A video shared by anti-Donald Trump comedian Rosie O’Donnell on Twitter cited several symptoms exhibited by the incoming presidential son Barron Trump which could indicate the 10-year-old is autistic. The video, created and uploaded on Nov 11 by YouTube James Hunter, has become viral with almost 2.5 million views and created a Twitter storm the past few days.

Hunter compiled Barron’s appearance at Republican National Conventions and noted several symptoms that are indicative of autism, supported by the video clips. Because O’Donnell is a known critic of US President-elect Trump, her tweeting about the observations of Hunter renews political wounds caused by the divisive presidential election between Trump and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s supporters.

Inquisitr cites the symptoms listed by the video that Barron could possibly be autistic such as hands that move erratically and do not touch each other while clapping, making strange movements in his seats, wobbly walking, lack of social skills and understanding, and dislikes being touched. However, unfortunately for the “poor, little rich boy,” social media thought Barron’s strange behaviour was the boy just being rude.

If O’Donnell, a former TV host, tweeted also an anti-bullying video as proof the youngest child of Trump with current wife Melania is within the autism spectrum because one of the comedian’s child, Dakota, was diagnosed in September with high functioning autism at age 3.5 years old. Hunter also ends the seven-minute video with a call for social media users to stop bullying the future White House occupants, although the boy would first finish the current school term before transferring to Washington DC.

For her tweet, O’Donnell harvested anger from Twitter users by describing her tweet as “cruel,” “foul” and “shameful” and spreading rumors about the minor billionaire’s son which violates Barron’s privacy, The Wrap reports. For O’Donnell, the retweet was an amazing opportunity to bring attention to the autism epidemic.

However, Tedwater, who also has an autistic child, says the video did not help raise awareness but was just plain cruel. In response to a question by ParanormalNJ, Just Some Goat replied that spreading rumors about 10-year-old kids is shameful. Deplorable Dez called O’Donnell a foul person. Jen Hutton Heger added even if Barron is autistic, he deserves privacy because of his young age.

Although the comedian tweeted that she thinks Barron is angelic, it is a different story when it comes to the 45th president of the country whom she thinks is a madman and hopes the US would be saved from Trump.
