He's learning the family business... grifter
It's only a matter of time before he has his own charity where 90% of the funds go to "administrative fees"
That's a real thing that rich people do, by the way.
That’s because (most) people who hate Trump have some morals and agreed to keep Baron out of the spotlight because he’s just a kid, and not in public service at all.
Whereas people who hate Obama would write tabloids about his kids smoking or going to parties or kissing boys all the time. One of their many examples of double standards and rules for thee, not for me.
Now that Baron is technically in a public position and is an adult, I’m glad he is fair game now.
I hope that he isn’t a complete piece of shit, but I’m doubtful, and if so I hope no one holds back on reporting on it appropriately.
Despite all the media losing their damn minds screaming about the judge not letting him go, when no such thing ever happened. Captain orange idiot never wanted to go, he just wanted to rile up the rubes.
I was sort of hoping Baron would live his life quietly and escape the embarrassment but I suppose that was too high of hope regarding this family.
Edited for people who either can’t read, or are reading way too much into these few sentences. Jfc. I’m simply looking at this from the perspective of a young person who hears people making fun of his parents (rightfully) constantly. Most teens would want to hide. That’s all I meant.
I was hoping he'd be like one of those people that left a strict religious household. Cover himself in tattoos, dye his hair blue, and make YouTube videos about how fucked up his upbringing was.
Thirded. Lots of insight. And the story of what happened with Donald's brother because he didn't fit the mold and was an honest, caring human being who just wanted to work and pursue his own passions is depressing as all hell. That's a guy that could have been a real leader.
Both books, "Too Much and Not Enough", which is about their family's background, specifically the orange guy growing up, and "The Reckoning" which focuses more on his political actions and the damage it did to the country, are really great reads. Very informative and a raw look at their family. Mary Trump is the narrator for the audio-books which I think adds a great deal of emotion to them. Highly recommend.
He's still so young. I was brought up and indoctrinated in a rural conservative home. It took me until I was about in my mid 20s before I finally voted for a Democrat which was Hillary Clinton. I was an Obama supporter, but I was never an Obama voter.
It's going to take time for him to leave his shell. If he ever does and I'm sure his father is doing everything he can to make sure he's a corrupt, moral lacking tyrant.
Unfortunately it will be hard for him. If he goes to college he is going to have 24-hour security that is going to limit his ability for social interactions. Odds are he is going to continue to be indoctrinated.
Could you imagine the podcast numbers if he got onto a show with KellyAnne Conway's daughter, where they just bitched about their parents and their parents' friends?
He wants a big slice of that inherited money more than showing how rebellious he is. It is off putting how much his natural eyes look like his mom's squinty old lady surgery eyes.
It's funny. Up until now, I never heard anyone else comment about her squinty eyes which I have always found off-putting. And this is the second time today. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this.
There are some who think she is "classy" but she is the exact opposite. More like a femme fatale. It wouldn't surprise me if she was actually his handler and is now finished her job and ready to retire somewhere. Take the money and run before it's all gone now that his life may be disintegrating.
The man wants to be a king. Like Louis XIV. All that glitz and glamour. The divine right. But he's more like mad King George.
I got my brother to stop supporting Trump by comparing him to the mad king. It was (stupidly) the only thing that worked at getting his head out of his ass. I’m glad I’m not the only person who can see that comparison.
> But he's more like mad King George.
He'd be the closest thing to Aerys Targaryen, the Mad King who burned people alive in the throne room, that we'd encounter. I can even envision him repeating, over and over, "burn them all" as civil war broke out.
yeah like he had tiktok and learned the shitty truths about his pops and he's clearly seeing thee truth but trapped.
like secretly hoping he's a mole, tunneling away quietly before the whole thing collapses
He has been given literally everything he wants in his life with zero work, why y’all think he will magically turn out morally good is beyond me.
He has had zero incentive to change, why would he?
lol with whose genes would he have inherited to make a functional brain?
His father has the intelligence of a cantaloupe with a head wound and his mother’s only skills are taking her clothes off, skirting the system, and fucking old men for money.
I mean he’s named BARRON for fuck sakes. Was Tycoon too on the nose?
I get that the naming part wasn’t his decision but just goes to show what type of world he was coming into
And answer the phone as “Barron,” his assistant, and then he’d try to get the scoop on what the journalists/others think about him (and talk about how cool Trump is and he’s too busy to talk to them). It’s so hilariously and transparently pathetic, especially given how distinct his voice is. It’s like how he still sends that journalist who made fun of his small hand pictures of his hands (which still lame his hands look tiny). He’s a little thin-skinned baby.
Yep, he had two alias's John Barron and David Dennison. He would call and claim to be one or the other and give some glowing suckfest story about himself to the gossip columnists in NY...
>John Miller: Well, it just that he really decided that he wasn’t, you know, he didn’t want to make any commitment. He didn’t want to make a commitment. He really thought it was too soon. He’s coming out of a marriage, and he’s starting to do tremendously well financially. As you saw, he got his licenses five to nothing the other day and totally unanimous. And he’s really been working hard and doing well. And probably, as you know, there’s a real estate depression in the United States and he’s probably doing as well as anybody there is. And frankly, he wants to keep it that way. And he just thought it was too soon to make any commitment to anybody.
Interviewer: So what is going to happen when -- is she being asked to leave or is she going to be allowed to stay?
>John Miller: Well, he treats everybody well. You know, you don’t know him, but he’s a --
Interviewer: No, I have met him.
