Trump accused of not spending enough time with Barron by Democrat Steve Cohen

A Democrat in the House of Representatives took to Twitter on New Year's Eve to brutally criticize President Donald Trump for a number of alleged shortcomings, including golfing instead of going to church and rarely appearing with his 11-year-old son Barron Trump.

Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen, of Tennessee, ripped the president in a particularly scathing tweet sent on Sunday morning.

"He golfs when he could be reading or be in church or be with his family. Never see him with Barron. You’d think he’d be golfing with Dad occasionally but narcissists only engage in activities where they are the show," Cohen, who happens to be the first Jewish representative from Tennessee, said in his tweet.

"No movies, sports viewing either just Fox! He will start a war!" he added.

The bold message from Cohen drew some backlash on Twitter, including from some who pointed to a recent photo of Barron posing with other young members of the Trump family at Mar-a-Lago taken in the last few days, which shows the president in the background at the same table.

Cohen acknowledged the photo in a subsequent tweet that simply read, "Our child President."

The Democratic congressman has emerged as one of the president's fiercest critics in his first year in office. He recently introduced articles of impeachment against Trump, which failed to pass the House.

He has used strong rhetoric in the past, including in 2011 when he took some criticism for comparing Republicans to Nazis over their efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

"The Germans said enough about the Jews and the people believed it and you had the Holocaust. You tell a lie over and over again. And we've heard on this floor, government takeover of health care," he said at the time.

He later said he regretted the remarks and had not intended to "diminish the horror of the Nazi Holocaust."
