TranscriptA tweet by Ivanka Trump @ivankatrump saying "I cannot believe that Theodore is eight months old today! Happy birthday little teddy bear!" with an admittedly cute picture of a child smiling. It has a reply from @blacknmild saying "this isn't how birthdays work"

Did you ever say “happy birthday” to them on those months? Because I sure didn’t. That would be very weird. She did that because she’s weird. It’s literally not her kid’s birthday.

This also wasn’t some text to the family group chat. This was whoring out her infant son to the world on social media to look human for a second while she and her family work to dismantle a country.

I feel bad for Theodore, honestly. I get what you’re saying, we shouldn’t knock them just for doing every day things. But this was unusual and frankly I have no more sympathy for anyone with the last name Trump who isn’t a child during all of this

I honestly don't remember, but it's entirely possible we said "Happy 8 month birthday!" I didn't tweet about it, but I didn't tweet at all.

Otherwise, I agree with you completely, I just think when we're sending American children to death camps, the first (third?) family's social media habits aren't on the list of hills to die upon.