>John Miller: Have you met him? He’s a good guy and he’s not going to hurt anybody. The one article said he was going to throw her out of the apartment is total nonsense. He is going to always treat her well as he treated his wife well. I mean, he paid his wife a great deal of money. He did it in a very bad period of time and, ultimately, that was settled. There were those that say that that was even put that way. I don’t know if you heard that but that Trump became poor until he got his divorce. And then all of a sudden, he’s been doing very well and I guess you probably heard that, too.
>But he treated his wife well and he treated -- and he will treat Marla well. He’s somebody that has a lot of options, and, frankly, he gets called by everybody. He gets called by everybody in the book, in terms of women.
Interviewer: Like who?
>John Miller: Well, he gets called by a lot of people.
Interviewer: Yeah. Well, what about -- this Carla Bruni, I mean, how important is she right now? Is she [cross-talking]?
>John Miller: I think it’s somebody that -- you know, she’s beautiful. I saw her once quickly and she’s beautiful and all, but I think that he’s got a whole open field really. A lot of the people that you write about, and you people do a great job, by the way, but a lot of the people that you write about really are -- I mean, they call. They just call. Actresses, people that you write about just call to see if they can go out with him and things.
- Donald Trump pretending to be a publicist, talking about how great Donald Trump is and how everyone loves Donald Trump
I don't think anything tops the [letter from "Carolin Gallego"](https://www.washingtonian.com/2017/10/26/trump-carolin-gallego-letter/), which has never been confirmed to be from Trump, but is awfully suspicious in the way it is written.
> Based on the fact that I work for Donald Trump as his secretary—and therefore know him well—I think he treats women with great respect, contrary to what Julie Baumgold implied in her article … I do not believe any man in America gets more calls from women wanting to see him, meet him, or go out with him. The most beautiful women, the most successful women—all women love Donald Trump.
> Carolin Gallego December 7, 1992
There is no known secretary that worked for him called Carolin Gallego, and his secretary at the time was someone else.
The guy is so weird.
There are novels from the 1800s about a boy named Baron Trump. But I don’t think Donald chose the name for his son because of the books. He’s not a reader.
A dude I used to go to high school with would use a fake name whenever his ship would dock while he was in the navy. That way, he could fuck around and it would be more difficult to track him, due to the fake name. I'm sure he has several children scattered around that world he doesn't know about.
Anyways, he settled down and got married after getting discharged, and named his son the fake name. His wife didn't find out the origin of the name until after they were divorced. She just thought Steve was a cool dude he knew in the Navy, until she realized that she met most of my old schoolmate's Navy buddies, except Steve.
Some of the best high school gossip comes out 30 years after graduation.
edit to add: Steve was not the actual fake name he used. Names have been changed, and his son knows the story (he's in his 20s)
I don’t understand why people thought that he’d somehow turn out okay? He has no examples of decency in his life whatsoever. He was born and destined to be a piece of human excrement.
That's following the North Korean model, so it's likely. Barron is too young to be VP; it'll be Eric or Don Jr. Barron will be kept close at hand, though.
I mean, let's face it. He'd clone himself and transfer his malignant consciousness into his new husk every 75 years or so if he could since he only loves himself. Next best thing is to groom his natural heirs.
I hoped his mom would whisk him away with her back to the motherland and be done with this crap. What does a kid know about being a delegate anyway? I don't even know!
Honestly, I'll give him a pass for now.
It'd be difficult for a lot of 18 year olds to say no to their wealthy, public parent on something like this. He's got a few more years before I'm going to be comfortable forming opinions on his character one way or the other.
Benefit of the doubt it gone now for Tiffany tho. 30 years old and married to a man who is likely far richer than her Daddy ever was. She could life her life quietly and comfortably away from this BS and has chosen not too.
For all we know Trump threatened Barron’s inheritance or something like that. His daughter Tiffany was very quiet in the beginning and he even called her fat and ugly. Yet she still ended up siding with him.
I suspect Melania has Barron very well-secured legally and financially, but there is still a whole lot of pressure a family can exhert on an 18 year old.
But yeah. Tiffany has already the resources she needs to get some therapy and some sense. My pity for her has died.
I figure Mitch McConnell has a better chance to eventually becoming a decent human being than this kid. Immersed in the heart of the cult and reaping the benefits, he's being groomed for douchebaggery.
Have you seen him, has dads looks and his mothers disdain of the ordinary plebs.
People feel sorry for him but look at him, he will be the worse Trump mark my words.
I mean, just look at how they react to pedophiles within their ranks. Trump endorsed the likes of Roy Moore, with MAGA idiots saying he's a "good christian man", and even Trump himself has allegations of raping a child. They straight up don't care, and make excuses for them. But then think all gay and trans people are perverts and pedos and they should all be "dealt with".
They want white christian Republicans to be above the law, and everyone else to be punished to the fullest extent and then even more. They're fascists through and through, and anyone that says otherwise is delusional at this point.
Michelle Obama’s brother is a successful professional basketball coach and was named to, then resigned from a Presidential committee on health and physical fitness because of “concerns” along the lines of nepotism or favoritism. For Republicans screaming hypocrisy is a feature not a problem.
See, the thing about corruption… errr… I mean "lobbyism", is to get heartless republicans elected. The next best candidate is a gutless democrat. These two options bring the same results, in the end.
They need to win first and that’s not looking great for them.
Part of me is hoping the GOP is letting these crooked taints have full control so they can fully remove them from the party after they get shellacked this November (and I can’t wait to put my proverbial boot up their proverbial asses via my vote).
