He is the wisest Trump I've heard of

Agreed, but we need to remember the bar for that particular honor is underground.

He has to stand on a porch and stare off into the distance that day

I think it would be hilarious if he went into politics as a staunch socialist

And they live in a filmstudio white house in one continious sitcom and voting is replaced by how many stars you give each episode. A commission of reaction-video-youtubers intetpret the episode to forge the ratings into political policy making

Even Trump's son doesn't have time for him.

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 28 pts · 2y

Not like Trump has time for any of his kids. I guess Barron realizes daddy will never love him. Too bad Eric never did.

A wise Trump!

I believe the person above you is making a reference to the book / film American Psycho.

Ah ok, my bad 😁

Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

You're good, my references are just aging out

I still use that line at least every other month.

JesusSon@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Oh my God, it even has a watermark!

I’m hoping prior commitments are some gaming tournaments and spring break like activities.

Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world · 37 pts · 2y

Or just "staying the hell away from dad's mess"

He's definitely on the spectrum. His mom had to come to his corner. It's obvious he doesn't want anything to do with his shitty dad

ripcord@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 2y (5 replies)

Why does that mean he's on the spectrum?

RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (4 replies)

Autistic.

jwt@programming.dev · 5 pts · 2y

Reading comprehension.

ripcord@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

That isn't an answer to the question I asked

RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

It did before the edit.

ripcord@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

That doesn't make any sense either.

My comment wasn't edited and neither was the one I replied to (at least not after I replied to it)

RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y

I heard his furaffinity commissions page is booked solid for the next 4 years.

Should take it and vote for Biden. Would make for some fun news coverage.

It's way too early to tell. He was brought up in wealth and chances are he's a shitty person purely due to that but hey - he's young and he hasn't had a public persona.

NABDad@lemmy.world · 30 pts · 2y (2 replies)

There's a chance that Melania has instilled in him a deep and neverending hatred of his father. It shouldn't have been too difficult. In an effort to rebel against everything his father represents, he might accidentally become a good person.

frezik@midwest.social · 18 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Maybe. Melania isn't exactly a good role model, either. Hating Donald is the minimum bar for being a decent human being.

Have you ever seen a picture of Barron smiling?

NABDad@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Yeah, but if the hated turns into a complete rejection of everything he stands for, there's a chance.

Num10ck@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y (1 reply)

or maybe its scripted so Barron is the 'rebel' of this media boy band.
