Ruining kids to get Trump

Claudia Conway is a 15-year-old dealing with her parents very public marital strife. To call her father a horse's ass is to insult that part of a horse. Her mother, Kellyanne, was a fixture in the Trump presidency, which is not very cool among her crowd. Moving from Alpine, New Jersey, to hostile anti-Trumpville has to be stressful.

She discovered social media to air her views. The media latched onto her posts, and she became the anti-Kellyanne woman the media was looking for.

Except, she is not a woman.

She is a teenage girl in a bad situation.

A situation the media enjoys exploiting. They amplified her juvenile writings, building her up for what they knew would be an inevitable fall. She needed intervention by the two adults who brought her into this world.

Finally, Kellyanne quit the White House to try to save her marriage and her family. Then she and her husband put the clamp on further media interviews of their minor daughter.

On Tuesday, she broke out of her social media lockdown for one post.

Hi everyone! Please get this on Twitter as I do not have access to my account right now. I am tired of the mainstream media using my situation and my views for their own personal benefit. I am a child and I am to be treated as one. This is severely impacting my mental health.

Also, I wrote this. It seems quite contradictory, I am aware, but after taking some time to reflect (instead of reacting impulsively), I have carefully evaluated my shortcomings and decided that this is no way to use my platform. These media outlets are blowing this out of proportion. 

It has come to my attention that my recent TikToks and comments have sparked intense controversy and uproar. This was not my intent. I am appalled at the mainstream media’s efforts to exploit a teenage girl, which is negatively affecting my mental health. I am not the “whistleblower” of our time. I am simply a fifteen year-old with a following and bad luck when it comes to media coverage. Leave my family and me alone.

When I said that President Trump was not “doing better”, I was, as many teenagers are, speculating and assuming. I have absolutely no “special” insight into the President’s health status. I did not get any information from my mother. I wish the President and the First Lady great health and a speedy recovery.

On Friday night, my mother tested positive for COVID-19. She had three different tests done. The first test was negative; the second two tests were positive. A miscommunication between us led me to think that she told me her test was negative instead of positive, without me knowing she had three tests done. My mother did not lie to me. She has done everything in her power to ensure my safety and health and the safety of the rest of our family amidst her (and my) diagnosis. 

On Saturday, I was experiencing horrific symptoms of COVID-19. I posted a TikTok video that night which stated, “currently dying of covid!” I never said I had tested positive. It was not until the next day that I tested positive. I apologize if my video was misleading.

I am currently quarantining and isolating with my mother. We are doing everything we can to stay healthy. We are going to enjoy our quarantine together, away from social media. 

Please spread love.

Maybe she wrote it. Maybe her parents did. I don't know. But it is a sound argument for the media to back off. It won't because the girl's mother is a Republican.

Democrat kids can do drugs and steal money without consequence. Hunter Biden is 50 and still acting like a teen. Why not? His father's senatorship shielded him from the law for decades.

But Republican kids have to grow up in a hurry. The Bush twins drinking underage was a scandal. Biden's boy in his 40s getting busted out of the Navy over his coke habit did not make the nightly news.

Teens make mistakes.

Naval officers who do coke commit felonies -- which are ignored when your dad is vice president.

There is an advantage in all this. All 4 of Trump's adult children are productive citizens. 

Compare that to the Kennedy clan.

This year, I celebrated the 50th anniversary of my 17th birthday. No way in hell I would want to go through that drama again. I don't have to because there are no press clippings.

My hope is Claudia Conway can look back at her press clippings 50 years from now and roll her eyes.

But first she has to make it to 16.
