Her tweet is being bombarded with replies that call her tone deaf and accuse her of deliberating trolling liberals who are upset about her (for the moment) father-in-laws policy of holding migrant children in cages.
Several high-profile right wingers have publicly compared the DOJs detention centers to summer camps, among them hate group leader Tony Perkins and Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham.
UPDATE: Vanessa Trump deleted the tweet before I could even finish this post and provide some of the replies

At least she saw sense - but how the hell can you be so tome deaf????

(6,402 posts)Because all it does is make a lot of other parents that are sending their kids off to summer camp retreat from talking about it and other conversations.
Plus, she's nine-months separated from Don Jr.
I know on my FB feed there's a lot of talk with parents prepping kids for various summer activities. Should they all be shouted at for being tone deaf?

While she might be tone deaf, "Camp" isn't a trigger word.

The object of this particular outrage is someone that's divorcing the son of the President and left them nine months ago.
It just feels like a bad angle to take when there are so many legitimate things to go after.

(65,490 posts)It's the summer camp reference after what Ingram said that is troubling.
Blue_Adept
(6,402 posts)Again, she has no influence anywhere in regard to this. She, like millions of other mothers and fathers, are talking about summer camp.
Why with HER is it troubling?
