Melania Trump is mad, and she has every right to be. The big news this week is that of comedian Kathy Griffin posting a photo of herself holding a mock decapitated head of The First Lady's husband, President Donald Trump. The gross snapshot has caused an uproar, even from those who are completely against the POTUS and what he stands for. Apparently, 11-year-old Barron saw the horrible photo of what looked to be his dad, and now his mother has come forward to make an official statement shaming Griffin and questioning her mental health.
What did Melania have to say?
The First Lady is usually very poised, but when it comes to anyone hurting her son, she is like every mother whose claws come out when something hurts their children. Just like everyone else, she found it very disturbing, to say the least. According to USA Today, a statement was issued by Stephanie Grisham, Mrs. Trump's press secretary.
She mentioned that with all of the evil things happening right now, you just have to wonder about someone who would do such a thing as Kathy Griffin did. "When you consider some of the atrocities happening in the world today, a photo opportunity like this is simply wrong and makes you wonder about the mental health of the person who did it, Melania Trump stated.
The picture is so disturbing that news broadcasts had to issue a warning for parents concerning having their kids see it. However, the photos are now all over the internet.

Is an apology enough for the Trump family?
Kathy Griffin did issue an apology, but it may be too late for that.
Now that Barron Trump has seen the photo and was supposedly horrified, the First Family may not be quite so forgiving. The president tweeted earlier today, calling her sick and saying that his youngest son was having a hard time with the whole thing. In fact, many do not believe that her apology was sincere at all.
Photo shoot backlash
While Melania Trump has questioned Kathy Griffin's mental stability, the comedian is receiving plenty of backlash from pretty much everyone else on social media. In addition, she is being dropped left and right from various sources. Her endorsement deal with Squatty Potty is no longer valid, and she has also been fired by CNN and will no longer appear on New Year's Eve with Anderson Cooper. They called her joke "disgusting and offensive."
This was an extreme way for Kathy Griffin to get her point across. In a video that was released earlier, it showed her and artist/photographer Tyler Shields chatting about what they were doing. Griffin was heard saying that what they were doing was going to "make some noise," and it sure has done exactly that.
Unfortunately, that noise also caused one young boy to question whether that was really his dad in the photo.

You have to wonder if Griffin thinks that it was all worth it now that she is losing a few of her jobs because of it. She will also have the Secret Service at her doorstep as well, if they haven't been there already. It is not a good thing to pretend to kill anyone, let alone the President of the United States, joke or no joke.
What do you think of the statement made by Melania Trump? Did Kathy Griffin go too far, or is there really something up with her?
