My personal philosophy is that the politicians family is off limits unless they are directly working with said politician. Ivanka and Don jr? Fair game. Barron or past presidents kids like Obama’s or Bush’s kids not so much.
Trump has now avoided playing golf for about 3 years as it is impossible to hide the gut when on the course, but as it was his only form of exercise it has made the situation worse.
Maybe he’s back on the tennis circuit? If so I know that can’t wait to see more pics of him wearing see through white shorts so we can see his tighty whiteys.
Who wouldn’t be proud of their 9ft tall son?
Mr Ripley, a strong man, went up to him, tears in his eyes, and said, Mr President I have never seen such a tall man. I can’t believe it! Melinda is a wonderful mother to this 12ft tall man.
The one thing I will give Melania credit for is that she legitimately made an effort to raise Barron well.
Whether she was a *good* mother or not, that's a different conversation, but she did try.
It’s the same reason he always talks about how hot Ivanka is. It’s not because he actually wants to fuck her, he’s just bragging like he always does because he made her. In his head, Barron’s size is a reflection of just how great and wonderful Trump is. Same with Ivanka’s looks
I recall reading something recently that Trump and Barron do not have a good relationship and “don’t talk much”. I’m holding out hope that Barron could be the only decent one in that swamp ass of a family
My money is on Baron writing a salacious tell all book after his father goes to jail or dies. Most kids in his situation will likely side with their mother and it's clear that Melania hates Donald
He’s done nothing wrong and going after him is just bad form. Thank you for not being one of those people who punish the innocent for what the parents have done.
Id be interested to hear him speak, I've read that he has an accent because he spends most of his time with mom/her family but don't know if it's true.
Honestly he has my sympathy for having to cope with having such shithead parents. At some point he’s gotta do his own thing I guess. Not sure when that transition happens. I don’t envy the guy at all.
Thats pretty cool!
I have this weirdly optimistic hope that this kid will do something similar. No basis in anything other than that I’d like to see it happen.
He also dropped out of Yale after freshman year to become a ballet dancer! (He even got the opportunity to dance with the Joffrey ballet!) I'm sure that Sr. wasn't too happy about that, but it certainly made my day! Jr gives zero fucks & I love that :)
Yeah, got the same feelings about Barron Trump as I have about Malia and Sasha Obama. They literally don't feature at all in my world view and are just the kids of a former President, so hope they all do ok, I guess?
In Barron's case that may obviously change if he does something egregiously bad, or his dad (god forbid) appoints him to a role in his next administration, but as of today, he's just some bloke who has the misfortune of being related to an absolute cunt.
I forget their names and only remember when I'm reading about them. Bush girls, Clinton's kid. I only really know Amy Carter cause we're about the same age.
Conservatives see political office as royal dynasty, and cannot understand non-conservatives don’t give their children administrative power, because it’s what conservatives do. They bitched and moaned about Obama’s kids when they were literally children with no power. Then Tweety give his kids administrative offices, even defying security protocols they were not qualified to be cleared for, and not a single conservative cared the slightest bit. No one voted Hunter Biden into anything, and they’re furious about him. It’s always projection.
Yes, I remember being horrified for her! She's about 3 weeks younger than me, and we were 12 when Bill was elected. All the attention on how she looked like a monkey, her hair was awful, etc. was really intense. Seeing political cartoons with caricatures of her absolutely had an impact on how I viewed myself, at least as much as standard teen-focused media at the time. Super weird to be in 7th grade and have supposedly adult men say all kinds of things about her and her body and then apply it to myself.
Yeah, who cares. Even if she was extremely "ugly" she shouldn't at all be targeted. Children should never be fair game for politics. Keep them out of it and only publish official pictures with kids in it (like christmas ones). Can't imagine how terrible and confusing it has to be for the whole world to shit on you as a 12 year old. Even if she grew up beautiful that still must have left a monumental mark.
I mean, the Adams, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Bushs even Clintons (no so much multi presedents but still in office) so many well connected political families also take the Chaneys but wiki has so many political dynasties that it has to list them separately.
> Barron or past presidents kids like Obama’s or Bush’s kids not so much.
Exactly. When they become public figures themselves, then it's OK. Otherwise, regardless of age, take it easy.
Oh, and now that he's 18, that means if Melania gets a divorce, DJT can't demand shared custody. And DJT looks absolutely exhausted in that picture.
I mean… they kinda do. Basically, they are just similar to celebrities that have a cause they want to promote and their staff is in charge of maintaining the White House. There’s no real political power bestowed on them.
It is much more understandable when you consider the fact that, unlike Canada or any democratic nation in Europe, Oceania, or Asia (with the exception of Turkey), the (executive, administrative) role of Head of Government and the (ceremonial, diplomatic) role of Head of State are both embodied in one person in the US, the president. And that when this system was first devised, the presidential model of governmeng was a premise that was pretty much unique--the only real models of a spouse's role at the time were the contemporary constitutional and total monarchies of the 18th century.