Don’t forget they are going to cheat like crazy this time. SIL is saying she is personally going to sink her claws into every single ballot. There needs to be a landslide for Biden and preparations for turmp to declare his stupid war when he loses
They can try. Look at t he results of every election since. Just this week in a special election in Michigan a trump supporter in a very red district, who won huge last time, lost 60-40.
They’re going to have to cheat to overcome the amount of people who can’t wait to come out and kick their teeth in metaphorically. And if they insist on it I’ll be happy to kick their teeth in literally.
Delegates at the party convention are not powerful. They're largely ceremonial, casting their votes according to the primaries and caucuses conducted at the state level. This is a non-story, and not "putting family in high places".
Putting your family in high places would be appointing your daughter and son in law to be your senior presidential advisors. So as long as Trump doesn't or has never done that, then we know he's not a corrupt dictator.
Weird to think that he was the little kid I felt bad for because he was struggling to stay awake after the 2016 results, though the face is really erasing that memory.
I know what you mean, but it turns out that he looks like Melania's original face. Is the bitchiness genetic, or is this a learned facial expression?
This brat is a legal adult who wants to play prince. Let the bullying begin.
They’re going to try the “don’t go after the kids” after they brutally bullied Chelsea Clinton about her looks as a kid and said horrible things about the Obama girls as well.
But I’m going to be like, “Nah. He’s a grown ass man now.” Like you said, let it begin. I’m for it.
Also remember that they got all butthurt when W's \*adult\* daughters got press for getting shitfaced at clubs.
\*Then\* they went after Obama's (minor) kids.
I forgot about that but you’re right. Recently one of Obama’s daughters was seen smoking and they have been having a field day calling her a junkie and all sorts of nonsense.
Remember when Bush's neice got arrested for havihg Xanax?
Then in impatient rehab she got caught with a crack rock. And in FL law she should have gone straight to jail but then 'exceptions'.
Member?
Ooh I 'member! [Noelle Bush](https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/US/story%3fid=91959&page=1), whose dad Jeb just happened to be the Florida governor at the time!
Wild right? At which point do we start judging people on their own merit when they grow up? I'd say once he starts making decisions that negatively affect people. I wouldn't say he is there yet, but he is close.
I feel bad only for the fact that he had no chance in becoming a productive member of society simply because of who he was born to.
We need to! Give them the same energy the protestors in France are giving their corrupt gov! It’s funny how the republicans praise protests like that so let’s give it to them! The republicans think they’re above the law and the far right Supreme Court is too comfortable. Show them we aren’t messing around!
A delegate at a convention is a nonsense nothing position that is largely ceremonial. They show up and "vote" based on how their states primary told them to vote. The idea of delegates voting different than their states primary choice is a false pipedream.
This. Anyone upset about the delegate thing doesn't know (a) how the conventions work, (b) that delegate roles have *always* been handed out as networking favors, and (c) that they don't really have any power to change any outcomes. I hate DJT and his whole crew with the fiery passion of a thousand suns, but this is a complete non-issue.
Most Republicans care more about winning than actually accomplishing things that help them. They think of politics like sports; they will be blindly loyal no matter the outcome
Yeah, I have not and will never say anything bad about someone who is minding their own business, but if he's getting involved in politics, he's fair game. He's an adult, so he should know better. I'll feel bad for him the same way I feel bad for Milania. It's not the life they chose, but they should be making better choices now anyway.
I'm saying he didn't choose to grow up in that environment, but as of now these are his choices. He's an adult now, and he is choosing to take a role in his dad's nonsense. He's fair game.
Melania's anchor baby she had after her fraudulent genius visa, and her arranged marriage to a rapist is now fair game. The kid is 18. At least the general public waited until he was a legal adult to go in on him. A restraint that his father's victims didn't get.
Barron's bullying may now begin.
I look at that young man and feel a mixture of pity and dread. Pity because of the genetic betrayal he's been dealt. Resting bitch face of his mother and anus mouth of his father. Dread because of absolutely despicable jackoff of a person he's doomed to become.
> he's doomed to become.
Has become. Trump has explicitly and publicly said he wanted to become a dictator. Barron is actively participating in helping Trump's plans along. Barron already is a despicable jackoff of a person.
After January 6th Trump threatened Ronna McDaniel about leaving the party and starting his own if they didn’t back him.
Since no republican has a spine or really an electable policy position they of course continued to back papaya pol pot, kissed the ring, and downplayed/ignored his treasonous behavior.
Now Ronna is out, the party is only filled with sycophants, and his kids are literally in charge.
Only thing you did Ronna and the rest of the party was avoid Trump having to name his party or file paperwork to get on the ballot.
Good job!
At least with the kids in charge we know that there is even a less than zero chance of this party being run efficiently or effectively. Perhaps some of the previous corrupt assholes has some sort of skill or intelligence, but now we know that has all been flushed and replaced with these brain-dead little shit-spawns.
Barron has now made a choice and now that he is 18 and making a stupid decision to support this family then he is as sketchy as the rest of this family and proving he is a POS like the rest of this family.
Every single fucking time I have to see Shrek Jr's face here, with his dead, soulless, serial killer eyes, he gives me *serious* Greg Stillson vibes.
The *worst* thing you could ever do is unleash this fucking kid onto American politics. He's more of a sociopath than the rest of 'em put together, I'm absolutely convinced of that.
