I just saw Barron Trump (a rarity it seems).

[BigmanPigman]

He must be 6'2" already. How come we NEVER see him, are they hiding him? This is the only "first child" that is so seldom seen. Even Amy Carter was seen more than him.

[TeamPooka]

1. If he's anything like his father, I'd hide him too.

[whathehell]

10. Um, he's just a kid of 11 or 12.

Last edited Wed Nov 21, 2018, 07:12 PM - Edit history (1)

Speculation on his similarly to Daddy is premature.

[TeamPooka]

19. All accounts of Trump as a child are horrible. He would hit teachers in the face

There's a reason he was sent off to military school.
What's that they say about being a chip off the old block or acorns not falling far from the tree.
If only we had some examples of other children Trump had and how they turned out.
If only there were a Don Jr, or an Eric to show us the kind of kids he raises.

[pangaia]

26. If only. :)))))))))

[kskiska]

29. When his father found his collection of switchblades

that he'd bought in Times Square he put him in military school.

[TeamPooka]

73. #themoreyouknow thanks, didn't know that part

[kskiska]

101. Regarding the switchblades

(excerpt)
Trump and Peter Brant would take the subway into Manhattan without their parents knowing, Blair said. (Trump mentioned taking the F train near his home in a New York Times interview.)

The two would go to a magic store on West 49th Street and Broadway, according to Blair. "There they bought stink bombs and smoke bombs and plastic vomit," she wrote. "Another favorite was hot peppered gum, which they gave to unsuspecting schoolmates. After seeing 'West Side Story,' they became fascinated with switchblades."

When his father found the switchblades, Trump was sent to the New York Military Academy, Brant said in Blair's book.

[DownFromTheMountain]

104. He should sue Pee Wee

That sounds like a part of Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

[whathehell]

86. No one is contesting that..

but damning an 11 year old kid in with the "sins of the father" is absurd.

[TeamPooka]

90. I wish the kid all the best

[question everything]

98. According the Ivana Trump, he was never around, she was the one who raised them

[Autumn]

2. I wonder why they don't allow him to go out in public? School and things like that.

He wasn't even with then when the Christmas tree was delivered. It was just Trump and the First Nude. It seems like that would be a family thing.

[guillaumeb]

6. I like that.

The First Nude. And respectfully capitalized.

[Autumn]

68. I try to be respectful.

[milestogo]

70. Sounds like a shade of pantyhose.

[Mira]

97. I'm laughing so hard about the First Nude

I'm in coughing fits.

[SMC22307]

35. "First Nude."

[Autumn]

55. I've been calling her that for a while. I'm not about to put her in the same

category with all previous First Ladies.

[MuseRider]

58. The Crude and the First Nude.

Nice job. I have been referring to her as the Naked Model but this is much better.

[Autumn]

66. The Crude and the First Nude. Has a ring to it

[brewens]

60. I like "Mailordia". n/t

[Autumn]

65. Good one!

[MuseRider]

88. LOL!! n/t

[libdem4life]

54. The Cretin and the First Nude.

And we wonder about Barron? Dad doesn't want him...didn't ever want him...and Mom...just ugh...the word Smother Mother comes to mind. He was her ticket to fame and fortune. And being an only child on top of that? You think he hasn't seen internet photos of his nude Mom from his golden tower? Rapunzel comes to mind. That will scar a kid's anima right there.

[Autumn]

69. He's a cute kid and I wish him the best. I hope he doesn't take after his brothers,

But with a father like Cretin I won't hold my breath.

[libdem4life]

74. Hate to say it, but he doesn't have much of a chance.

Mommy is going to be there for him until he's at least 30. I think The Cretin is not even in the picture. Even more sad. A boy needs a man...in short supply in that clan. Wish him the best.

[3catwoman3]

105. He didn't want Tiffany either. He is reported to have...

...said, when Maples informed him or her pregnancy, “Well, what are we going to do about this?” Not exactly an ecstatic marriage proposal, IMO.

[MLAA]

81. First Nude

I love it! presidedent lewd and first nude.