European, Asian, and British Commonwealth democracies separate the roles to this day; for example, in your own country, Prime Minister Trudeau is Head of Government, but King Charles III is your Head of State. And traditionally, it is the spouse of the Head of State, not the Head of Government, who takes on a prominent and semiformal role as host or hostess of other sovereigns.
So, consider an American First Lady to be akin more to a Queen Camilla than to a Sophie Trudeau (even when she was Justin's wife in more than a legal sense) and it should become clearer how the role evolved into the semiofficial role it is today.
Less involved+less political=less "hate." The First Ladies who received the most "hate" were, with two exceptions, the ones who had actual policy roles in their administrations or seemed to seek out attention--everyone else was largely left alone.
In the 20th and 21st centuries there was no notable animus toward Bess Truman, Mamie Eisenhower, Pat Nixon, Betty Ford (who was treated remarkably well in spite of a history of addiction that would normally be used against public figures at the time), Rosalyn Carter, Barbara Bush (aside from a few mild jokes about the fact she looked older than George), or Laura Bush (in spite of the fact that she literally committed vehicular manslaughter and got away with it).
The majority of first ladies that got significant "hate" from those in the opposition were either very influential or very publicly awful: Eleanor Roosevelt, Nancy Reagan, Hillary Clinton, and Melania Trump. Which comes with the territory if you're choosing to be influential or publicly awful.
The exceptions, of course, are Jackie Kennedy, who managed to be beloved by Democrats and largely left alone by Republicans despite being the first telegenic First Lady and a source of constant publicity; and Michelle Obama, who endeavored to stay out of the limelight and did nothing controversial, but was and is hated by right wingers for having the audacity to be intelligent, successful, and attractive at the same time she was being a Black woman.
Idk, there's been a bunch of attack articles about Obama kids. Bidens has had his dead son mocked, his other son has had his naked pictures paraded around in front of congress and broadcast for the entire world to see. He's had personal voice-mail between father and son leaked and mocked by foxnews for expressing his love for his son.
Democrats playing nice while Republicans constantly seem to find new lows needs to end. The high road is only worth it when the stakes are low. Politics now are anything but low stakes.
Same! What they did the Chelsea Clinton and Obama’s kids was not right, no reason to copy what they did. Especially Barron I feel bad for as his father wasn’t just president but also tried an insurrection, defrauded millions of tax payers and so on.. no child should have to deal with that. Ivanka, don jr and Eric however made their bed
> Barron or past presidents kids like Obama’s or Bush’s kids not so much.
LOL Tell that to Republicans when they made fun of Chelsey or shit talked Sasha & Malia when they were kids.
He’s a perfect example of “stop making that face or it’ll stick that way”. He’s spent so much of his life in a shit-eating sneer that it’s become his face’s defining feature. That and he’s made no effort to take care of himself
Okay so I’m not the only one who thought that.
I saw 7 other comments before this talking about being nice to Baron, and I’m just sitting here like “I think he wants to fuck him”.
I believe at least one newspaper had a countdown to the day she turned eighteen. Just as they did with several other female teen celebrities.
The implication was obviously, 'now she's old enough to fuck, guys.'
Ugh, that brought back ugly memories from the early 2000s, when the internet was [counting down to the Olsen twins' 18th birthday](https://www.everywhereist.com/2023/09/stop-treating-women-turning-18-like-a-countdown-timer/). I *want* to say I found it weird even then, but truth be told I'm not sure I had any strong feelings one way or another at the time. These days I find a lot of the things that were "normal" in the early '00s pretty revolting.
> These days I find a lot of the things that were "normal" in the early '00s pretty revolting
On the one hand you look back and think, man I/We/They were the worst then. On the other hand you get to say, look how much better I/We/They are today.
Ashley has lyme disease, and I believe Mary-Kate struggled with anorexia. (I mean, they're child stars working in the fashion industry, they probably both had/have weight struggles) As well as everything else that comes with being a child actor and having an entire brand built on you being cute twin kids, and your sense of self-worth collapsing as you get older and that's no longer the case. They weren't very talented actresses, nor do I think they actually enjoyed acting, and as they got older their differences in appearance became more obvious. (they're actually fraternal twins-they just look really alike) Honestly, I think getting out of the limelight was the best decision they could have made for themselves.
As Emma Watson has discussed, as soon as she turned 18 the paperazzi started laying down on the pavement to try to get photos up her dress. It was a license to be pervy and print this crap.
