A former NBC executive posted online yesterday that Barron Trump, the former president's youngest son, is 'fair game' now he has turned 18.
Mike Sington wrote on Wednesday: 'Barron Trump turns 18 today. He’s fair game now.
After a huge backlash online, accusing Sington of inciting violence against the teen, he deleted the post.
Sington later apologized for the 'fair game' declaration saying he meant the teen is 'fair game' for the media said he never wished anyone 'physical harm.'
"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."
Barron Trump attends Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach County and celebrated his birthday Wednesday as his college decision looms ahead.
