I didn't know Barron attended the RNC

[CatWoman]

he just towers over everyone.

and look at those huge mitts!!!

[progressive nobody]

1. Looks like Melania about ready to slap jr

[elleng]

2. Not smiling.

[CatWoman]

5. he looks a lot like his mom

[BigmanPigman]

3. He looks like he was manufactured in Russia.

Jared has competition in the "most robot-like" catagory.

[LizBeth]

4. I have never seen the kids smile or laugh or any other emotion really.

[Arkansas Granny]

37. Like you, I've never seen a picture of him smiling.

Maybe I'm reading too much into a photo, but I've always had the impression that he is emotionally fragile. I'm glad the media has left him alone.

[LizBeth]

39. +1. I am curious though

[Peregrine Took]

41. i saw him smiling twice. Once to Tiffany - they seem to like each other and

once to his dad sitting on the stand at the inauguration. They had a nice exchange of smiles at that time. I guess something as going by that tickled him.

That's it.

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. It looks like a hostage picture.

Lousy bastards using the WH as cheap prop.

[paleotn]

7. Maybe it's just me...

but I don't think there's any Donnie DNA there. That and he looks like he was assembled out of spare parts from dead nazis. Just saying.

[tblue37]

9. He resembles Donald when he was very young. nt

[JI7]

34. He actually looks like Melania before the plastic surgery

[musette_sf]

10. he most closely resembles

Vlad

[paleotn]

11. Vlad had to do the deed himself.

[GulfCoast66]

29. No chance. Too tall. Vlad is a shorty.

[tblue37]

13. For example, that's Donald on the left in the first picture:

[Walleye]

18. Now those are some hostage photos

[Hekate]

46. As recently as a year ago, Barron was the (younger) image of The Donald...

...and you could see why women thought DT was very good looking back in the day. A complete pig, but handsome. Barron definitely carries DT’s DNA.

Interesting, but aside from the unhappiness always present in the boy’s face, the contours seem to be changing this year. (We saw this with Malia and Sasha as well. It’s called growing up.) He might end up looking more Slovenian after all.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. He looks like he would like very much to be somewhere else. Anywhere else.

[SheltieLover]

17. I'd read he has autism

Some publication I can't recall, Malaria had a big public tantrum. I think story was retracted.

But, if true, persons with autism frequently present with a completely flat affect, as he appears in this image.

Mind you, I'm not dxing him or dissing him.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. Could be, or maybe he's just miserable and trying not to be obvious about it.

[SheltieLover]

21. Could be

Likely forced to be there. Poor kid. If he has autism, that would be horrifying!

[Luz]

27. I think he may be. Also could explain his anti-vax attitude.

He has to blame it on something.

[SheltieLover]

32. True

But repukes are pretty much anti-science, right up until they need a doc.

[kskiska]

25. Melania sued over a magazine article

that raised the possiblity he's autistic. However, most photos of him show him as expressionless.

[SheltieLover]

30. That's it!

Couldn't quite put my finger on it. Malaria had a huge tantrum about that, as if autism is something to be ashamed of. 🤬

Yup, his affect appears flat as a board, the few times I've seen pix.

Thx!

[Hekate]

47. It's not shame so much (because they have no shame) as it is the utter imperative to be perfect...

There’s a word for that.... Ubermensch. How dare anyone question their innate superiority?

[FarPoint]

33. I just added a post in this discussion...

A friend I was talking with today, a Special Ed teacher has always thought he had some autism....there ya go...

[Sympthsical]

12. By all accounts, he's very shy

Doesn't like being in the spotlight.

He's a teenager. I cut him all the slack.

He's an interesting mix of both parents' features. He somehow strongly resembles them both.

He seems very close with his mother who, by what we know, is highly protective of him. So she's at least got that instinct going on. I imagine her influence is shaping him much more than his asshole father's.

But, he's a kid. Who knows. Tall, though.

[GusFring]

14. I don't get the fascination with this kid. He looks like he hates life.

[Walleye]

15. Melania's hands are larger than Donnie's

Probably why she is repulsed by him grabbing at her

[Srkdqltr]

16. For crying out loud. He's a kid.. go easy.

[CatWoman]

22. i don't/can't see where I criticized this kid at all

I just remarked about his height and the size of his hands?????????

[Srkdqltr]

26. You do realize there are a lot of other comments?

I just happen to think a lot of the comments are a crummy ass way to talk about a kid. He hasn't done anything.. wrong or otherwise. When or if he does something then the comments will be whatever.

[CatWoman]

28. you didn't respond to them

you responded to me as the OP

[Srkdqltr]

40. Sorry.. thought I was commenting in general to everyone.

[stillcool]

19. He seems too human for that family...

and like he's in a world of his own. I hope Melania's parents have given him some grounding, and he turns out okay. Maybe with less exposure to Donald he'll be almost normal.

[msongs]

23. learning the family values starts young nt

[CatWoman]

24. wonder what he did to get Tiffany on board?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

36. A threat of disinheritance?

[CatWoman]

42. Sounds like his style............

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

45. Yup. "I'm sure you'd like to speak for your Daddy at the RNC, wouldn't you, sweetheart?

And I hope you've been enjoying your lovely new wardrobe and the fact that you won't have to pay back any law school loans, at least for now. Right, honey?'

[Hekate]

48. Sounds about right. Then bam! assimilation into the Borg. nt

[CatWoman]

49. he probably threatened to cut Marla off, too

[jrthin]

43. Maybe he did nothing. She is showing us who she is.

All of these people are scums and low life with money. When people show me who they are, I believe them.

[StarryNite]

50. That's my take too.

[FarPoint]

31. A Special Ed teacher shared that she suspected

Barron has some autism....Just her thoughts...nothing firm but a suspicion.

[GulfCoast66]

35. Good looking kid if he could smile. But I remember being that age.

And I was in a happy, loving family.

Would love to see him rebel and become a liberal democrat. Which could well happen.

[marybourg]

38. It's all that caviar lotion Melania used to rub him with.

[Freethinker65]

44. Picture looks out of proportion, like he was photoshopped in.

Perhaps is is because he towers over the rest of the family but still looks like a young kid (both of which I guess are true).