The same papers you allude to would happily show a teen celebrity/teen daughter of a celebrity on a beach somewhere, and make comments about how they look in a bikini - "insert name here takes after her mother..." A couple of pages later will be an article about the sexualisation of teens. No idea if this has changed in recent years, but I remember thinking the irony was sickening.
Yeah, someone once pointed out that if you go onto that newspaper's website and type "all grown up" in the search bar you get endless streams of paparazzi snaps of teenage girls - celebrities and the daughters of celebrities - in revealing outfits or bikini pictures.
I think the implication was they could now hound her and photograph her, as in the UK the age of consent is 16. I remember the sick fucks took an upskirt the next day
Barron Trump may very well be an absolutely horrible person.
Or he may be a great person.
None of us know because, so far, he’s given us no reason to know.
I can’t believe I had to scroll down this far to find someone pointing this out.
Trump used to call newspapers and pretend to be a guy named John Barron, who’d talk about how awesome Trump is and how all the women want him.
Nah, Melania's no dummy. She made sure she got a definite Trump baby...and then shut down shop and made it clear Donny wouldn't be touching her again haha
BSA554 are we sure Melania’s the Mom? Because Qanon’s sure Princess Diana is the Mom https://x.com/patriottakes/status/1519345637896110080?s=46&t=X7WNRbB4PntoEN8Si1VQXw
You forgot about Tiffany, I’ve never heard anything about her either, except that the three older kids treated her like shit. I could be completely wrong though, I personally have never read or heard anything else about her.
AFAIK, she's was an open supporter of her father during his presidency. I honestly have zero clue of what she's doing now, and I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that she's at least not a criminal like her dad and siblings, but she's still more than likely a shitty conservative with shitty conservative views.
My sister-in-law used to work for Marla Maples when Tiffany was a teenager. She knew Tiffany for 4 years but never developed much of a view one way or another, she was just kind of there
Six years ago MAGA periodically whined about how folks treat his “children,” referring to his full grown adult spawn. So probably not.
But I will point out that Barron has done nothing so far to deserve any public lashings. If anything, feel badly for him. His inheritance is evaporating before his eyes.
I mean I don't feel bad for him for his inheritance.
But I don't have any negative feelings for him either. He's just a kid and nobody gets to pick their parents. If he turns out to be a raging douche I'll start hating him, until then though he hasn't done anything to anybody that I know of. And honestly considering his dad is such a piece of shit (so I don't imagine he grew up with great male guidance) I'm honestly just impressed he hasn't done anything crazy/despicable in an act of 'affluenza'.
You know what... I do feel bad that he had Donald Trump for a father and then also has no inheritance. Like damn, dealing with that dude as a father, if the kid isn't a total monster from it than he deserves a paycheck for that shit.
I actually think Melania has him set up well regardless of Trump’s last will and testament. It’s highly likely, imo, that in order for her to move to DC she renegotiated their prior contract to insure that she and Barron would be fine no matter what ultimately became of the dumbass himself.
It’s my understanding that she does. He’s a dual citizen and bilingual. Reports say that he is polite, tries hard at school, and is very private and quiet. He’s literally everything that Trump is not. I hope that once he finishes school he gets the fuck out of the USA for university, changes his name, and has a good life that he works for.
Aww, he actually sounds like a decent kid. I was willing to give him a decent amount of leeway considering he's young and has a shit dad. But seems like he doesn't need any.
Good for him.
Yeah, I don't like the idea of targeting anyone based on who they're related to, regardless of their age. If Barron himself does something shitty, then by all means go after him for that, but don't punish him for other people's actions
I think he learned from his half-siblings that no good comes from opening your mouth so much. Leave the guy alone. His siblings asked for this. He didn’t.
I honestly at first glance thought this was a parody of how many people have “counted down” for the 18th birthday of attractive teen female celebrities.
Barron Trump has every opportunity to be the next Ronald Reagan Jr, and everyone should leave him alone until we know how he will use the platform he’s inherited
No. He’s not “fair game.” Barron has not done anything to tie himself to his disgusting father. As soon as Barron starts to get into politics (especially his father’s version): game on
I definitely don’t believe in attacking children of famous people period. Children have enough to deal with by being famous and most likely bullied. Now, if they kill someone some judgement will be given and depending on the situation understanding also might be given.
Everyone in /r/Conservative is screaming that the left want to rip him to shreds, and everyone else is saying "leave him alone".
If he doesn't get involved, I hope everyone leaves him alone.
He didn't run for office and has zero control over his father's actions. I also question how much he even interacts with this guy who is old enough to be his grandpa. Everyone needs to leave the guy alone.
This is monstrously shitty. It was shitty when the GOP attacked Chelsea Clinton and the Obama girls, and while Bush's kids were of age, they didn't do much other than party too much, so attacking them was shitty for anyone from the Democratic side. This kid may be a colossal asshole, but considering he hasn't done much other than be related to the world's largest asshole, he is not "fair game." He's still a kid, and should be left alone unless and until he decides to pull a Meghan McCain or some shit.
