He is the wisest Trump I've heard of

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

Agreed, but we need to remember the bar for that particular honor is underground.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 3 months ago

He has to stand on a porch and stare off into the distance that day

I think it would be hilarious if he went into politics as a staunch socialist

[–] kwomp2 5 points 3 months ago

And they live in a filmstudio white house in one continious sitcom and voting is replaced by how many stars you give each episode. A commission of reaction-video-youtubers intetpret the episode to forge the ratings into political policy making

Even Trump's son doesn't have time for him.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago

Not like Trump has time for any of his kids. I guess Barron realizes daddy will never love him. Too bad Eric never did.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

A wise Trump!

Little mf has to return some video tapes 🤣

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Oh my God, it even has a watermark!

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I’m hoping prior commitments are some gaming tournaments and spring break like activities.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 months ago

Or just "staying the hell away from dad's mess"

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago

The younger generation really is smarter

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

Damn yo, Barron's giving ol' Donny the Eric treatment 😅

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He's definitely on the spectrum. His mom had to come to his corner. It's obvious he doesn't want anything to do with his shitty dad

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why does that mean he's on the spectrum?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Reading comprehension.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That isn't an answer to the question I asked

[–] [email protected] -2 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

That doesn't make any sense either.

My comment wasn't edited and neither was the one I replied to (at least not after I replied to it)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

I heard his furaffinity commissions page is booked solid for the next 4 years.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Should take it and vote for Biden. Would make for some fun news coverage.

@Ghostalmedia Maybe one member of that disfunctional family has some morals?

[–] xmunk 42 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's way too early to tell. He was brought up in wealth and chances are he's a shitty person purely due to that but hey - he's young and he hasn't had a public persona.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There's a chance that Melania has instilled in him a deep and neverending hatred of his father. It shouldn't have been too difficult. In an effort to rebel against everything his father represents, he might accidentally become a good person.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Maybe. Melania isn't exactly a good role model, either. Hating Donald is the minimum bar for being a decent human being.

Have you ever seen a picture of Barron smiling?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Yeah, but if the hated turns into a complete rejection of everything he stands for, there's a chance.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

or maybe its scripted so Barron is the 'rebel' of this media boy band.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

@Num10ck maybe, but I suspect Melania’s in control of Barron, so Donald and his mob may not have much say.

That Mario isn’t going to Cart himself!