[Autumn]

82. President Lewd and First Nude.

Perfect!

[libdem4life]

111. President Crude and First Nude...President Lewd and First Nude.

Both great choices. Think I'll take Lewd...with his grabbing tendencies. That's it.

Makes the Republicans plays on Obama's name kind of mild. OBummer comes to mind. He just didn't inspire such withering names. They hated him with a hot passion. I don't get that hot hatred with Democrats, as it seems he's more laughable. I can't hate him...he's just pathetic and a weird caricature . The cartoonists are having a field day.

[onenote]

107. Let it go. He's a kid.

And Sasha and Malia (and even Barack himself) did not always participate in the arrival of the WH Christmas tree ceremony.

[Autumn]

110. How bout you let it go and let people discuss what they want? No one is talking bad about him.

[libdem4life]

112. He is now an adolescent. Tough age for this.

Having been a teacher, it's my guess that he'd be seriously...at least verbally...bullied. Lots of junior high school boys are online looking at porn. Imagine knowing your mother could pop up at any time. That right there is enough to seriously scar a boy. And you know daddy abuses him verbally...like he does everyone else.

Also, he has something going on in the brain which, not a psych, but I can see. That also answers the school question and the closeness to his mother, and to his father's dismissal of him.

[CottonBear]

3. The long standing press agreement is to not report on president's children.

Also, apparently, he and his mother live with her parents in Potamac, MD, where he attends a private school.

I feel sorry for both him and Tiffany Trump.

Uday, Qusay and First Daughter-Wife all ought to be in prison, though. They are thoroughly complicant in the criminal enterprise that is the Trump presidency.

[BigmanPigman]

17. Melanie, her parents and Barron supposedly reside in the White House.

They have since the Summer after the inauguration. Did I miss something?

[secondwind]

56. Melania and her parents live in Potomac MD. With Barron.

All of Washington knows this.

[BigmanPigman]

63. I just googled it and read that they live in the W House.

https://www.businessinsider.com/does-melania-trump-live-in-white-house-separate-townhouse-dc-2018-5

[sheshe2]

64. "The long standing press agreement is to not report on president's children."

That has never stopped the GOPEE from calling Amy Carter and Chelsea dogs or reporting where Obama's girls were going on vacation which was a breach of protocol.

[Hortensis]

4. People are nasty. He's being protected. Access to

DU's probably blocked. He doesn't need this.

Height, wow. We could see that happening. Two of our grandsons are his age and are medium-tall prepuberty, but he'd tower over them.

[OAITW r.2.0]

11. I'd say that the parents are shielding him from the public.

You always saw the Obama girls in public, because the vast majority were happy to see them in public.

[Hortensis]

16. They appeared on balconies and at events, waving and smiling,

pretty much the same as Chelsea Clinton.

How soon we forget, for instance, how Fox and other right-wing media trolled for assassins; but before and after the major right-wing media were doing it social media and others were doing it. That first year especially I was terribly afraid Obama would be assassinated.

The Obama girls were themselves targeted with new death threats every day, but in spite of that even, there were a shocking number of Secret Service and WH police scandals arising from despicable refusal or neglect of some to do their jobs even adequately.

I imagine Barron's mother has been the one responsible for keeping Barron as separated from and unassociated with this presidency -- itself -- as possible, not just from nasty comments on social media. She was extremely unhappy when Trump won and must have realized it was all going to get very bad and be something Barron would carry with him and have to deal with forever.

[OilemFirchen]

5. He's an anchor baby.

Apparently his parents are ashamed of him.

[guillaumeb]

7. And his mother practiced chain migration. eom

[oberliner]

8. Why do you want to see him?

[BigmanPigman]

18. Curiosity.

I want to see which parent and siblings he resembles at his current age. The last photo I saw of him was about 1 1/2 years ago.

[former9thward]

9. Children should have their privacy.

They should not be used as a prop for the entertainment of the media or anyone else.

