US – A notorious share of any presidential campaign is the relation between a candidate and his potential voters. One of the best and most typical of examples is in the treatment of children. While other candidates usually try to kiss the babies their mothers hold for them, Donald Trump tried a different approach.
During a rally in Ashburn, Virginia, he was giving a speech about economic dealings with China and Chinese business, when suddenly a baby on the audience started to cry. At first, it appeared he was going to have a humanizing moment as he talked about his love for children and empathized with the mother.
“Don’t worry about that baby. I love babies! I hear that baby crying. I like it! What a baby. What a beautiful baby. Don’t worry, don’t worry. The mom’s running around, like … don’t worry about it, you know? It’s young and beautiful and healthy, and that’s what we want,” Said the presidential candidate, making everyone believe he didn’t care about the noise.
Trying to retake his train of thought about China, commenting about how the Asian country has “ripped us to shreds,” the baby cried a second time. Trump then proceed to ask for the child to be removed, in a sarcastic tone.

The candidate’s aggressive response to the situation has unleashed numerous chains of tweets and remarks on social media, commenting about his rudeness and whether he’s the best choice for a president.
The media is going crazy. They totally distort so many things on purpose. Crimea, nuclear, "the baby" and so much more. Very dishonest!