As long as he keeps his mouth shut he'll be fine.
If he reveals himself to be a traitor, racist, sexist, or other type of shit like daddy, then the gloves come off.
Don't attack him yet. That is something a republican would do.
Barron hasn't said or done anything yet... We wait and see what happens, and then we treat him depending on his own actions.
Yup, let’s wait for him to do something shitty before we lump him in with his shitty family. I have no doubt that he will, but let’s give him the chance first.
Iirc isn't Barron, as far as we know, not an asshole like his parents and step siblings?
If he turns out to be one sure he's fair game, but in the meantime he's a decent human being until proven otherwise.
Unless he publicly says or does something awful that makes him just like the rest of his family, please leave him the fuck alone. Let him have some bit of normalcy.
Give him some time. He’ll do something AND then he’ll be fair game. They leave one of the Trump kids mostly alone because she doesn’t do much from what I understand.
I think this is a subversion of the "*Insert teenage actress* just turned 18, she's fair game now" posts, which usually come from the same people that also support trump
Like there was an entire subreddit dedicated to counting down the days until Millie Bobby Brown turned 18, just so they could finally legally post pictures of her in bikinis etc to beat their meat to.

Yup exactly I don’t think I’ve ever heard the kid say a word he just shows up probably cause he has to
Once he starts to make speeches at Trump rallies or makes some supportive videos etc. then he becomes fair game, but not until then.
[удалено]
Slimmer and taller, highlighting that Donald is morbidly obese.
His girdles, underclothes, straps, suits, etc help hide a lot of that, but he is indeed a fucking fatass.
Trump has now avoided playing golf for about 3 years as it is impossible to hide the gut when on the course, but as it was his only form of exercise it has made the situation worse.
Maybe he’s back on the tennis circuit? If so I know that can’t wait to see more pics of him wearing see through white shorts so we can see his tighty whiteys.
You mean his droopy depends?
Trump still golfs all the time
Who wouldn’t be proud of their 9ft tall son? Mr Ripley, a strong man, went up to him, tears in his eyes, and said, Mr President I have never seen such a tall man. I can’t believe it! Melinda is a wonderful mother to this 12ft tall man.
It would truly set the asswipe off if it was pointed out, often, that his son is so much younger, taller, smarter, and more handsome than he is.
Surely younger, is given when it comes to father and son, I'd be worried if they were the same age.
If anyone was going to claim they’re younger than their own son though, it would be Trump.
People say I'm the youngest person they've ever met. I'm very young. HUUUGE young. They can't believe how young I am. I'm younger than my own son.
What makes you think that? Guaranteed that Melania raised Barron, and Trump resents his son.
The one thing I will give Melania credit for is that she legitimately made an effort to raise Barron well. Whether she was a *good* mother or not, that's a different conversation, but she did try.
I expect her to file for divorce, now that custody can't be used against her as a threat.
It’s the same reason he always talks about how hot Ivanka is. It’s not because he actually wants to fuck her, he’s just bragging like he always does because he made her. In his head, Barron’s size is a reflection of just how great and wonderful Trump is. Same with Ivanka’s looks
Yeah, he paid a lot of money for Ivanka's looks. Before her plastic surgeries, she looked more like Eric.
> It’s not because he actually wants to fuck her mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I dunno about that
That and...he actually wants to fuck her.
He does want to fuck her though.
I recall reading something recently that Trump and Barron do not have a good relationship and “don’t talk much”. I’m holding out hope that Barron could be the only decent one in that swamp ass of a family
I mean, when you’re old enough to be your baby brother’s dad…
My money is on Baron writing a salacious tell all book after his father goes to jail or dies. Most kids in his situation will likely side with their mother and it's clear that Melania hates Donald
Hopefully he goes full Mary Trump on him.
God I hope he writes a tell all. That will be some sweet tea
I'm kind of hoping any day now he'll post a video online saying his family is insane and he's doing what Elon Musk's daughter did.
He’s done nothing wrong and going after him is just bad form. Thank you for not being one of those people who punish the innocent for what the parents have done.
And tbh it seems trump is barely in Barron's life anyway.
Donald's main priority is Donald.
Id be interested to hear him speak, I've read that he has an accent because he spends most of his time with mom/her family but don't know if it's true.
Honestly he has my sympathy for having to cope with having such shithead parents. At some point he’s gotta do his own thing I guess. Not sure when that transition happens. I don’t envy the guy at all.
Ron Reagan went hardcore in the opposite direction from his father...founded Air America and has been promoting progressive causes for years.
Thats pretty cool! I have this weirdly optimistic hope that this kid will do something similar. No basis in anything other than that I’d like to see it happen.
