social media into a tailspin with a single, perplexing turn of phrase. During a recent public appearance, the president left political observers and internet sleuths alike scratching their heads after he appeared to completely dissociate himself from the paternity of his youngest son, Barron.
The incident occurred late on Thursday night at an event where the 78-year-old was discussing Melania Trump's latest project. In what critics are describing as a moment of 'bizarre' detachment, he referred to the 18-year-old Barron not as his son, nor even as 'our' son, but explicitly as Melania's alone.
