On Monday, Jodi Beggs, a “behavioral economist” and lecturer at Northeastern University, attacked 11-year-old Barron Trump for wearing a t-shirt that read, “The Expert,” saying that it made her throw up in her mouth “a little.”

“Barron Trump is wearing a shirt that reads ‘The Expert’ and I just threw up in my mouth a little,” she said on Twitter, later claiming that she was actually attacking his parents for letting him wear the t-shirt.

Naturally, she got slammed on Twitter:

Good question. Maybe she approves of that activity…

Even if she was, would it really matter?

So I should make my kid take back the Nike shirt that says "born a champion"?

Beggs’ response to this was simply unbelievable:

since you asked, I think it's a nice sentiment on the surface but conveys a sense of entitlement if you think about it too much.

A sense of entitlement? Spoken like a true leftist…

Exactly…

Kids don't have a say in whether they are known to the world bc of their parents. We should leave them be. Plenty else to snark on.

Unless of course, the parents happen to be Donald and Melania Trump. Then all bets are off.

Donald Trump, Jr., also weighed in:

As a parent myself, I hope your kids don't have to deal with daily hate from elitist academics at 11 or any other age. https://t.co/ejFpbeV5RP

Something tells me that won’t happen.

Another person asked:

What did you do when Obama’s daughter was sporting the Marxist/anti-white rapper’s t-shirt? pic.twitter.com/AAwudhJcng

Beggs responded:

Honestly? I rolled my eyes for a similar reason, namely that she wasn't fully aware of what she was representing.

What, no vomit?

The Washington Examiner said the t-shirt worn by the younger Trump is sold out, and contrary to reports, has not been available for some time:

The T-shirt Barron Trump wore when moving into the White House with his parents on Sunday did not immediately sell out at J. Crew, contrary to published reports.

The Washington Examiner and other media outlets reported Monday that the gray cotton T-shirt sported by Barron with the words “The Expert” had quickly sold out online.

In fact, a J. Crew representative told Business Insider that the shirt was part of the retailer’s spring 2015 collection, and “was not re-released yesterday and would have ‘sold out’ long before the president’s son wore the shirt.” A J. Crew representative did not return a request for comment to the Washington Examiner.