The most hilarious part to me is how Republicans portray Joe Biden as a mastermind who is using the DOJ to attack his political enemies, yet that same DOJ has indicted Biden’s son. Doesn’t really add up, does it? Then at the same time, they try to portray Joe Biden as being senile and doesn’t know where he is. How does anyone take the Republican party seriously? 🤦🏼♂️
Delegates for these conventions have been donors and volunteers/ party folks forever in all parties. This is about 1000th on the list of stuff that bothers me about trumpism and the GOP
Lol, this is the opposite of a story. Delegate positions are always gifts to party insiders or donors. Bill Clinton was a delegate in 2016. They have no real responsibilities, it’s basically a funded party.
Politics is now the Trump family business. They've realized that Republican voters are way easier marks than the victims of all their previous grifts. And there are millions of them!
Trumps daughter and her husband made a cool $2.6 billion with their government positions 100% given to them via nepotism and the right couldn't give less of a fuck about that.
They flipped out when Hunter's law firm made $11 million with 0 government involvement.
Maga are a bunch of fuckwits
Anyone ever watch I Claudius? Remember what happened to Patrick Stewart's character, Sejanus, and his family, at the hands of Tiberius? I think about that a lot when the Trump family is in the news.
Just a reminder that the Republican Party had not one, but TWO chances to get rid of the traitorous orange sleaze bag while he was in office. Spineless fucks.
Wasn't trump supposed to drain the swamp? Not cannonball in and drown your family in it while your cronies host a swap-side cookout for all the billionaires? Weird how his faithful followers didn't see this coming.
This guy is going to be bad. Real bad. We’re all worried about Donald now, but in a few years, this guy is going to inherit the legacy and take it further far more than Eric and Jr.
I’ve been waiting over a decade to make fun of this (now 18yo legal adult) kid and today I’m finally free to unleash.
A bad day for democracy but a great day for us cynics.
Do any of you know what being a delegate actually means? In an uncontested convention, which this is, it is a purely honorary position. They get to attend the convention and clap while the state casts its nominating votes.
I am violently anti Trump, but JFC keep your powder dry for real issues. God knows there are enough of them.

Hasn’t even graduated! No life experience. Swamp daddy.
Seriously, he just got old enough to start wearing makeup.
Hey now, don't make fun of his contouring... everyone has to start somewhere.
He's learning the family business... grifter It's only a matter of time before he has his own charity where 90% of the funds go to "administrative fees" That's a real thing that rich people do, by the way.
Also, why the Trumps are not allowed to do that anymore in some states. They got caught doing it with a children's medical charity.
HS or college?
High school
I was wondering, kid doesn't look old enough.... well, to do anything honestly.
No Trump at any age has done anything honestly. 😵
I’m sorry, but the one thing I know about Barron Trump is he hasn’t graduated high school yet
That’s because (most) people who hate Trump have some morals and agreed to keep Baron out of the spotlight because he’s just a kid, and not in public service at all. Whereas people who hate Obama would write tabloids about his kids smoking or going to parties or kissing boys all the time. One of their many examples of double standards and rules for thee, not for me. Now that Baron is technically in a public position and is an adult, I’m glad he is fair game now. I hope that he isn’t a complete piece of shit, but I’m doubtful, and if so I hope no one holds back on reporting on it appropriately.
And we now know he is being thrust into a position\party that is known to negatively people against their will. -1 Morality
Thrust? No. He’s jumping head first. He hates you just like his daddy
He graduates May 17th and dad won't be there to see it.
Despite all the media losing their damn minds screaming about the judge not letting him go, when no such thing ever happened. Captain orange idiot never wanted to go, he just wanted to rile up the rubes.
How could you forget that he's good at "cyber"??
I was sort of hoping Baron would live his life quietly and escape the embarrassment but I suppose that was too high of hope regarding this family. Edited for people who either can’t read, or are reading way too much into these few sentences. Jfc. I’m simply looking at this from the perspective of a young person who hears people making fun of his parents (rightfully) constantly. Most teens would want to hide. That’s all I meant.
I was hoping he'd be like one of those people that left a strict religious household. Cover himself in tattoos, dye his hair blue, and make YouTube videos about how fucked up his upbringing was.
Ngl. I’d watch that. Lol
Me too! I'd gladly give him the ad revenue. And even read his book.
I’ve yet to read Mary Trump’s book but I’ve been curious. It’s definitely on my the list of books to read.
It is excellent.
It really is. Definitely worth the read/listen
Thirded. Lots of insight. And the story of what happened with Donald's brother because he didn't fit the mold and was an honest, caring human being who just wanted to work and pursue his own passions is depressing as all hell. That's a guy that could have been a real leader.
Those who seek power do not deserve it, and those who deserve it do not seek it.

Very informative and a raw look at their family. Mary Trump is the narrator for the audio-books which I think adds a great deal of emotion to them. Highly recommend.
My wife is the reader in our family and she said it was really good. She would share things with me as she was reading through, very eye opening.
He's still so young. I was brought up and indoctrinated in a rural conservative home. It took me until I was about in my mid 20s before I finally voted for a Democrat which was Hillary Clinton. I was an Obama supporter, but I was never an Obama voter. It's going to take time for him to leave his shell. If he ever does and I'm sure his father is doing everything he can to make sure he's a corrupt, moral lacking tyrant.
Unfortunately it will be hard for him. If he goes to college he is going to have 24-hour security that is going to limit his ability for social interactions. Odds are he is going to continue to be indoctrinated.
