A former NBC honcho sparked intense backlash for suggesting former President Trump’s youngest son was now “fair game” for turning 18 years old.
Mike Sington, a retired NBCUniversal senior executive who is better known for his pro-liberal social media posts, commemorated Barron Trump’s birthday on Wednesday with a bizarre post on X.
“Barron Trump turns 18 today. He’s fair game now,” Sington wrote, sharing an image of him with his father.
After being blasted on social media for appalling post, Sington deleted it, but screenshots are still circulating on social media.
One X user, Veronica Tatro, tagged the Secret Service and the FBI, and wrote, “@SecretService — Hey, @FBI > @MikeSington is inciting attack on President Trump’s son. Kindly raid his home/office/businesses, and hold him accountable for the world to see. Make certain @cnnbrk has cameras rolling during the raid.”

Sington then offered a half-hearted apology that actually made it even worse.
In a statement to Newsweek, Sington claimed, “I posted he was ‘fair game’ now, meaning, as an adult, he’s ‘fair game’ for criticism from the press. Someone pointed out to me ‘fair game’ could mean fair game to be harmed. I don’t wish physical harm on anyone, so I took it down. I listen to the comments and criticism I receive.”
He did not explain why he felt an 18-year-old boy who has never even made any public statements and has stayed completely out of the limelight suddenly now deserves “criticism” from the press.

Sington is still under fire for his comments. X user Capitalist Mike wrote, “Mike, you literally counted the days down until he was 18 so you could attack him. He’s never even made public statements. You are a horrible human being.”
Mike, you literally counted the days down until he was 18 so you could attack him. He’s never even made public statements.
You are a horrible human being.

Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik wrote, “This grown man was counting down the days until he can criticize a teenage. So freaking creepy.”

Dude we get it. You’re either creepy and gay, or creepy and vindictive. Either way it’s a little weird that you were waiting for Barron Trump to turn 18… https://t.co/G7XRGFhZK6

You mean the one you deleted?
Imagine saying this about another person and one so young.
How would feel if your child was now targeted?
You’re a morally weak, sad person attempting to score political points off a kid https://t.co/mMZIUHRej4 pic.twitter.com/5XcH66kWJc

I’m not Republican but the idea of directing a hate mob at a kid who just turned 18 years old for the sole reason of being he’s related to a bad person is disgusting, obsessive, and deranged. Embarrassing and says a lot about your character https://t.co/LQZaZdsvyQ pic.twitter.com/Wb4YE2l14O

#Gutfeld Hey, @MikeSington, what did Barron Trump do, for you to attack him!? He’s 18 now, he’s still in high school, completely innocent of anything! #Trump2024. #BarronTrump. https://t.co/S6IkAZfbu2

Your post is disgusting regardless of your claimed intent. What criticism does he deserve? What has he done that’s now “fair game?” You are a predator and a sick fuck. You just try messing with him and you’ll be facing harassment charges, just for starters. https://t.co/TQwRMJ1ea8

Screenshots of another post Sington made about Barron in August 2020 are also resurfacing. He shared a photo of Barron standing next to then VP Mike Pence and bizarrely said he hopes Barron grows up to be gay.