[MontanaMama]

12. I saw video of him yesterday.

He’s incredibly tall. He seems like a quiet kid. I can’t imagine what his life is like with two narcissistic parents...one of which is one of the most vile, cruel human beings I can think of. I hope he grows up and ends the tRump family tradition of lying, cheating and gifting.

[hlthe2b]

13. Here.. the British tabloids have photos. He surely doesn't smile in public...

[ProudMNDemocrat]

20. Barron looks very detached.....alone.

As much as I detest Donald and Melania Trump, I do feel for the young son. He looks so alone, unhappy really.

[kskiska]

31. During the inauguration festivities

I saw him try to strike his mother at one point.

[Tipperary]

44. Cool story bro.

[Polybius]

95. Got a link?

I have not seen that.

[kskiska]

100. No, just something I observed on TV.

It looked like he and his mother were having an animated discussion. She seemed to be trying to get him to calm down or something when he pulled his arm away and appeared to raise it to attempt to hit her. There'll be more to his story. He's one that won't be joining the family business for one reason or another more obvious one.

[onenote]

109. Really. Barron tries to hit mom and there isn't a single internet story about it?

Maybe you didn't see what you think you saw.

What i recall, and what was widely reported (and shown in film clips) is that during the inauguration parade, Trump, Melania, and Barron were walking down Pennsylvania Avenue and Melania reached over to hold Barron's hand and, not unlike the reaction of many 10 year olds, he pulled his hand away, not wanting to be seen holding his mom's hand.

[violetpastille]

83. Early in the T Administration

I remember him being at a "thing" on stage with his family and I he was playing peekaboo with one of the Trump babies. It was such a sweet, endearing gesture.

He was so in the moment connecting with the baby and he didn't seem to give a shit about the crowd and the cameras and the attention.

I'm reading a lot into a moment. But I thought that anyone that can block out that level of distraction and be there for a baby or an animal to make sure they are okay - is probably equipped with an empathy chip.

tldr; I think he's going to be a human.

[llmart]

43. None of them smile much.

It just reminds me of what my parents always told me, "Money doesn't buy happiness."

I see Melanie finally figured out how to put her arms in the sleeves

Also, it's fairly clear to me that they were told recently by somebody that they should try to hold hands in public.

[Hotler]

45. Money doesn't buy class either. nt

[d_r]

80. i see that picture

and what I hear in my head is "Daddy didn't give affection and the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear"

[DBoon]

102. He looks like a goth in the making

in my opinion, he is the only member of that family with any self-awareness. That must make him sad.

[Bleacher Creature]

14. He's facing some tall odds, so I'm glad to see him left alone.

He's the son of a man who will go down as one of the most reviled figures in American history. He's living in an environment that produces horrible excuses for human beings,as evidenced by at least three of his four older siblings. And there are persistent rumors of him having his own issues.

He needs his privacy if he's to overcome any of that.

[whathehell]

15. Trump is probably uninvolved with the kid, which is

sad for the boy, but likely typical for Chump..
Seeing Trump with his son, even on the golf course, would "humanize" his image a bit, but like everything else, he likely could care less.

[TeamPooka]

22. We know what 3 of his kids turned out like. Trump kids always turn out like Donald.

I fully expect him to turn out to be an asshole like Dad when he grows up.

[whathehell]

37. "I fully expect him to turn out to be an asshole like Dad when he grows up".

I'm sure you do. That said, you might want to give him the chance to grow up before "calling" it, if you will.

[SoCalDem]

21. I feel sorry for the kid

He always seems withdrawn and silent..

Based on the handwriting from last year's Xmas card, I believe he has learning difficulties..



What a rotten father that poor kid has

[BigmanPigman]

24. As a former teacher ...umm...not the first time this has come up.

[Lefta Dissenter]

34. I think

Donald wrote all three of those signatures. His own and Melanie’s look exactly the same, and then Barron’s is forced, juvenile printing - like a cartoonist would produce.

[BigmanPigman]

39. Upon closer examination...I think you are correct.

I have a keen eye, former artist/illustrator and former teacher (handwriting, printing and forgery expert), and you really may be onto something there. The school VP and I had to go through my students' writing journals, in both cursive and print, of all 38 of my 6th graders to find out who was framing another student for something. We caught the student through the handwriting samples.