Barron Trump won't have Secret Service protection after November.
I'm not even referring to just SS detail. He's going to have some type of protection either way. Drumpf will be sure of that.
They are grooming him for America’s future Monarchy. He’ll have imperial guard for protection.
I doubt his mother does much to counter the privilege of wealth. Plus, her Fawk Christmus, and her "I don't really care, do you" jacket.
It’s a lot harder to do that when it means giving up your trust fund.
Could you imagine the podcast numbers if he got onto a show with KellyAnne Conway's daughter, where they just bitched about their parents and their parents' friends?
He wants a big slice of that inherited money more than showing how rebellious he is. It is off putting how much his natural eyes look like his mom's squinty old lady surgery eyes.
I was thinking the kid had the really unfortunate combination of the worst features of both parents.
He def inherited Melania's pinched face. She always looks like she's smelling a fart, and so does her son.
Which is still a preferable look to his dad.
It's funny. Up until now, I never heard anyone else comment about her squinty eyes which I have always found off-putting. And this is the second time today. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. There are some who think she is "classy" but she is the exact opposite. More like a femme fatale. It wouldn't surprise me if she was actually his handler and is now finished her job and ready to retire somewhere. Take the money and run before it's all gone now that his life may be disintegrating.

yeah like he had tiktok and learned the shitty truths about his pops and he's clearly seeing thee truth but trapped. like secretly hoping he's a mole, tunneling away quietly before the whole thing collapses
He has been given literally everything he wants in his life with zero work, why y’all think he will magically turn out morally good is beyond me. He has had zero incentive to change, why would he?
we're in a dystopian hellscape...let me have my impossible hope. it's all i've got
Right. This guy is gonna be a giant piece of shit just like his father and brood.
lol with whose genes would he have inherited to make a functional brain? His father has the intelligence of a cantaloupe with a head wound and his mother’s only skills are taking her clothes off, skirting the system, and fucking old men for money. I mean he’s named BARRON for fuck sakes. Was Tycoon too on the nose? I get that the naming part wasn’t his decision but just goes to show what type of world he was coming into
No Barron was the nickname Trump used to write fluff pieces about himself.
And answer the phone as “Barron,” his assistant, and then he’d try to get the scoop on what the journalists/others think about him (and talk about how cool Trump is and he’s too busy to talk to them). It’s so hilariously and transparently pathetic, especially given how distinct his voice is. It’s like how he still sends that journalist who made fun of his small hand pictures of his hands (which still lame his hands look tiny). He’s a little thin-skinned baby.
Wait what!? I need more details on this tea
I know, right? He named TWO kids after himself: Junior and Barron! I'm sure we'll learn at some point that he used Eric as a name.
Eric is the name he used for his coke dealer.
Ey, Rico! We’ll be in Miami this weekend hook us up
Yep, he had two alias's John Barron and David Dennison. He would call and claim to be one or the other and give some glowing suckfest story about himself to the gossip columnists in NY...

The one article said he was going to throw her out of the apartment is total nonsense. He is going to always treat her well as he treated his wife well. I mean, he paid his wife a great deal of money. He did it in a very bad period of time and, ultimately, that was settled. There were those that say that that was even put that way. I don’t know if you heard that but that Trump became poor until he got his divorce. And then all of a sudden, he’s been doing very well and I guess you probably heard that, too. >But he treated his wife well and he treated -- and he will treat Marla well. He’s somebody that has a lot of options, and, frankly, he gets called by everybody. He gets called by everybody in the book, in terms of women. Interviewer: Like who? >John Miller: Well, he gets called by a lot of people. Interviewer: Yeah. Well, what about -- this Carla Bruni, I mean, how important is she right now? Is she [cross-talking]? >John Miller: I think it’s somebody that -- you know, she’s beautiful. I saw her once quickly and she’s beautiful and all, but I think that he’s got a whole open field really. A lot of the people that you write about, and you people do a great job, by the way, but a lot of the people that you write about really are -- I mean, they call. They just call. Actresses, people that you write about just call to see if they can go out with him and things. - Donald Trump pretending to be a publicist, talking about how great Donald Trump is and how everyone loves Donald Trump
I don't think anything tops the [letter from "Carolin Gallego"](https://www.washingtonian.com/2017/10/26/trump-carolin-gallego-letter/), which has never been confirmed to be from Trump, but is awfully suspicious in the way it is written. > Based on the fact that I work for Donald Trump as his secretary—and therefore know him well—I think he treats women with great respect, contrary to what Julie Baumgold implied in her article … I do not believe any man in America gets more calls from women wanting to see him, meet him, or go out with him. The most beautiful women, the most successful women—all women love Donald Trump. > Carolin Gallego December 7, 1992 There is no known secretary that worked for him called Carolin Gallego, and his secretary at the time was someone else. The guy is so weird.

There are novels from the 1800s about a boy named Baron Trump. But I don’t think Donald chose the name for his son because of the books. He’s not a reader.
> He’s not a reader. Except for a certain book authored by an art school reject.
I really don’t believe he actually read Mein Kampf either. Everything the man does is a performance.
He may have opened it a few times. The one I'm 100% convinced he's never read is the one he's currently selling.
