2. Maybe Barron wishes to be "kept out of sight" and not paraded in front of cameras.

I detest Melania and The Donald but I'm sure they're proud of their son. Folks need to lay off - he's a kid.

When I saw the smile and hand holding earlier today I realize it was not the real Melania.

and hopefully will never come back, he has seeked refuge in Florida, I thought his neighbors were against him going back to Florida. But then again, Mr Desantis has been his protector.

go away. Barron’s burden is being a Trump. People mention him because he is the child of a President. I’ve never heard anyone make derogatory remarks about him. I have sympathy for him. Next thing I suppose is we won’t be able to discuss Champ and Major. Oh, the sensitivity of it all.

13. Is Barron autistic or something along those lines?

I'm certainly not making fun, whatsoever, because as far as I'm concerned, he's totally off limits. I wish the repigs had exercised the same amount of respect vis-a-vis Chelsea Clinton, and the Obama daughters, but that isn't going to make me follow their lead.

I was just curious as he is kept so far out of sight. Of course Pussy-Grabber isn't exactly an ideal father, but Melania, despite her horrendous nature, seems to have maternal feelings towards him. . . Oh well. . .

he is on the spectrum. I feel so sorry for that kid to have the parents and siblings he has.

Maybe he will find a way to break free somehow vs getting absorbed into the black hole that is them for life.

16. You've heard The Who's "Tommy," correct?
Thu Dec 24, 2020, 02:10 AM

Tommy experienced extreme trauma (on the album and stage play it was his father killing his wife's boyfriend; in the movie the boyfriend killed his father) and shut out the world in response.

If being the son of the monster currently in the White House doesn't qualify as "extreme trauma," I don't know what does.
