I know that he's usually off limits, but hey, he's 18 now, about to graduate from high school. And I think it's appropriate to ask some questions about him.
Like why isn't there anything on the record of him talking, privately and/or publicly? Is there anything wrong with him?
Why doesn't he announce that he won't be a delegate? Why his mother?
Why hasn't it been announced where he's going to college? (My guess it's like Gia Giudice of RHONJ: Her enrollment in law school hasn't been announced b/c she ain't going.)
What are his plans for the future?
I know, I know. Small potatoes when we have a democracy crisis with his father. Yet, I get the feeling there's a secret being kept about him.

Think. Again.
(22,456 posts)...I consider him a private citizen whose life details are none of business.

(44,741 posts)However if he goes on juniors podcast and opens his mouth about anything, hes fair game. You dont really see him hanging out with his older brothers, though

(13,850 posts)probably Melania's decision, and it's one of the best decisions she could make for him.
I'm not comfortable talking about him bc he hasn't sought the spotlight (much like Tiffany). The other three (Ivanka, Eric and Jr.) have all been surrogates, in positions at the White House, or go out on social media/actual media and say stupid shit. They're open game. But Tiffany and Barron have avoided the spotlight, they're saddled with a narcissistic shithead as a dad, and until they actively make the country a worse place, I'm happy to ignore them/leave them alone.

(20,881 posts)Being shielded from the public is perhaps the better choice. The few times he has been seen, he appeared very aloof, unresponsive, no expression of emotion on his face.
If that be the case, then I say, leave him alone. Once he voices an opinion that is viewed as extreme in a Trumpian manner counter to the institutional norms, then Barron becomes fair game.
I read an article yesterday that Melania has pulled him out of being a Delegate from Florida.