I am sure the Donald called himself Barron (a not so clever ruse) in the past when pretending to call into radio programs promoting himself in the 80s or 90s so he probably has no problem writing it as his own name too. He is a really sick, sick, sick individual.

[Lefta Dissenter]

42. Oh, sheesh!

I had completely forgotten about “John Barron.” Duh! It really is fascinating that he would go on to choose that name for his son. I wish we could just enjoy some wild speculation about his mental state and not have to worry about the security and future of our globe.

[Separation]

67. My son has Autism

Even at 20 he is unable to write his name in cursive. He is about an 11 or 12-year-olds mentality. He knows that he is "different", I always ask him though, "What is normal?" Its a very specific question that has countless answers, I always want my son to know that just because he may be "different" he is very normal for my son.

He recently has started to go through what I am calling, "His second growth spurt". He has been an inch or two taller than me for some years. This, this is different, he is starting to age if you will. We have always called him Marky, it's an endearing name, but a name that he is starting to see as a babyname. So now we call him Junior, or Mark John. Ya can't have two Mark's in the same house, itll sound like a dog with a hair lip lives there, Mark mark mark.

As soon as I saw Barron, I knew that he has some sort of learning disability. I cant even begin to imagine what he has to put up with in his house. We adore our son, shower him with love, protect him from those that would take advantage of him. I imagine that's why we dont see Barron as much as any of the other first children. Seeing how his parents could be on the list of "Top 10 Evil Couples" it could be their form of protecting him. Trump probably thinks that people would make fun of his child, because that's his own M.O. if he were to be in the public. Then again, I cant even imagine living inside of a glass bowl, or how that would even affect my kids.

[d_r]

76. my 14- and 11-year-olds

do not know cursive

[violetpastille]

84. They don't teach it in school anymore.

Nor the reading of analog clocks.

[kskiska]

23. I was wondering whether he was still alive.

He'll be shaving by the time they leave, and we'll have only seen him a handful of times.

[Patterson]

25. In my opinion, he may be on the autism spectrum.

[Brother Buzz]

28. My 95 year old mother picked that up instantly....

two years ago.

[BigmanPigman]

40. I said that at Thanksgiving two years ago and my family (all Dems)

jumped all over me and I am trained in this field. I am a former Elementary School teacher and had to test and refer kids in First Grade all the time. I had IEPs coming out of my ears. I saw how Barron acted and watched his body, behavior, etc. It has nothing to do with politics. What pissed me off at the time, and still does, is that if he has special needs than his own father shouldn't be publicly ridiculing and mocking reporters and anyone else who has special needs. That is really fucked up.

[kskiska]

61. I read that in the elusive Celebrity Apprentice tapes

Trump refers to his son as a "retard."

[BigmanPigman]

62. That is about what I would expect from him....

[Brother Buzz]

75. In that case, I believe he was referring to his nitwit son, Eric

who had just done something bombastic

[kskiska]

91. He's mentioned "a friend's baby" who was perfectly normal

until he was vaccinated. It's believed he was speaking of his own son.

[Brother Buzz]

96. Tom Arnold claimed he saw a tape of Trump calling his son Eric Trump "the R-word."

But he really never delivered on anything, so there's that. But now that you mention it, I do remember the orange anus going into that anti-vaxxer mode.

[MoonRiver]

47. To me, one of the signs is his inability to make eye contact and appearing socially detached.

I do think he's on the spectrum, but probably in the Aspergers range.

[violetpastille]

85. I have seen him

Smile and interact with babies in a very engaged manner.

I think he thinks adults are bullshit and I wouldn't blame him.

[kskiska]

32. A British paper printed that

and his mother sued. Time will tell.

[Brainstormy]

33. yes, I think so

and this is another good reason to give him his privacy. I remember the cruelty to Amy Carter, Chelsea Clinton, the Obama girls. I trust our side would never be so awful and we should set the example.

