    I would have been surprised if a directionless, powerless in the shadow of his family, smug rich kid didn’t subscribe to some macho bullshit snake oil salesman offering him some feeling of legitimacy for being shitty. And of course the redpill carnival barker is going to latch on to the useless rich kid because of his family.

    What reputation did he have? Just that he was mostly silent before this?

    How far did people expect this apple to fall from the tree?

    Wtf… am I taking crazy pills? This article didn’t even say anything about Barron Trump. It talked a lot about tate and others. It mentioned unnamed “connections”, but didn’t describe those connection between barron and tate at all. (It mentioned that a friend said that those two had a zoom call, thats it.)

    I dont know anything about Barron trump, and after this article I still dont.

    I hated all of the “say what you want about Trump and Melania… but leave the kids out of it” bullshit.

    It’s a fucking family of monsters. That’s what these “upper crusts” produce. More fucking monsters that never learn accountability, gratitude or anything. Because everyone is so obsessed with sheltering the kids from the actions of their family. And then guess what, that kid grows up and acts EXACTLY like their parents because they were never challenged to be different.

    Fuck Baron, just the next link in a chain of fucking monsters.

      I think that it’s perfectly fine and morally and tactically best practices to not attack minors. None of his kids is a minor anymore. It’s also generally for the best to leave out kids who don’t participate in politics. All but one of them have made policy decisions for him.

      It’s the difference between attacking Obama’s daughters vs attacking Chelsea Clinton vs attacking Jeb! Bush

      Well, I have said repeatedly in the past that while his father is a fascist criminal, his mother is a scam artist and a shameless gold digger, and his two elder brothers are professional crooks, Barron deserved the benefit of the doubt until he showed whether he decided to distance himself from his terrible family or not.

      I guess he deserves the benefit of the doubt no longer.

        he was always going to turn out this way. Because he had no reason not to. He was being raised by crooks, racists, thieves and rapists. And everyone was like “nono, we shouldn’t interfere, it’ll be fine”.

        Want to know why I’m not a red voting racist dipshit like the rest of my family up and down the tree? Because I was challenged as a kid to defend my views and actions of my family. I had to think critically about who was raising me and if that was moral and ethical. I felt ashamed of knowing what my family was instead of just adopting their views wholesale. Because OTHER people didn’t just let it happen.

    I wouldn’t be surprised he already has a sex scandal covered up at this point. That family is beyond reprehensible.

      Well if anything it proves his pedigree. I also have a strong feeling this is someone we’re going to be hearing about for a very very long time.

        Idk, he’s a troubled son of a politician. They have a tendency to make choices that aren’t conducive to a long life.

      The kid’s clearly on the bad path, but that particular claim is one person without any substantial proof.