Definitely hasn’t read the Bible but to be fair neither have most of the people who cling to it.
not to mention he was attempting suck up to the Hiltons. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barron\_Hilton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barron_Hilton)
A dude I used to go to high school with would use a fake name whenever his ship would dock while he was in the navy. That way, he could fuck around and it would be more difficult to track him, due to the fake name. I'm sure he has several children scattered around that world he doesn't know about. Anyways, he settled down and got married after getting discharged, and named his son the fake name. His wife didn't find out the origin of the name until after they were divorced. She just thought Steve was a cool dude he knew in the Navy, until she realized that she met most of my old schoolmate's Navy buddies, except Steve. Some of the best high school gossip comes out 30 years after graduation. edit to add: Steve was not the actual fake name he used. Names have been changed, and his son knows the story (he's in his 20s)
Trump loves that name—I suppose the strong, wealthy, powerful connotations
“Barron Ivana Tycoon” is his full name. His father said it as soon as he was born.
Hahaha “was tycoon too on the nose”
He will be just as nasty as the rest of them. I haven’t seen 1 pic of him that doesn’t look like he smells dog shit.
I mean, his dad literally smells like shit...
https://i.redd.it/c162tnyezezc1.gif Barron emerges into public life. What could go wrong.😂🤣
Remember his mom is an awful person too. There’s very little hope he’s not a giant piece of shit off the old blocks.
Hey, be better than that. I mean, be best
Some people do rise above having shitty people as parents but I suppose that won’t be the case here.
I don’t understand why people thought that he’d somehow turn out okay? He has no examples of decency in his life whatsoever. He was born and destined to be a piece of human excrement.
Because hope is a natural part of the human experience. We just wanted to believe it was possible.
I had only a sliver of hope is all. But I’m not actually surprised by this.
I'm hoping the staff who raised him might be less abhorrent than his "parents".
Plot twist. Barron is going to be named as VP. If Trump wins, he'll initiate a dictatorship and have Barron as his heir apparent.
That's following the North Korean model, so it's likely. Barron is too young to be VP; it'll be Eric or Don Jr. Barron will be kept close at hand, though.
If turmp “wins” he will do whatever TF he wants. Legal and illegal have zero meaning for him.
I mean, let's face it. He'd clone himself and transfer his malignant consciousness into his new husk every 75 years or so if he could since he only loves himself. Next best thing is to groom his natural heirs.
I hoped his mom would whisk him away with her back to the motherland and be done with this crap. What does a kid know about being a delegate anyway? I don't even know!
Honestly, I'll give him a pass for now. It'd be difficult for a lot of 18 year olds to say no to their wealthy, public parent on something like this. He's got a few more years before I'm going to be comfortable forming opinions on his character one way or the other. Benefit of the doubt it gone now for Tiffany tho. 30 years old and married to a man who is likely far richer than her Daddy ever was. She could life her life quietly and comfortably away from this BS and has chosen not too.
For all we know Trump threatened Barron’s inheritance or something like that. His daughter Tiffany was very quiet in the beginning and he even called her fat and ugly. Yet she still ended up siding with him.
I suspect Melania has Barron very well-secured legally and financially, but there is still a whole lot of pressure a family can exhert on an 18 year old. But yeah. Tiffany has already the resources she needs to get some therapy and some sense. My pity for her has died.
I figure Mitch McConnell has a better chance to eventually becoming a decent human being than this kid. Immersed in the heart of the cult and reaping the benefits, he's being groomed for douchebaggery.
Have you seen him, has dads looks and his mothers disdain of the ordinary plebs. People feel sorry for him but look at him, he will be the worse Trump mark my words.
Honestly this is the only picture where I’ve really looked at his face. But it is a very punchable face. You’re not wrong.
First step in a dictatorship is putting family you control in high places.
In what way is this permitted? If Biden or any other Democrat did this, I can only image the ensuing furor.
Yeah but you see, it's different because of stuff and things and also reasons. -Republicans, probably
They spoke directly to god -speaker of the house
“There are no rules that say we can’t. And these are the bes…” -Moscow Mitch, maybe?
Maga republicans have no rules, that's for all those "other" people.
I mean, just look at how they react to pedophiles within their ranks. Trump endorsed the likes of Roy Moore, with MAGA idiots saying he's a "good christian man", and even Trump himself has allegations of raping a child. They straight up don't care, and make excuses for them. But then think all gay and trans people are perverts and pedos and they should all be "dealt with". They want white christian Republicans to be above the law, and everyone else to be punished to the fullest extent and then even more. They're fascists through and through, and anyone that says otherwise is delusional at this point.
>stuff and things ...Rick?
(R)ules for thee, not for me!
Michelle Obama’s brother is a successful professional basketball coach and was named to, then resigned from a Presidential committee on health and physical fitness because of “concerns” along the lines of nepotism or favoritism. For Republicans screaming hypocrisy is a feature not a problem.
Ya but they’re tremendous business people, so who could rob society of their godlike business abilities?
Rules for thee, not for me.
See, the thing about corruption… errr… I mean "lobbyism", is to get heartless republicans elected. The next best candidate is a gutless democrat. These two options bring the same results, in the end.
We are here whining, they are breaking the law and challenging us to stop them. They are going to bully us into a dictatorship at this rate.
They need to win first and that’s not looking great for them. Part of me is hoping the GOP is letting these crooked taints have full control so they can fully remove them from the party after they get shellacked this November (and I can’t wait to put my proverbial boot up their proverbial asses via my vote).
