I feel for barron trump dammit I'd take the boy fishing if I could

[TEB]

As a father I am thinking you trump are a ass but dammit you are at the World Series and you did not take your son. Ok I’m at work half hour until quitting time. And I saw that trump took scalise and gaetz to game 5 but not his boy.

And you know as parent I’m thinking that is so fucked up. I think Barron probably has no friends his age and I seriously doubt if his father ever does anything with him he is probably a very lonely young man.

[madaboutharry]

1. He might have friends.

He is on the soccer team at his school. He may find some fulfillment there.

I agree that Trump is the worst father.

[Joe941]

13. Haha. Nope he does not have friends - very unlikely.

[cwydro]

18. So he plays soccer, but none of his teammates are his friends.

And you know this how?

[USALiberal]

29. You know this how??? Nt

[CommonSenseMom]

2. Barron might not have wanted to go

I raised three boys. The kid's not stupid. He goes to school in the D.C. area. He probably didn't want to go with his parents to the game. As a mom, I'm glad he wasn't there to see his dad booed so enthusiastically. Don't misunderstand me, Dolt 45 deserves to be booed until the end of time, but Barron doesn't need to see that.

He's probably soooo screwed up in the head already. He likely is very lonely, too. I hope he bonds with Tiffany as he gets older. She can help him through some of it, I think.

[TEB]

3. I agree

[BlueMTexpat]

10. I concur wholeheartedly.

I have two grandsons (9 & 11) who go to school in the DC area - although NOT at Barron's school.

All these kids are in touch with everything ... and they talk among themselves much more than we who are older suspect. I had lots of interesting conversations with them and their friends, many of whom stayed over while I was visiting (the big attractions were the trampoline and Minecraft, LOL). Some of them are much more clued into what is happening in our country - and the world - than some of us here at DU are.

Remember also that DC literally and enthusiastically HATES everything Trump!

The best thing for Barron is for him to stay FAR, FAR away from the piece of excrement who is his father.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. Barron is probably the sanest one of the whole gang, ... because he's not a gang member

After all, he didn't marry tRump. He's not on stage gushing like Ivanka about tRump is the best president for women. He's not re-tweeting alt-nazi memes.

[atreides1]

33. Not a member, yet!!!

I don't think that Don Jr, Ivanka, or Eric started out as members of the gang either, it just took years of manipulation by Daddy Dearest, to get them to become charter members...Tiffany was kept out of that toxic environment, mainly because her mother kept her out of it!

But every so often Tiffany will allow herself to be drawn to her father, like an insect is drawn to those bug zappers...which makes her a part time member

Unless Melania keeps Barron away...he'll more then likely end up like his older siblings...a member of the gang!!!

[lostnfound]

30. Had the same thought. He does not need to see or experience that. Nt

[Happy Hoosier]

36. Actually, I'd argue that he DOES need to see that.

He's at an age where he needs to see his father as the world see him. Otherwise, he'll just be another Don Jr. in the making.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

4. TEB..that's the difference between a father...

and a sperm donor.

[TEB]

5. So true and so to the point

[Ilsa]

6. Barron could have taken a friend with him for company

in the suite. Sure, maybe he had no interest.

[YOHABLO]

7. He may have asked him if he wanted to go and he said no. Maybe he's not all that into baseball.

or fishing.

[LuvNewcastle]

35. Baseball sucks. A game lasts forever.

When I was his age, if my dad had asked me if I wanted to go, I would've said no. I wouldn't have cared if it was the World Series, it still would have been boring baseball. I've never understood what people get out of watching those games. Except the drinking part. I understand that.

[FM123]

8. There may be many good reasons Barron wasn't there.....

But the most obvious one is that trump is a horrible father who has never practiced the parental arts in a meaningful or loving way.

[samnsara]

9. you are a MUCH better father than he is!!

[avebury]

11. As much as a son might love going to a world series game,

it is possible that his mother was smart enough to know what might happen and keep him away. Regardless of what people think of her, I do think that she has been a good mother to her son and try to protect him as much as she can.

[llmart]

26. I have a serious question and don't take this wrong but...

I've read this meme of how Melania is so protective of her son and such a good mother to him and I have no idea why people think this is true. I admit that I don't read any more than I have to about this ugly family, so maybe I've missed any in-depth articles that talk about her and how she parents.

I can't seem to wrap my mind around her being such a wonderful mother and then wearing a "I Really Don't Care, Do U?" coat to visit caged children.

