Former NBC Universal senior executive Mike Sington continued his bizarre obsession with Barron Trump on his 18th birthday Wednesday.

Sington wrote in a now-deleted tweet that Barron is “fair game” since becoming a legal adult, according to Internet Archive. The NBC executive has previously described the former president’s son as “handsome” and has fawned over his height.

“Barron Trump turns 18 today. He’s fair game now,” Sington wrote Wednesday.

Sington told Newsweek that “fair game” meant it is fair for the press to criticize him.

“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,” he said, according to Newsweek.

He wrote in one tweet from Aug. 28, 2020, that the then-14-year-old should be “gay” and “marry a guy from a s**t hole country,” according to screenshots.

He previously described Barron as “handsome” and declared “he should be a model” in a tweet from Nov. 27, 2019, highlighting his height and fashion sense.

“First Son could be a model!” he wrote of the then-13-year-old boy. “A very fashionable Barron towers over his father, who is 6’3.”

He also referred to Barron as “cool” in a tweet from June 17, 2017, and has posted photographs of the minor on several more occasions, according to screenshots. (RELATED: Fake Don Jr. Scolds Reporter For Making Fun Of Barron Trump)

Several social media users immediately slammed Sington for his bizarre tweet.

“Former Senior NBC Executive deletes shockingly inappropriate tweet about Barron Trump turning 18 saying ‘He’s fair game now.’ Mike Sington served as a director of operations for NBC Universal between 1986-2016,” author and influencer Oli London wrote.

“Creep Mike Sington DELETES tweet saying he wants to date Barron Trump!” Anthony Hughes said.

“But wait… It’s much worse than we thought… It appears NBC Exec Mike Sington has a very creepy obsession with Barron Trump going back years,” Libs of TikTok wrote.

The former president’s youngest son has been subject to mockery by liberal media figures and scholars. Former first lady Melania Trump said constitutional scholar Pamela Karlan “should be ashamed” of herself after she made a joke about him during a December 2019 hearing before the House Judiciary Committee.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