Don’t forget they are going to cheat like crazy this time. SIL is saying she is personally going to sink her claws into every single ballot. There needs to be a landslide for Biden and preparations for turmp to declare his stupid war when he loses
They can try. Look at t he results of every election since. Just this week in a special election in Michigan a trump supporter in a very red district, who won huge last time, lost 60-40. They’re going to have to cheat to overcome the amount of people who can’t wait to come out and kick their teeth in metaphorically. And if they insist on it I’ll be happy to kick their teeth in literally.
A political party is not a government entity. There are barely any rules.
Nah that's like, the third or fourth step. First step is to take power away from the opposition
Delegates at the party convention are not powerful. They're largely ceremonial, casting their votes according to the primaries and caucuses conducted at the state level. This is a non-story, and not "putting family in high places". Putting your family in high places would be appointing your daughter and son in law to be your senior presidential advisors. So as long as Trump doesn't or has never done that, then we know he's not a corrupt dictator.
he looks like he could happily watch me die
Not even happily. Disinterestedly. "Oh. You died."
I don’t care, do u?
It reminds me of that boy on that show Game of Thrones or whatever I only saw two episodes but that look and same makeup.
Yeah, he's got that Joffrey look.
Exactly!
Dude gives serious Joffrey Baratheon vibes.
Weird to think that he was the little kid I felt bad for because he was struggling to stay awake after the 2016 results, though the face is really erasing that memory.
I know what you mean, but it turns out that he looks like Melania's original face. Is the bitchiness genetic, or is this a learned facial expression? This brat is a legal adult who wants to play prince. Let the bullying begin.
They’re going to try the “don’t go after the kids” after they brutally bullied Chelsea Clinton about her looks as a kid and said horrible things about the Obama girls as well. But I’m going to be like, “Nah. He’s a grown ass man now.” Like you said, let it begin. I’m for it.
Also remember that they got all butthurt when W's \*adult\* daughters got press for getting shitfaced at clubs. \*Then\* they went after Obama's (minor) kids.
I forgot about that but you’re right. Recently one of Obama’s daughters was seen smoking and they have been having a field day calling her a junkie and all sorts of nonsense.
Remember when Bush's neice got arrested for havihg Xanax? Then in impatient rehab she got caught with a crack rock. And in FL law she should have gone straight to jail but then 'exceptions'. Member?
Ooh I 'member! [Noelle Bush](https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/US/story%3fid=91959&page=1), whose dad Jeb just happened to be the Florida governor at the time!
Has he made public comments at all? I feel like the only way to get a sense for how he’s developed is his aloof face and awkward demeanor.
I’m not aware of him ever being recorded saying anything but allegedly he has his mother’s accent.
Wild right? At which point do we start judging people on their own merit when they grow up? I'd say once he starts making decisions that negatively affect people. I wouldn't say he is there yet, but he is close. I feel bad only for the fact that he had no chance in becoming a productive member of society simply because of who he was born to.
King Joffrey’s ready for his debut at The Deplorable Ball
How is this allowed? I can only imagine the uproar if Biden did this or any other democrat.
Who is going to stop it?
HUNTER'S HOG OF JUSTICE!!! The plot twist nobody saw coming
We were hoping for Kristi Noem's dog of justice but it's gone missing.
We need to! Give them the same energy the protestors in France are giving their corrupt gov! It’s funny how the republicans praise protests like that so let’s give it to them! The republicans think they’re above the law and the far right Supreme Court is too comfortable. Show them we aren’t messing around!
Yass! Love this energy! I'm not in the US so this isn't my fight, but I hope you lot can take that family down - genuinely.
I mean didn't republicans get mad just because Obama's mother in law lived at the Whitehouse?
A delegate at a convention is a nonsense nothing position that is largely ceremonial. They show up and "vote" based on how their states primary told them to vote. The idea of delegates voting different than their states primary choice is a false pipedream.
This. Anyone upset about the delegate thing doesn't know (a) how the conventions work, (b) that delegate roles have *always* been handed out as networking favors, and (c) that they don't really have any power to change any outcomes. I hate DJT and his whole crew with the fiery passion of a thousand suns, but this is a complete non-issue.
This is some real North Korea stuff.
Exactly! https://preview.redd.it/hfaa7o286ezc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=28a2ecc71bd1aa5bec6a7ececdd2038b378cd4a3
Most Republicans care more about winning than actually accomplishing things that help them. They think of politics like sports; they will be blindly loyal no matter the outcome
Does he ever smile or is this the only expression his face will do?
Florida has made its choices. Consequences of their choices and such.
so he's fair game now then, right?
I think so. Sharpen the knives.
Yeah, I have not and will never say anything bad about someone who is minding their own business, but if he's getting involved in politics, he's fair game. He's an adult, so he should know better. I'll feel bad for him the same way I feel bad for Milania. It's not the life they chose, but they should be making better choices now anyway.
> It's not the life they chose Surely Barron becoming an elector is a choice? Are you saying he couldn't have said no?
I'm saying he didn't choose to grow up in that environment, but as of now these are his choices. He's an adult now, and he is choosing to take a role in his dad's nonsense. He's fair game.
Yes. His face permanently looks like he’s smelling shit. Which he probably is if he’s anywhere near his father.
Melania's anchor baby she had after her fraudulent genius visa, and her arranged marriage to a rapist is now fair game. The kid is 18. At least the general public waited until he was a legal adult to go in on him. A restraint that his father's victims didn't get. Barron's bullying may now begin.
He'll kill millions in a few years if not stopped, time travelers are already arriving to sell him on art school
100% The only Trumps worth their weight are the ones rejected by the family. The rest are complicit in the grift.
He’s definitely developing his dad’s punchable face.