[avebury]

28. Melania knows exactly what kind of man Trump is and she manages to keep her son

out of the limelight has much as possible. He if barely a blip on the radar in comparison to the amount of coverage, the Kennedy kids, Johnson kids, Nixon kids, Amy Carter, Chelsea Clinton, the Bush twins, the Obama daughters and the three oldest Trump spawn have received.

Actually both Tiffany and Baron have kept to the down low and both may survive the relationship to Dad and the oldest three kids.

[Farmer-Rick]

34. I know, I wondered how she got this reputation of being a good Mom too

I have seen no evidence of it. If anyone has evidence of it, I would really like to see it.

She did manage to keep him out of the limelight but the filthy rich do that all the time. More for themselves, so they get the attention, so they can manage their image easier. Keeping their kids hidden from publicity makes their image appear more macho or younger and available. It's not done to benefit the child though sometimes that is a side affect.

I have my doubts about her mothering skills. She always seems to me to be detached and distant. But I'm willing to be proven wrong.

[llmart]

43. I agree with you.

I just don't picture her as the doting/loving mother type. Now, throw Trudeau in the mix and she brings out all of her "charms".

[milestogo]

12. He may think fish simply appear on one's dinner plate.

[Ohiogal]

14. Sadly,

He's probably better off not having any contact with that POS sperm donor

Poor kid really drew the short straw in that dept.

Such a shame he'll never know what it's like to have a father who cares about him.

[hlthe2b]

15. There has been quite a bit of reporting that he & Melania live with her parents in Maryland

rather than the WH. It is possible he is close(r) with his grandparents, about whom I don't know a lot except they obviously benefitted from "chain migration."

That said, given I have NEVER seen any suggestion that Trump sons Eric or Don Jr. have ever spent time with Barron, I'd bet he is every much the outsider as Tiffany is. Maybe by choice.

[brewens]

16. Get him a dog too. Trump probably can't because all dogs instinctively hate him. n/t

[3Hotdogs]

17. There was the story, reported by one of Don Jr.'s college roomates.

Sr. was taking Jr. to a Yankee game. Jr. comes out of the room in casual clothes.

Sr. smacked him in the face and told him to get dressed, properly.

Jr. goes back in and returns with a shirt, jacket and tie.


Maybe Baron was happier staying home.

[safeinOhio]

19. I went to a military school back in the

60s like trump. Many of the wealthy kids were dumped at the school. Their parents never visited or went to their kids games or other events. I’d bet his parents were like those. Now he is treating his kid the same way. Nothing to do him.

[kacekwl]

20. Hopefully his mother has

a real man to mentor him. I kinda doubt it though.

[Vinca]

21. Maybe Barron doesn't want to be seen with him. I sure as hell wouldn't.

[Poiuyt]

42. I've heard that trump doesn't want to be seen with Barron because Barron is taller

than he is now.

[dewsgirl]

22. One of my followers brought this up last night, and this morning

I literally had 50 notifications of bots and Magat's jumping all over him, just for saying his best times as a teen was going to ball games with his dad.

[AllyCat]

27. ????

It appears you are copying or paraphrasing another person’s post. What is your point?

[former9thward]

25. As a parent I think speculating on other people's children is fucked up.

What if we looked at everything in your children's life?

[MaryMagdaline]

31. I wouldn't take him where his father would get booed

Unless he was prepared to handle it

[Johnny2X2X]

32. He'll turn out like all the others

He's a kid, so no reason to rip on him, but he's a Trump, he'll end up a sociopathic monster like everyone of his half siblings and father.

His father already mind fucked him with that puppy lie. If you don't know the story, he came home for Barron's birthday one year and told him he got him a puppy, let Barron be excited all day and then told him, "Barron, I didn't get you a puppy, I just wanted to teach you a lesson that life isn't fair."

[panader0]

37. You're a good man TEB

[SlogginThroughIt]

38. Barron gets a pass until he is 18

Barron gets a pass until he is 18. After that what he chooses to do politically is completely ready for public debate.

[Thekaspervote]

39. If he's smart he knows and wouldn't want to be seen with the arsss!

[RamblingRose]

40. People have speculated that Barron is autistic or "on the spectrum" in which case he might have a

hard time dealing with a lot of the external stimulation that comes with going to a game (noise, crowds,...). Even if he sits in a private box the extra security detail to get in the stadium would be a lot for someone with autism.

Just a thought.

His father is still an a*#hole.

[gibraltar72]

41. But he has MaMa

slathering him with 150 dollar skin lotion.