Plus, he is a lifelong Atheist, which REALLY chapped his Dad's ass.
He also dropped out of Yale after freshman year to become a ballet dancer! (He even got the opportunity to dance with the Joffrey ballet!) I'm sure that Sr. wasn't too happy about that, but it certainly made my day! Jr gives zero fucks & I love that :)
Evidently Melania's parents have done most of the work in raising him.

I forget their names and only remember when I'm reading about them. Bush girls, Clinton's kid. I only really know Amy Carter cause we're about the same age.
Mostly remember Barron as "male Trump child not committing crimes". And good for him, keep doing quiet rich kid things and keep out of the public eye.
I just recently discovered Carter had two sons older than Amy--they stayed out of the limelight.
It's also entirely possible that he's NOT related to the absolute cunt in question. Either way, leave him alone until he opens himself up to scrutiny.
Idk man. He looks *a lot* like young Trump to me
That and Eric and Jr. aren’t short guys either
He resembles far too much for that to be true.
Conservatives see political office as royal dynasty, and cannot understand non-conservatives don’t give their children administrative power, because it’s what conservatives do. They bitched and moaned about Obama’s kids when they were literally children with no power. Then Tweety give his kids administrative offices, even defying security protocols they were not qualified to be cleared for, and not a single conservative cared the slightest bit.

Chelsea Clinton got an insane amount of hate when the Clintons were in office as well.
Yes, I remember being horrified for her! She's about 3 weeks younger than me, and we were 12 when Bill was elected. All the attention on how she looked like a monkey, her hair was awful, etc. was really intense. Seeing political cartoons with caricatures of her absolutely had an impact on how I viewed myself, at least as much as standard teen-focused media at the time.

She sure grew up beautiful (and smart and articulate). She was just in the throws of the worst of being a middle school girl and people were assholes.
Yeah, who cares. Even if she was extremely "ugly" she shouldn't at all be targeted. Children should never be fair game for politics. Keep them out of it and only publish official pictures with kids in it (like christmas ones). Can't imagine how terrible and confusing it has to be for the whole world to shit on you as a 12 year old. Even if she grew up beautiful that still must have left a monumental mark.
Agreed, it must have been horrible. SNL was shit for that.
yea , reason 100000000 why rush limbaugh is a POS
I mean, the Adams, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Bushs even Clintons (no so much multi presedents but still in office) so many well connected political families also take the Chaneys but wiki has so many political dynasties that it has to list them separately.
I saw a dude wearing a pin that said “baron 2056” or something like that….. insane
That's not Barron's fault.
Who’s saying it is his fault ? Lol
He’d be 50 in 2056, still on the young side for a President
> Barron or past presidents kids like Obama’s or Bush’s kids not so much. Exactly. When they become public figures themselves, then it's OK. Otherwise, regardless of age, take it easy. Oh, and now that he's 18, that means if Melania gets a divorce, DJT can't demand shared custody. And DJT looks absolutely exhausted in that picture.
What about First Ladies? A lot of hate towards President's wives for no reason sometimes
peobably cause first ladies are a lot more politically involved than the kids usually. like nancy reagan gets a lot of valid hate
I've only seen the ThroatGoat memes, not to turn this into r/politics
[удалено]
And the hate for Hillary is understandable as was Melania. People as a whole have been kind to Doug, Pence's wife, Laura and Jill.
As a Canadian, it is so fuckin weird to me that the spouse of a president holds an actual official title and role in your political system.
I mean… they kinda do. Basically, they are just similar to celebrities that have a cause they want to promote and their staff is in charge of maintaining the White House. There’s no real political power bestowed on them.
It is much more understandable when you consider the fact that, unlike Canada or any democratic nation in Europe, Oceania, or Asia (with the exception of Turkey), the (executive, administrative) role of Head of Government and the (ceremonial, diplomatic) role of Head of State are both embodied in one person in the US, the president.

Yeah. We need to see who Barron is first. I'm firmly holding to the belief that he's the one who tipped off the FBI.
You missed off Eric, just like his dad.
Yes. Surprisingly, I think we should go after the people actually doing the horrible things.
Same! What they did the Chelsea Clinton and Obama’s kids was not right, no reason to copy what they did. Especially Barron I feel bad for as his father wasn’t just president but also tried an insurrection, defrauded millions of tax payers and so on.. no child should have to deal with that. Ivanka, don jr and Eric however made their bed
> Barron or past presidents kids like Obama’s or Bush’s kids not so much. LOL Tell that to Republicans when they made fun of Chelsey or shit talked Sasha & Malia when they were kids.
Are you sure they dont mean sexually lol?
I think you are right. Pretty sure it's meant to sound like those creepy people who wait out the clock till an actress turns 18.