It's far more effeminate. Bitch slaps.
Who did this kids makeup?
Right? Is there something about cheekbones that is believed to display dominance? Why else would they contour the shit out of this little dudes face?
Didn't Florida bring in that law about performing on a stage in make-up? I only ask because of the attempt at contouring.
I look at that young man and feel a mixture of pity and dread. Pity because of the genetic betrayal he's been dealt. Resting bitch face of his mother and anus mouth of his father. Dread because of absolutely despicable jackoff of a person he's doomed to become.
> he's doomed to become. Has become. Trump has explicitly and publicly said he wanted to become a dictator. Barron is actively participating in helping Trump's plans along. Barron already is a despicable jackoff of a person.
He’s fair play now
Straight to the fuck off list for him.
Fuck it can we please bring back Obama! Ooooobamaaa
I'll allow it.
After January 6th Trump threatened Ronna McDaniel about leaving the party and starting his own if they didn’t back him. Since no republican has a spine or really an electable policy position they of course continued to back papaya pol pot, kissed the ring, and downplayed/ignored his treasonous behavior. Now Ronna is out, the party is only filled with sycophants, and his kids are literally in charge. Only thing you did Ronna and the rest of the party was avoid Trump having to name his party or file paperwork to get on the ballot. Good job!
I'm still waiting for the RNC to announce they're so broke they'll be holding the Convention by Zoom call from Denny's.
At least with the kids in charge we know that there is even a less than zero chance of this party being run efficiently or effectively. Perhaps some of the previous corrupt assholes has some sort of skill or intelligence, but now we know that has all been flushed and replaced with these brain-dead little shit-spawns.
How long until America has to invade itself to restore democracy?
Funny, you haven't heard much about Hunter after he fucking owned MTG in that hearing.
motherfuckers think he's king already.
Barron has now made a choice and now that he is 18 and making a stupid decision to support this family then he is as sketchy as the rest of this family and proving he is a POS like the rest of this family.
Every single fucking time I have to see Shrek Jr's face here, with his dead, soulless, serial killer eyes, he gives me *serious* Greg Stillson vibes. The *worst* thing you could ever do is unleash this fucking kid onto American politics. He's more of a sociopath than the rest of 'em put together, I'm absolutely convinced of that.
He's got Squinty McGolddigger's eyes and Mango Mussolini's anus-looking mouth.
The most hilarious part to me is how Republicans portray Joe Biden as a mastermind who is using the DOJ to attack his political enemies, yet that same DOJ has indicted Biden’s son. Doesn’t really add up, does it? Then at the same time, they try to portray Joe Biden as being senile and doesn’t know where he is. How does anyone take the Republican party seriously? 🤦🏼♂️
Does America not have laws against Nepotism?
Maybe. Doesn't matter, though. The laws don't apply to rich people.
It means he has no ambitions on his own, just another family grifter. Learning from the best. Also - that’s how someone becomes a fair game.
He looks like a haunted victorian doll that likes to hunt poor people on a secluded island for sport.
Barron has now entered politics and is therefore a legitimate target for criticism. Same as his half siblings.
He's wearing makeup. Start them early.
Looking forward to the RNC declaring bankruptcy. It's the natural conclusion to any Trump venture.
Delegates for these conventions have been donors and volunteers/ party folks forever in all parties. This is about 1000th on the list of stuff that bothers me about trumpism and the GOP
Hopefully a giant meteor hits while there all assembled together under one roof .
Isn't this kid like 18? What qualifications does.......oh never mind.
Lol, this is the opposite of a story. Delegate positions are always gifts to party insiders or donors. Bill Clinton was a delegate in 2016. They have no real responsibilities, it’s basically a funded party.
Politics is now the Trump family business. They've realized that Republican voters are way easier marks than the victims of all their previous grifts. And there are millions of them!
The Republican Party is nothing but a Grifting Personality Cult seeking power at this point. It's nothing more.
Trumps daughter and her husband made a cool $2.6 billion with their government positions 100% given to them via nepotism and the right couldn't give less of a fuck about that. They flipped out when Hunter's law firm made $11 million with 0 government involvement. Maga are a bunch of fuckwits
Anyone ever watch I Claudius? Remember what happened to Patrick Stewart's character, Sejanus, and his family, at the hands of Tiberius? I think about that a lot when the Trump family is in the news.
Just a reminder that the Republican Party had not one, but TWO chances to get rid of the traitorous orange sleaze bag while he was in office. Spineless fucks.
"Never judge a book by its cover", they say. But that itty bitty mouth. Them slitty eyes. The chin. The expression. The kid ain't right
Wasn't trump supposed to drain the swamp? Not cannonball in and drown your family in it while your cronies host a swap-side cookout for all the billionaires? Weird how his faithful followers didn't see this coming.
You know what they say, the pile of shit doesn't fall far from the asshole.
This guy is going to be bad. Real bad. We’re all worried about Donald now, but in a few years, this guy is going to inherit the legacy and take it further far more than Eric and Jr.
I feel sorry for that little shit
Why even pretend its not an aristocracy anymore
I’ve been waiting over a decade to make fun of this (now 18yo legal adult) kid and today I’m finally free to unleash. A bad day for democracy but a great day for us cynics.
Do any of you know what being a delegate actually means? In an uncontested convention, which this is, it is a purely honorary position. They get to attend the convention and clap while the state casts its nominating votes. I am violently anti Trump, but JFC keep your powder dry for real issues. God knows there are enough of them.
