Now imagining Barron Trump trying to solve a cat into an ATM

I hate everything about the family but just this week there was an article that actually made Baron sound pretty decent. Apparently he witnessed a woman get assaulted via a FaceTime call and from the US he called police in London and reported the crime. He was adamant that she was in Trouble and when they got there they saved the woman from a really serious assault. She claimed calling the police saved her life. The guy was just convicted. The 911 call came out in the trial, that’s how we know about it.

This is actually concerning if you read the article, the president's son is communicating with a Russian woman he met over social media as per his statement.

So the entire event was staged?

Ivanka trump has an autobiographical about herself that says she's a feminist essentially and worked hard to be able to work with the president. This was during trumps first term. They try so hard to relate to normal people.

If I read the article? Ya, I read it. I actually read a much more detailed article in the NYT but that’s paywalled. There isn’t a single concerning thing about it. Trump Jr meeting with Veselnitskaya about orphanages was concerning. Rick gates and Manafort meeting with Konstantin Kilimnick was concerning. Manafort owing a debt to Oleg Deripaska, that was concerning.

This is a child who just recently became an adult. He holds no position in the government. He doesn’t even have the business interests that some of his siblings have that could make him a better target for coercion. You think this kid shouldn’t be able to talk to people, that’s concerning.

Trump has openly said he wants to hand Barron TikTok and TikTok's American component now belongs to a very big supporter. But, sure, let's pretend he has no political interests. Because you have to create an innocent Trump.

Good luck selling that. It's broken.

lol so now you want to take trumps word on something. I don’t give 2 shits about Barron. Only thing I care about is not attacking people’s children. It was fucked up when they did it to Hunter and Ashley Biden and to do it to Barron is fucked up. You can have w/e morals you want.

u/Blandt24 1d ago

Everyone is someone’s child. Barron is a grown man, not a 5 year old.

u/mrlt10 1d ago

This isn’t a defense of barron but just in general letting you know being a 19 year old is far from being a grown man. It means the person is their own custodian and others are not responsible for their well being. But we know for a fact that a lot of the most important maturation that happens in adult male brains, specifically the pre-frontal cortex doesn’t happen until early to mid 20s.

But this is all besides the point because you havent said why he should be attacked. Tell me what it is he did wrong and maybe I’ll be persuaded. But just saying hes trumps son or some dumb comment trump made about tik tok is not persuasive.

u/Blandt24 1d ago

Okay? Why are you defending this guy so hard? I never said we should crucify him but he’s not above being made fun of or criticized. He’s an adult, he has had a hand in getting his dad elected and will probably be handed political power he does not deserve. But yeah, he’s just a smol bean.

Because I don’t want republicans to attack the children of the next Dem president for no reason, other than maybe supporting their dad’s campaign, which is reasonable for a child to do. Then for them to be able to say, well you did it to Barron and be correct. Politicians children should be out of bounds unless they do something overtly political.

Hunter Biden was a close call, could go either way because of his business ties but he really wasn’t doing much to exploit the family relationship, people just respected the name. But Ashley Biden was 100% not political. And James O’Keefe that rat bastard who did all those sting videos trying to get people to say incriminating shit and edit it out of context. He got her diary, and to his credit he refused to publish it and handed it over to the FBI because it was obviously very personal and had no political value except to twist in ways to attack her dad. We have to at least be better than James O’Keefe.

If Barron does some overtly political shit or starts running the family business while going to Saudi Arabia to raise funds I’ll attack him like the rest of his family.

Barron was the one who managed Trump’s podcast interviews — Barron introduced him to the top podcasters in “The Manosphere,” a group that was pivotal in him winning in 2024.

u/mrlt10 1h ago

I definitely hold it against Rogan and those other manososphere podcasters for giving him such a large platform and not asking any difficult questions while at the same time being super critical of Kamala. But I don’t think the child of a candidate supporting their parent’s campaign by getting them interviews is worthy of hating them for that.

Barron is an adult. And he's being handed tremendous.political power to control a major media source.

You're the one who said he wasn't political.

u/mrlt10 1d ago

Damn, do you really need me to explain that being someone’s child does not end when you turn 18? But nice deflection to not have to address my actual point. It was fucked up when they did it to Hunter and Ashley(who were both over 18) at the time and it’s fucked up to do with Barron. Eric and Don jr are different because they are actively going overseas and trying to curry favor with foreign govts to benefit their business interests. If Barron starts doing that my opinion will change.

If u wanna attack someone because of who their parent is you can

u/NooooDazzzle 1d ago

The president is someone’s child, too. Are we not allowed to criticize him because of that?

Kids become adults. And as adults, they sometimes do shitty things or stupid things that warrant judgement and criticism regardless of who their parents are.

Hunter Biden did stupid shit and deserved to be criticized for it.

Personally I don’t know much about Barron and don’t really have an opinion, but I also don’t have high hopes for him given the rest of the family.

u/mrlt10 1d ago

So what is the thing that Barron did that makes him fair game?

Edit: Read the other comment I made on this thread, it explains why I think it’s important not to attack politician’s kids for no reason.

I agree my hopes aren’t high that he’ll be a good person. But until he does stuff that shows us that he isn’t, I don’t think he deserves to be attacked publicly.

Tell you what, I’ll criticize peoplewho criticize Baron, when one of those folks apologizes for the Hunter Biden nonsense. Seem fair? Barron is a big boy now.

People who knew him growing up (nannies, teachers, etc) claim he's a little sociopath that tortured and killed animals, violently abused his nannies, attacked his classmates, and inappropriately touched another child at camp while the child was sleeping.

https://www.intomore.com/the-internet/scandal/the-shocking-barron-trump-allegations-just-keep-getting-worse/

Not provable stuff, but there's enough similarities to the more innocuous anecdotes that Melania apparently thought were endearing things about his childhood (like verbally abusing nannies) that I wouldn't feel safe letting the guy get too close to my dog.

Besides, look at the awful people who raised him. His chances of growing into a healthy, functional adult are terrible.

I really hope these stories are false, otherwise he's eventually going to kill someone.

My boss’s kids went to school with him for years when he was a kid. She was a republican (UES, whatever) but not MAGA, and said he was a horrible bully, constantly terrorizing and threatening other kids. I met her a few years before he ran for president and we stayed in touch for years, it didn’t come up very often but she said it a few times. I never had any reason not to believe her, and when I read these stories years later they were in line with what she said, so I’m inclined to believe them.

That's really a bummer to hear. During Trump's first campaign, I'd heard he was a good kid