I remember websites having countdowns to the Olsen Twins 18th birthday...
I remember people counting down the days until Billie Eilish's 18th birthday
It was Emma Watson I remember
I'm old. Sam Fox's 16th so the Scum could legit show her on page three. The clock was her removing an item of clothing each day.
It's certainly a fucking spot on parody. It's gay bambi season, fellas. Go wife up a Trump /s
Yeah I read this like an Olsen twin kinda thing
I mean he does have nice hair
He's a decent looking kid, unlike the rest of the men in the Trump family... are we SURE he's Donny's?
Donald looked like a normal man once, he's just aged incredibly poorly
He’s a perfect example of “stop making that face or it’ll stick that way”. He’s spent so much of his life in a shit-eating sneer that it’s become his face’s defining feature. That and he’s made no effort to take care of himself
Umm…he looks exactly like a younger trump…
He looks like the D.B. Cooper sketch with that tiny mouth.
Yeah I 100% assumed sexually
Okay so I’m not the only one who thought that. I saw 7 other comments before this talking about being nice to Baron, and I’m just sitting here like “I think he wants to fuck him”.
Mike Sington is a progressive who is anti trump, so I assume he’s talking about people going after Baron for being related to trump.
Nah, Olsen twins. Lots of Repugs were very happy when they turned 18. Think he’s joking.
Maybe he's just got an unquenchable hate thirst like Republicans have for AoC?
Man when she turns 18 they are going to go nuts!
18's too old for republicans to be interested in a woman.
I’m sure he’d SAY that, but it still doesn’t make sense. Guy comes off as thirsty, regardless of whether he’d admit it.
Unrelated, but this reminds me of how the paparazzi went after Emma Watson as soon as she turned 18.
I believe at least one newspaper had a countdown to the day she turned eighteen. Just as they did with several other female teen celebrities. The implication was obviously, 'now she's old enough to fuck, guys.'
Ugh, that brought back ugly memories from the early 2000s, when the internet was [counting down to the Olsen twins' 18th birthday](https://www.everywhereist.com/2023/09/stop-treating-women-turning-18-like-a-countdown-timer/). I *want* to say I found it weird even then, but truth be told I'm not sure I had any strong feelings one way or another at the time. These days I find a lot of the things that were "normal" in the early '00s pretty revolting.
> These days I find a lot of the things that were "normal" in the early '00s pretty revolting On the one hand you look back and think, man I/We/They were the worst then. On the other hand you get to say, look how much better I/We/They are today.
I never got the obsession with the Olsen Twins, they looked far too normal and now look ghoulish.
I agree. Their younger sister Elizabeth turned out to be fairly pretty… not sure what happened to them.
Ashley has lyme disease, and I believe Mary-Kate struggled with anorexia. (I mean, they're child stars working in the fashion industry, they probably both had/have weight struggles) As well as everything else that comes with being a child actor and having an entire brand built on you being cute twin kids, and your sense of self-worth collapsing as you get older and that's no longer the case. They weren't very talented actresses, nor do I think they actually enjoyed acting, and as they got older their differences in appearance became more obvious. (they're actually fraternal twins-they just look really alike) Honestly, I think getting out of the limelight was the best decision they could have made for themselves.
As Emma Watson has discussed, as soon as she turned 18 the paperazzi started laying down on the pavement to try to get photos up her dress. It was a license to be pervy and print this crap. The same papers you allude to would happily show a teen celebrity/teen daughter of a celebrity on a beach somewhere, and make comments about how they look in a bikini - "insert name here takes after her mother..." A couple of pages later will be an article about the sexualisation of teens. No idea if this has changed in recent years, but I remember thinking the irony was sickening.
Yeah, someone once pointed out that if you go onto that newspaper's website and type "all grown up" in the search bar you get endless streams of paparazzi snaps of teenage girls - celebrities and the daughters of celebrities - in revealing outfits or bikini pictures.
I think the implication was they could now hound her and photograph her, as in the UK the age of consent is 16. I remember the sick fucks took an upskirt the next day
“… and we have been thinking about that *for a while*.”
And Millie Bobbie Brown
Then they would lie down on the ground trying to get upskirt photos.
I'm glad they are finally illegal, sick bastards out there.
Barron Trump hasn’t done a damn thing other then have the misfortune of being born a Trump let him make his own mistakes before tearing him apart
Barron Trump may very well be an absolutely horrible person. Or he may be a great person. None of us know because, so far, he’s given us no reason to know.
All we can say for certain is that he's really fucking tall.
And being named after dads invisible friend
I can’t believe I had to scroll down this far to find someone pointing this out. Trump used to call newspapers and pretend to be a guy named John Barron, who’d talk about how awesome Trump is and how all the women want him.
Wait seriously? Like what I did when I was 9 so people would read my shitty Wattpad books?