[murielm99]

106. My husband picked up on that right away.

It seems very possible.

I think we should leave the kid alone. Maybe his grandparents love and support him. I hope so.

[crazycatlady]

27. He's entitled to his privacy

He's what 12? He didn't choose this life. Let him have his privacy.

[Brainstormy]

30. I agree

there is nothing to gain from making a public spectacle of the child. There's also some suggestion that he's on the scale for Autism. He just doesn't need the limelight.

[pwb]

36. Maybe he is ashamed?

[bluestarone]

38. He deserve's privacy

I bet he's living in a Hell at the White house

[Skidmore]

41. Can you imagine naming

your child after the fake name you used to brag to reporters about your fake worth and fake sex life?

[Tipperary]

46. Leave him be. Keep the kids out of this.

Wow.

[Demovictory9]

51. no one is saying anything negative. dailymail posted pic yesterday. everyone was saying

he's tall and good looking. Discussing him no different than discussing the Obama girls.

[blueinredohio]

48. Trump says he's 6 ft. 2 but in the picture below Melania looks as tall as Trump.

I know she has heels on but I don't believe he's that tall. But Barron is close. He's also very handsome.

[Demovictory9]

49. he is so tall.

[MyNameGoesHere]

50. I would think he is to busy

With his magnifying glass and flies. Or perhaps his kittens and razors. Who knows for sure?

[missingthebigdog]

78. Wow. That's a bit over the top.

You don’t know this kid. His parents aren’t his fault.

[Historic NY]

52. He's not even allowed to have a dog....

the one gifted was returned.

[BigmanPigman]

53. Lucky dog!

Daddy tRump would likely kick it.

[Kahuna7]

57. Poor thing. His legs are so long, he looks like he's walking on stilts. nt

[Mike Nelson]

59. Saw him on TV recently...

… and he did look tall! The odds are against him, with those parents, sadly, but I wish him the best - and he does have wealth. Tiffany is my favorite Trump... the others are awful.

[krawhitham]

71. He looks taller than his dad

[TexasBushwhacker]

79. Melania is 5' 11"

So it makes sense he would be taller than dad.

[UTUSN]

72. Does he like dogs?

[Raine]

99. Yes he does

someone had a puppy they were giving him and he was thrilled that he was to get it. Apparently Trump put the nix on that and he never got the dog. This was around time the time Trump took office.

[DBoon]

103. Terrible

the kid deserves at least one friend

[JenniferJuniper]

77. Poor little (well, not so little) rich boy.

I wouldn't want to be in his situation for all the rubles in Russia.

He'll still be young when his father dies. Autistic, not autistic, brilliant, slow, whatever he is, no one will be able to shelter him from what he will hear about his father for the next 75 years or more.

I actually think - because Trump will be as dead as Jacob Marley, hopefully much sooner than later - the boy has a chance, even with that piece of shit for a mother. I wish him well.

[cynatnite]

87. I don't have a problem with that..

He's still a child and off limits, IMO. His whereabouts are not our concern, IMO.

[Poiuyt]

89. His father has been growing in leaps and bounds lately too

He used to be listed as 6'1. Then they put him at 6'2 so that he wouldn't be classified as obese. Now I just saw that Ronny Jackson has him listed as 6'3. Of course, if he's standing next to someone who really is 6'3, he's dwarfed.

With Alex Rodriguez 6'3



With President Obama 6'1

?crop=0px%2C0px%2C1790px%2C1006px&resize=1200%2C675&ssl=1

[LakeSuperiorView]

92. If he is 6'2", he is taller than his dad.

tRump is 5'10" or so. Numerous pictures of him standing next to 6'3" people show him coming up short of the mark.

[BigmanPigman]

93. His height fluctuates like his statements about his personal wealth.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

94. I SAW that. Wow!

He was walking behind his "dad', and he was taller than him. I honestly think the kid started eating right and felt safe enough to shoot up a couple feet.

[onenote]

108. If we saw him more, people here would accuse Trump of using him as a prop.

Keeping Barron out of the limelight is the one and only sane thing Trump has done.
