Barron has been the target of mean tweets and cruel jokes on social media since the inauguration.

“It is a longstanding tradition that the children of presidents are afforded the opportunity to grow up outside of the political spotlight," the White House said in a statement Tuesday. "The White House fully expects this tradition to continue."

On Monday, a Saturday Night Live writer was suspended for a nasty tweet about the first boy.