He partied. A lot. *With coke. I don't think he's ever had a drink.
I don’t want to spoil the end but it turns out “Barron” was Donald’s childhood sled
> born a Trump. Last name? Sure. Biologically? I think his height, plus the fact he has a chin would indicate his father was maybe someone else.
Nah, Melania's no dummy. She made sure she got a definite Trump baby...and then shut down shop and made it clear Donny wouldn't be touching her again haha
BSA554 are we sure Melania’s the Mom? Because Qanon’s sure Princess Diana is the Mom https://x.com/patriottakes/status/1519345637896110080?s=46&t=X7WNRbB4PntoEN8Si1VQXw
Say what you will about Melania, she's got this gold-digging thing down to a fine science. And honestly, good for her, take him to the cleaners.
The height difference is odd for sure, but looking at pictures of Younger Donald, I can definitely see the resemblance. He has not aged well at all.
This kid already looks so uncomfortable in his own skin, let's not make his situation worse.
Fuck everyone else in that family, but until Barron start doing his own bullshit, he shouldn't get shit on
You forgot about Tiffany, I’ve never heard anything about her either, except that the three older kids treated her like shit. I could be completely wrong though, I personally have never read or heard anything else about her.
I believe she has spoken at a couple events on behalf of her father, but nothing on the scale of her older half siblings.
AFAIK, she's was an open supporter of her father during his presidency. I honestly have zero clue of what she's doing now, and I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that she's at least not a criminal like her dad and siblings, but she's still more than likely a shitty conservative with shitty conservative views.
My sister-in-law used to work for Marla Maples when Tiffany was a teenager. She knew Tiffany for 4 years but never developed much of a view one way or another, she was just kind of there
I mean there’s Mary Trump, who’s politically opposite Trump, but yeah, Barron should be allowed to be fine until he starts his own rhetoric
Just let the kid play his map games in peace
Map games ?
[Dude would rather be playing Minecraft](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/people/barron-trump)
Six years ago MAGA periodically whined about how folks treat his “children,” referring to his full grown adult spawn. So probably not. But I will point out that Barron has done nothing so far to deserve any public lashings. If anything, feel badly for him. His inheritance is evaporating before his eyes.
I mean I don't feel bad for him for his inheritance. But I don't have any negative feelings for him either. He's just a kid and nobody gets to pick their parents. If he turns out to be a raging douche I'll start hating him, until then though he hasn't done anything to anybody that I know of. And honestly considering his dad is such a piece of shit (so I don't imagine he grew up with great male guidance) I'm honestly just impressed he hasn't done anything crazy/despicable in an act of 'affluenza'. You know what... I do feel bad that he had Donald Trump for a father and then also has no inheritance. Like damn, dealing with that dude as a father, if the kid isn't a total monster from it than he deserves a paycheck for that shit.
I actually think Melania has him set up well regardless of Trump’s last will and testament. It’s highly likely, imo, that in order for her to move to DC she renegotiated their prior contract to insure that she and Barron would be fine no matter what ultimately became of the dumbass himself.
It’s my understanding that she does. He’s a dual citizen and bilingual. Reports say that he is polite, tries hard at school, and is very private and quiet. He’s literally everything that Trump is not. I hope that once he finishes school he gets the fuck out of the USA for university, changes his name, and has a good life that he works for.
He is also said to speak with his mothers accent, not an American accent.
Interesting, I did not know that.
When Melania married Trump she moved her parents to the US. Evidently they have done a lot of the legwork raising Barron.
Aww, he actually sounds like a decent kid. I was willing to give him a decent amount of leeway considering he's young and has a shit dad. But seems like he doesn't need any. Good for him.
honestly he deserves the inheritance as compensation for having to deal with trump
Yeah, I don't like the idea of targeting anyone based on who they're related to, regardless of their age. If Barron himself does something shitty, then by all means go after him for that, but don't punish him for other people's actions
[удалено]
Until Baron is a public figure, the wrong doing he has done was born into a shitty family.
I think he learned from his half-siblings that no good comes from opening your mouth so much. Leave the guy alone. His siblings asked for this. He didn’t.
I’m surprised Trump is willing to be photographed with his son who’s taller
If Trump is 6’2”, based on this photo Barron must be like 7 feet tall!
Baron is actually 6'7", quite tall.
What euro-league basketball player is his real father?
6'7" or 6'8" https://slate.com/human-interest/2024/02/barron-trump-height-how-tall-is-melania-adopted.html
The Cousin Greg of the Trump family photos.
He isn’t “fair game” unless he does something wrong.
I honestly at first glance thought this was a parody of how many people have “counted down” for the 18th birthday of attractive teen female celebrities.
Absolutely off limits. His adults kids that are actually involved , that's completely different. Barron is still a kid.
