Not all kids coming over the border are with their parents, there are human trafficking problems going on, so there's that, too. But, Trump (or you or me) will ever be so desperate to know what it might be like to take the risk of being arrested and separated from your kids, because we are being driven away from our country.
You make a valid point, however, the words were said with the intent to cause harm. Whether or not this guy is important should not really matter. He put his opinion out there for everyone to see. I think it was vile and he should have known better. There's lots of ways to say that a person disagrees with the current administration without resorting to threats on a child who doesn't have anything to do with what is going on.
I may not like tRump but I certainly wouldn't wish ill will towards his kid. It's not the kid's fault that he has a narcissistic, misogynistic, bigoted,
piece of crap for a father.

Between hurt that can possibly be caused by words and hurt that is unavoidably caused by actually being ripped from one’s parents?
Between one child and 2300 child that would have been many more but for the fact that there remains some portion of this country that still deserve life for sympathizing more with children than with opportunistic racist troglodytes looking to cling to undeserved privileges?
Between those outages by children being ripped from their parents and this those who snipe from hiding place behind baby trump while idiotically and cravenly seeking political advantage by ripping other people’s babies from their vastly less criminal parents?
Get some perspective.
I have perspective, thanks. I never said that what is going on was right. I'm just as pissed as everyone else. But see my reply above. If you can't understand it then you miss the point entirely.
I agree, I'm not sure though he was actually willing bad intent upon Trump's kid. It was more to prove a point...but I get it, and don't disagree.
But, just think...his words are still just words, and while they are vile, it's far more vile what's actually going on with others' kids. I liken this to a friend of mine who flirts with married women, and I tell him...''oh, as long as they're not your wife, eh?''
