Melania Trump SHOCK! Did First Lady snub OWN SON in rare New Year’s Eve festive snap?

The First Lady (FLOTUS) shared the snap with the caption: “Wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy, Peaceful and Prosperous New Year!” But eagle-eyed Twitter users were quick to notice Mrs Trump had cropped someone out of the image, leading them to speculate who the individual was. At first glance, the image appears to show the First Lady alone.

But the bottom right-hand corner of the black and white image shows a human eyeball, which appears to belong to a young child.

The most likely explanation is that eye in the corner of the photo belongs to Barron, Donald and Melania Trump’s 12-year-old son.

The mystery person seems unaware they were soon to be cropped out of the photo before FLOTUS posted it to her millions of social media fans.

Mrs Trump’s apparent “snub” caused bewildered Twitter users to take to the platform to question her decision to remove her child from the image.

Aliya Karimi asked: “Why did you crop out your child?”

Confused, one person said: “Wait, did she just crop a child out of her New Years selfie?”

And another penned: “Now this is how you crop your child out with class.”

FLOTUS may have chosen to crop out her son for the sake of his privacy.

Speaking about young Barron in an interview with Fox News last month, she said: “I want to give him as normal a life as possible.

“This is not a normal life but I like to protect him and give him the childhood that he deserves.”

She added: “He is very happy, he is strong, he is tough, he is enjoying life in Washington.”

The First Lady also conceded Barron was just like his father, Donald, in that he was a “fighter”.

She said: “He is a fighter.

“He has a soft beautiful heart but he is a fighter, too, he is very strong.”
