MAGAs Are Trying to Make Barron Into a Mythological Figure, But His Classmates Think He's Weird, 'He Doesn’t Really Belong Here'
Ever since Barron Trump came of age as an adult, the entire conversation around him has changed. Even the staunchest critics of Barron’s father left the boy alone before he was 18, out of respect. And although I always thought it likely that he’d turn out to be, well, a Trump, I thought that was […]
Maybe they’re onto something. What if, instead of voting for people based on their ideals and record, we just passed leadership down through bloodline? Has anyone tried that before?
Based on primogeniture, wouldn’t that mean Don Jr is taking over? Then Eric? Clearly, the girls would be skipped…
So does this mean Barron is going to kill his brothers to ascend the throne?
Well, Don jr. will die from congenital gonnorea, and Eric is fated to drown in a bathroom after clogging a toilet with unshredded documents.
Some cultures embraced the concept of ultimogeniture, under the premise that the youngest child would be raised with the full benefit of wiser parents and inherit younger, but generally not too young.
It's apparently pretty effective when the culture encourages the youngest child to stay home as a caretaker for their parents, but in terms of kingdom inheritance can cause problems.
I wouldn't expect the son of a sociopath to be terribly well-adjusted.
TWO sociopaths.
"He's a guy you can have drinks with".... Uh no? He's 18. You cannot have drinks with him unless your a piece of tra... Well that guy can, but that's more like peer pressuring someone you really out age
I was very confused by your comment until I googled the drinking age in the US, and found it's 21. I guess I assumed it was 18 like most countries
You are responsible enough for your own decisions at 18 that you can join the military and die for your country, but you can't buy a drink for another 3 years.
"The douche doesn't fall far from the bag."
The turd doesn’t fall far from the asshole
Don't belittle douches like that, at least they have a purpose on this planet.
Nah, they've been pretty obsolete for the last couple of decades. They're unhealthy for female reproductive organs, much like anyone with the last name "Trump". It's a fair comparison, IMO.

This is shit journalism. Yeah, his name is Trump so he's probably an asshole, but he's living his life, which has no impact on your life or mine. He's a private citizen, and his alleged assholery is not a public matter.
What? His 'living life' that's 'not a public matter' includes standing behind the president of the United States as he's sworn in. He deserves the utmost public scrutiny, especially considering three of trumps other children already take an active role in his presidency. They meet world leaders, but you just want to avoid looking at whatever sketchy shit this one might be up to. He had the option to avoid the public and decided to be another gremlin like his clown ass brothers.
Next time don't get on the stage if you don't want the limelight.
Prophecy has him as the final US President so he will always be part of the zeitgeist.
Weird, is something most people can be called, I'm more concerned with the other linked article in the story, citing a former behavioral specialist of barron's recounting stories of animal, physical, and sexual abuse...
Yikes.
Poor kid, he's only 18 still, that's gotta be a really tough way to grow up.
It didn't help my kids growing up to have Trump in the Whitehouse either.
He is pretty rich kid, with close to zero possible problems in the future, and potential to become new US god-king after trump. Not that bad of a life.
On the one hand, you're right.
But also, there's a chance that Barron opens his eyes and sees how sheltered he is from everything, and that his only friends are people slightly less rich, and much older, than he is.
I know it's not likely, so far all the trump progeny have been less useful than human shit, but I think there's still a chance that Barron gets depressed because he "has it all" and can't even play basketball with a potential new friend his own age.
ETA: damn, I guess Lemmy thinks a child should always pay for the sins of their father, huh?
One of the most horrific things I've seen is people on their death-beds, when they knew there was no more turning back and they had to say good-bye to everyone and everything they'd loved in this world.
On campus, nobody really knows what’s up with that guy, other than that he’s not like any of the other students. “He’s sort of like an oddity on campus,” says Kaya Walker, the president of the NYU Republicans. “He goes to class, he goes home.”
That seems like a pretty kind assessment for what must be a super weird experience for everyone else on campus. A constant Secret Service presence seems like it must disrupt the other students’ lives, as well as the professors at the school. In fact, Walker quoted one of her own professors as saying “he doesn’t really belong here.”
I might be projecting here, but sounds to me like he just wants to be left alone. Like, no matter where he stands politically, being the son of the president alone (let alone this one) must be pretty difficult for an adolescent.
I say let's leave him be and not judge him based on his family. If he if he joins the others, that's different. But don't treat him as an extension of his father, no matter how much of a dipshit that father may be.
I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but his last name is Trump, so the odds of him being a cesspool of a human being are astronomically high.
Shit apples don’t fall far from the shit tree, Randy.
From the article:
Of course he’s famous and sought-after — he’s a Trump. People would book Eric as a clown at their kid’s birthday party if he wasn’t so afraid of being his true self. Everyone wants to be close to a famous person, and people who want to curry favor with Donald Trump will say any manner of sweet nothings about his children.
ETA: although I chuckled at the above statement, this author is biased as shit. All his articles are nothing but Reddit-style fan service and exhaustively regurgitated comments. He even perpetuates the couch fucker lie in other articles. Everything reads like he's trying to make the best joke in order to get his karma numbers up.
Even though I lean left, I wouldn't trust anything this guy has to say and would do extra research before I took it seriously.
I love the fact that it's turning out that he's just like his brothers and fathers--empty.
Kid never had a chance...
Neither did Trump for that matter, but here we are.
The non-existent value of weirdly comparing his profile to a Greek statue aside, it's not even a good comparison. He has a way more prominent nasal ridge, a higher, more angled and sharp jawline, lower cheek bones, and a much flatter brow/forehead. What exactly is meant to look similar here except that they are both white guys?
I see it more from the "Mythological" aspect. Less face simular and more both are legends and should be immortalized as statues.
Edit: To be clear I am not supporting the comparison. I am just explaining my take on the attempted symbolism of the image.
jerk off motion
These have no lives.
Weirdo
Is a behavioral specialist not bound by HIPAA rules? Revealing this stuff would seem to be a problem if they are.
They didn't disclose any diagnosis or medication, just some psycho behavior they witnessed.
Is the author or anyone referenced involved in Barron's care?
Conservatives are unable to imagine things clearly and so have to look to the past to better understand what is being said. But they also don't have the imagination to distinguish between what's being imagined and what happened in the past. So the end result is conservatives don't want to do anything new because they don't and/or can't understand it.
MAGA look to the past to celebrate the psychotic asocial Trump crotch goblin because they don't know and can't guess what he will become. They can't say "he's going to be great because of this!"
Instead we get screenshots showing two human heads and how close they are to being the same. The person behind each is so radically different that there is literally no real comparison. But they want the accolades and history to remember them and the only thing they know is old shit that has happened.
He is a Trump so of course he a absolute freak
Doing the thing people are shaming the students are doing in comments. We can't just judge someone based on their family tree. For any son of a president they're not going to fit in nicely at a university due to being the son of a president. Hate the president all you want but don't diss people just because they happen to be related to them.
Fuck that, I'll keep that in mind when you are in a concentration camp with general baron leading you to the chamber. Trump and his whole family can kick cans and die
He's basically Tate Langdon without the charisma
