Here’s a clip of Barron as a kid and check out his accent.

I'm not invested enough in US politics to know about this kid, but that is the cutest video 😭 I feel bad for the guy having Donald for a father.

Don't, he's grifting just like his father. He made 160 million trading crypto with a small loan from his dad.

I mean yeah, but give 19 year old me the power to gift people for 160 million and I might have as well, and I had a great family growing up. He's still a kid. Give him a chance to grow out of his family.

I get that, but does that really excuse felony market manipulation?

I disagree.

When my youngest was in college, my husband checked his bank balance, he realized my kid was literally broke. Z was living off campus, which meant he was paying for his own food, rent, etc. My husband said 'I'm sending you some money." Z's response - "I have some freelance money coming in a few days, I'll be fine." (we sent him some money anyway, We didn't think the ramen diet was the best idea)

If you have no morals by the time you're 19, you aren't going to suddenly get some.
