IMO, the real reason why Barron and Melania are largely staying out of the public is because they're targets, too. No breastfeeding Secret Service lady is able to protect a 6'7 man even if she wanted to.
No one under 40 gives a shit about high school photos posted to the internet, because everyone under 40 has done it. And because it was novel it wasn't highly staged/choreographed like it is now.
But Vance being the first Millennial to take part in a Presidential campaign is going to take all the slings and arrows. Just the way it is.
And all the Boomer parents cry out in unison: "Remember when I told you 'someday you may regret posing that photo of yourself doing a kegstand'? That day has come."

Meanwhile those same boomers post everything and anything they do including things about other people without asking prior to said posting if others want it online [forever] because boomers have the same amount of opsec awareness as a toddler.
Boomers don't have to care anymore because they're all retired.
My parents only cared inasmuch they were worried my facebook page would affect my career prospects. But my boss* at the time was friends with me on facebook, so he already knew and didn't care.
*A former sailor in his 50s who used to tell stories about his days "riding the rails" when he was stationed in Thailand. Anything I did paled in comparison to the stuff he told me about.

And thanks to the fact that we live in a hell world, if you don't have a Facebook that shows regular activity then you have a very solid chance of losing career prospects because that is used as a judgement basis in a lot of hiring.

I tried explaining to my parents that a civil war/societal collapse is coming soon and they think I'm hysterical. They think the fact that I want a firearm to defend myself with, means that I must be actively seeking out conflict.
They are retired. They lived their best years during the greatest period of prosperity in human history. I am living my prime years in the decline of an empire, waiting for a violent collapse to happen, watching the American Dream slip further and further away into the darkness.
It is infuriating that even though they see liberals as dangerous idealogues, they have absolutely no clue just how bloodthirsty and zealous they are. They see them as just dumb young people in a phase like hippies. They don't see them for the Bolsheviks that came before.
As I see friends and acquaintances my age perennially act as though it's 2004 I start to understand this mindset a bit more.
Boomers had the TV, my friends have The Seattle Stranger or whatever random blogger they started reading in college. In both cases, it keeps their frame of reference static.
In the beforetimes, people used to engage in tomfoolery without even thinking that it would be used against them on technology that was yet to exist. It was a better time, frankly.
Notice he refers to them as “high school girls” without mentioning that Vance was also in high school at the time. These people are really scum of the Earth. Just absolute bottom of the barrel dirtbags.
Former Senior NBC Executive deletes shockingly inappropriate tweet about Barron Trump turning 18 saying “He’s fair game now.” Mike Sington served as a director of operations for NBC Universal between 1986-2016.
Does the media even talk about them? They pretty much became non-entities when he left office, maybe because Trump basically sucked all the air out of the room.
Big Mike and Lil Mike show up every so often in the tabloids, especially in fashion articles. It helps the troons find dresses that allow them to tuck.
The only presidential child I ever remember being relevant is Clinton's and that's because she is both painfully ugly and involved in an extreme amount of political scandals with her parents associates.
I only care about them in so far as they make any attempt to influence my life, and in so far as Hunter Biden had sex with one (both?) of them when they were not yet of age, and gets away with it purely because he's politically connected.

"Riding the rails" sounds like it has something to do with receiving anal from ladyboys to my uninitiated ear.
Me: "Riding the rails?"
Him: "You know, laying Thais"
Man loved his puns.
Puns are the lowest form of comedy, unless you thought of it first.
I got a genuine chuckle out of the joke, but isn't 'riding the rails' a euphemism for catching a ride on a freight train, not laying a track?
Yeah. I was at the age where I could see myself doing that exact sort of "well ackshually" in response, but I don't think I did.

Damn. Looks like the Trump campaign will have to pack up and go home because someone called JD Vance in a high school photo "weird."
Drumpf is finished.
Yeah given he's a former NBC executive, there's REALLY bad ways to take that comment..

Oh no, Vance was childish when he was a child.
"I know, you're shocked."
He's also big into the "men punching women in the face" camp https://archive.ph/e8USq
Things he doesn't know:
what men and women look like
the difference between metal and medal

I still don't care about the Obama kids, even though the media loves them. Leave families alone

They show up on my Yahoo start page about monthly.
On my phone when I open Google it's the Currently page.

You mean previously? Because I'd say Hunter and the Big Guy's Ukraine shenanigans are very relevant.
I only care about them in so far as they make any attempt to influence my life, and in so far as Hunter Biden had sex with one (both?) of them when they were not yet of age, and gets away with it purely because he's politically connected.
"JD Vance stands there while three classmates take silly photo."
People being in the wrong bathroom is definitely weird, but I'm not sure if that's the message they want to send
Oh look. There's that "current thing" buzzword again.
Also, it's strangely photogenic. Like, it looks like a whacky album cover.
