He’s getting bored with torturing animals and he’s out of classmates.

Jesus just needs to take him out to a nice meal and give him a little road head and he's on lock.

C'mon Jesus you can do it!

It usually takes a bit more than that to bribe a Trump. Admittedly, not much more.

osanna@lemmy.vg · 49 pts · 65d (18 replies)

He’s a trump. So it’s a given.

Ioughttamow@fedia.io · 42 pts · 65d (7 replies)

Yeah, but imagine an emergency broadcast pops up and in the grainy darkness you see trump writhing nailed to a cross. A wild eyed barron, with a bloody chi ro drawn on his forehead and flagellation scars, announces the creation of heaven on earth. He then carves out ding don’s heart, takes a bite, and then casts what’s left into a cleansing flame

And then Indiana Jones steals some ancient glowing stones ...

then he gets caught and RFK Jr. makes him drink "the green blood", a mix of road kill racoon blood, whole milk, and the water from the reflecting pool.

As someone with a less than honorable father myself, I hope that the next generation can pull away from doing wrong, evil things. I know that I've tried to! There's still hope for Barron, even if his father has set a poor example.

NekoKoneko@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 65d (2 replies)

I think that ship has left the dock, and already hit an iceberg. Reports are that Barron is a fan of Andrew Tate and was part of the reason he was released.

otterpop@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 65d (1 reply)

Maybe. He's still young though and has an entire lifetime ahead of him to repent and change, it's at least worth hoping for.

DJT already helped him grift his first few hundred million, he had no chance of having a normal life.

only MARY trump seem to have escape from the trumps.

Doom@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 65d

I don't believe in sins of the parent transferring to their kids (or other relatives). It's not his father that will be his biggest moral stumbling block. Like all rich nepo babies having unlimited wealth and power shoved up his ass the day he sprung into existence is likely to be the reason he'll be a total piece of shit. Just like the rest of them.

yakko@feddit.uk · 4 pts · 65d

In the absolute Pollyanna sense of "there is always hope, nobody's beyond redemption, everyone is good deep down, everything that rhymes is true" sense I actually agree, but the other part of me that looks at any given rich guy and says "he probably deserves to die" is really looking like he's got something to say

BestBouclettes@jlai.lu · 4 pts · 65d (2 replies)

Is it a given that he was sexually abused by his father and his friends too ? I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.

I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 65d

No, Trump had Ivanka for that.

Well both of his parents are massive slabs of rotting cancer sores so it's probably just genetics.

Does anyone in this family have any redeeming qualities?

Trump's dad has since 1999

Naz@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 65d (1 reply)

Arguably that's what began this whole debacle.

Narcissism has a lot of root causes, but "never being good enough for Dad" is a pretty common one.

I remember during the comedy roast of Trump, Seth McFarlane began with something like: "We're here to honor a great man and businessman (pause) that would be Fred Trump, Donald Trump's father".

He looked like he wanted to kill him, and then announced a presidential run for 2016 at the end of the show/episode.

Jesus was pretty specific about how a person should become his follower. He said that you have to give away all of your possessions to follow him.

90% of me doesn't give a shit. But I admit there's 10% of me that wonders if he inherited the "dumbest goddam student I ever had" gene.

I wonder what people call him? Surely nobody says Barron. What a stupid fucking name. I want to believe he goes by the name Barry, or Baz.

Robert Barron

neclimdul@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 65d

Many people don't know this but the "t" in Robert is silent when followed by Barron. It's comes from an old American tradition of redistributing wealth to the most wealthy.

him and melania are very tight, they probably plan on taking as much of his estate after he passes before trumps other children has a chance. theres probably going to be a nasty fight between melania and rest of the trump ilk.

I'd assume that he's under a lot of pressure from his dad who will happily kill people who don't do what he wants.

Or, from one neurodivergent to another, you're surviving the only way you know how.

Jesus and Satan talking about Baron.

Satan: His souls is mine, I will roast him for a millennia before I have him drawn and quartered to be devoured by my demons.

Jesus: Wait, who are we talking about again. Baron!? Oh hell no we don't want him you can have his ass.

Satan: Oh shit I thought we were talking about someone else. I don't want that little shit either.
