James Hunter posted a video titled “Is Barron Trump Autistic? #StopTheBullying” on YouTube in early November where he listed several signs that Donald Trump’s 10-year-old son is autistic — including that he doesn’t clap properly, makes “strange movements in his seat,” and displays “antisocial behavior.”
After the first lady-elect threatened to sue and demanded an apology this week, Hunter made a new video apologizing for his previous one.
However, as TMZ pointed out, he is running advertisements before the video plays on YouTube — meaning he is making cash off the video that has been viewed almost 90,000 times.

Hunter’s original video reached so many people because Rosie O’Donnell tweeted out a link to it.
“I was just sending it privately to people who were bullying him to explain to them that Barron might be autistic, and that’s it isn’t OK to bully him for it, because I know what it’s like to be bullied for being autistic,” he said. “But then Rosie O’Donnell shared it and it blew up.” (RELATED: Someone Alleged That Barron Trump Is Autistic.

“I have a lot of respect for Melania Trump. I believe she’s a very smart and I’ll think she’ll be a great First Lady.”