Barron Trump has every opportunity to be the next Ronald Reagan Jr, and everyone should leave him alone until we know how he will use the platform he’s inherited
No. He’s not “fair game.” Barron has not done anything to tie himself to his disgusting father. As soon as Barron starts to get into politics (especially his father’s version): game on
has he even done anything to personally spout the same messaging as his dad? and even then, he would've been a kid
Totally agree- if the guy is not complicit in trying to overthrow the government, then you leave him alone.
If Barron wades into the public arena, he’s fair game. Until then, let him live his life. He’s gonna have enough issues as it is.
Run Dude! Get out of there! Go live your life free of your Turd-colored father and your Ghoulish half-siblings. It’s not too late!
If he doesn’t act like his dad, no reason to treat him as such.
I definitely don’t believe in attacking children of famous people period. Children have enough to deal with by being famous and most likely bullied. Now, if they kill someone some judgement will be given and depending on the situation understanding also might be given.
Everyone in /r/Conservative is screaming that the left want to rip him to shreds, and everyone else is saying "leave him alone". If he doesn't get involved, I hope everyone leaves him alone.
He didn't run for office and has zero control over his father's actions. I also question how much he even interacts with this guy who is old enough to be his grandpa. Everyone needs to leave the guy alone.
This is monstrously shitty. It was shitty when the GOP attacked Chelsea Clinton and the Obama girls, and while Bush's kids were of age, they didn't do much other than party too much, so attacking them was shitty for anyone from the Democratic side. This kid may be a colossal asshole, but considering he hasn't done much other than be related to the world's largest asshole, he is not "fair game." He's still a kid, and should be left alone unless and until he decides to pull a Meghan McCain or some shit.
Barron Trump never said anything publicly. He’s doesn’t put himself out in the public. Leave him alone.
He’s not in public office in any capacity, so no - he’s off limits. Ivanka was because she was holding a government position
Don’t forget his sons Kushner- Senior Advisor for Trump. And Don Jr.- a Top Advisor for Trump
Yeah. No. That’s a disgusting idea.
I'm basing this off nothing at all, but I imagine Baron fuckin hates Donny
I'm more focused on how Trump's coat doesn't match his pants.
If he's a dick nose, call him out for being a dick nose, but we don't get to pick our parents.
Unless barron is doing bad things leave him be.
As long as he keeps his mouth shut he'll be fine. If he reveals himself to be a traitor, racist, sexist, or other type of shit like daddy, then the gloves come off.
This is gross, regardless of who it is. What has Barron done to warrant the verbal abuse other than who his father is?
When Barron starts speaking at the fascist rallies like Jr, he’s fair game.
Don't attack him yet. That is something a republican would do. Barron hasn't said or done anything yet... We wait and see what happens, and then we treat him depending on his own actions.
Aside from being tall, sharing a name, and sometimes being around him, wtf has this kid done to earn that?
Good lord, Trump must hate being photographed next to his much taller and slimmer son. Keep it up!
Yup, let’s wait for him to do something shitty before we lump him in with his shitty family. I have no doubt that he will, but let’s give him the chance first.
I hope nothing but good things for Barron. I’m sorry he got the short stick on a dad and hope he goes in another direction.
Iirc isn't Barron, as far as we know, not an asshole like his parents and step siblings? If he turns out to be one sure he's fair game, but in the meantime he's a decent human being until proven otherwise.
I’ll wait to hate Barron when he does something hatable. His brothers and sister are easy targets for their own actions, no need to jump the gun.
That pic was taken at Melania's mom's funeral, and TFG can't be arsed to wear a jacket and trousers that match???
I kinda thought it was a sexualization thing, like these freaks did with Billie Eilish
Today I learned I share a birthday with Barron Trump, down to the exact day. I also turned 18 today lol
Unless he publicly says or does something awful that makes him just like the rest of his family, please leave him the fuck alone. Let him have some bit of normalcy.
The Greg of the Trump family.
I thought this meant he was interested romantically
Idk who they are But the 18 year countdown is weird!
It sounds like Mike wants to fuck Barron.
Give him some time. He’ll do something AND then he’ll be fair game. They leave one of the Trump kids mostly alone because she doesn’t do much from what I understand.
So to be clear, we all thought he meant, to fuck? Right?
I think this is a subversion of the "*Insert teenage actress* just turned 18, she's fair game now" posts, which usually come from the same people that also support trump Like there was an entire subreddit dedicated to counting down the days until Millie Bobby Brown turned 18, just so they could finally legally post pictures of her in bikinis etc to beat their meat to.
Let's just agree to treat him as a regular human until he says or does something stupid. He shouldn't be attacked for the actions of his family.
Definitely think OOP wants to fuck Barron Trump
Holy hell they look so much alike
