'Greta is an activist. Barron is a 13-year-old who wants privacy.' Melania Trump hits back at accusations of hypocrisy for guarding her son while Donald attacks eco-leader Thunberg, 16

The White House pushed back Friday against claims that Donald Trump's tweeted jab at global warming activist Greta Thunberg, 16, is incompatible with Melania Trump's protective insistence that her 13-year-old son Barron is out-of-bounds for reporters.
The first lady has crusaded against cyber-bullying as one plank in her 'BeBest' platform.
The president mocked Thunberg on Thursday after Time magazine named the jet-setting, school-bycotting teen its Person of the Year, leaving his spokeswoman to parry claims of hypocrisy.
'Their son is not an activist who travels the globe giving speeches,' White House Press Secretary Stephanie said of the Trumps. 'He is a 13-year-old who wants and deserves privacy.'
Obama managed to de-politicize his children and nobody thought anything unusual was going on.
