I wouldn’t expect the son of a sociopath to be terribly well-adjusted.
TWO sociopaths.
I know a kid who went to his last school. He said Barron was nice and well liked. He’s 18 so there’s little chance he isn’t having a rough time adjusting to adulthood especially considering being Trump’s son. Weird subject for a story though
This is shit journalism. Yeah, his name is Trump so he’s probably an asshole, but he’s living his life, which has no impact on your life or mine. He’s a private citizen, and his alleged assholery is not a public matter.
I used to believe in the whole private citizen but then seeing News really blew it up like “Obama’s daughters eat provolone cheese instead of American cheese!”.
What? His ‘living life’ that’s ‘not a public matter’ includes standing behind the president of the United States as he’s sworn in. He deserves the utmost public scrutiny, especially considering three of trumps other children already take an active role in his presidency. They meet world leaders, but you just want to avoid looking at whatever sketchy shit this one might be up to. He had the option to avoid the public and decided to be another gremlin like his clown ass brothers.
Next time don’t get on the stage if you don’t want the limelight.
You’re telling me your parents never dragged you around to stupid shit and expected you to pretend you weren’t pissed about being there?
Not at 18.
They did. They were also terrible and I moved out at 17.
Barron’s parents are without a doubt worse, he was 18 at the 2025 inauguration, and you still want to describe the situation as if he’s a small child getting dragged around by his legal guardians. He’s a little fascist under daddy fascists wing.
Rich parents exert a huge amount of control over their children via financial manipulation.
There’s been essentially no reporting on him, so where are you getting this “fascist” accusation from?
On campus, nobody really knows what’s up with that guy, other than that he’s not like any of the other students. “He’s sort of like an oddity on campus,” says Kaya Walker, the president of the NYU Republicans. “He goes to class, he goes home.”
That seems like a pretty kind assessment for what must be a super weird experience for everyone else on campus. A constant Secret Service presence seems like it must disrupt the other students’ lives, as well as the professors at the school. In fact, Walker quoted one of her own professors as saying “he doesn’t really belong here.”
I hope that Kaya takes this opportunity to open her damn eyes.
Not surprised this happened, though.
To be fair no one should be talking to the press about students going to school who haven’t done anything to be worthy of press attention.
True enough, yet here we are
She won’t.
Poor kid, he’s only 18 still, that’s gotta be a really tough way to grow up.
It didn’t help my kids growing up to have Trump in the Whitehouse either.
He is pretty rich kid, with close to zero possible problems in the future, and potential to become new US god-king after trump. Not that bad of a life.
On the one hand, you’re right.
But also, there’s a chance that Barron opens his eyes and sees how sheltered he is from everything, and that his only friends are people slightly less rich, and much older, than he is.
I know it’s not likely, so far all the trump progeny have been less useful than human shit, but I think there’s still a chance that Barron gets depressed because he “has it all” and can’t even play basketball with a potential new friend his own age.
ETA: damn, I guess Lemmy thinks a child should always pay for the sins of their father, huh?
You do have a point that he can one day change his life and become a monk. but.
It’s not that child should pay for the sins of a father it’s more that he is: not a child - 18 is considered adult almost everywhere, not a victim by any metric imaginable, is from extremely priveleged background. Why would you or anyone should feel pity for him when he is doing great actually?
I said nothing about taking pity on him, and definitely didn’t take it anywhere near becoming a monk. I didn’t even claim Barron would be a good person if he deviated from his father’s bullshit, I’m just putting out food for thought that he may have the potential to deviate.
And yea, laws consider him an adult at 18, but the body and brain are not finished developing.
Any way, my edited point was more about immediately suppressing an opinion that isn’t even all that controversial or impossible to occur. It’s reddit behavior, I said something incongruent with the hivemind, therefor it must not be discussed. If it was misinformation or just a straight up lie, then I get it. But that isn’t so.
Like I mentioned in the post, considering his brothers it’s not likely he will make a change, any way. However, he does have a different mom than the others, and growing up with a much different type of publicity. I have two half-siblings (we share a mom, diff dads). Just because we’re related doesn’t mean we have the exact same beliefs, or comprehend our parents’ words in the same way. My siblings live for money, I live in a forest and don’t talk to them at all.
Lemmy is worse when it comes to opinions that challenge the general consensus, that’s for sure. It comes from being really small even in absolute numbers, and community being separated at least between two big-ish camps, and people from both of these camps holding more or less homogenous views.
I knew Rodger Stone’s kid in high school. I never knew who his dad was at the time but his son was a fantastic guy. We aren’t our parents.
I think a child, who is not a child, he’s an adult, who has already been accused of sexual and animal abuse, is likely to be even worse than his father.
Yeah try finding a decent source that runs that story. It’s unlikely to be true.
What decent sources are left in the U.S.? Every mainstream media outlet kowtows to Trump. Do you think any of them would risk running a negative story about his son while he’s threatening to throw him in prison?
Edit: always check the modlogs…
This ran before the elections. It was a trash story then.
Why are you bringing modlogs into this? Im banned because I refuse to blame all the Jews of the world for the crimes of the IDF.
What kind of fucking loser are you that you need to do this? Get off lemmy for a while and get that job you need to find.

If you have something concrete to back that up, then I’m with you. I am not aware of this.
Nothing concrete, but like I said to the other person, no mainstream news organization would touch a story like that.
But then you gave me an article from one of the most left-wing confirmation-bias writers I’ve ever seen.
I will continue to search for it on my own.
One of the most horrific things I’ve seen is people on their death-beds, when they knew there was no more turning back and they had to say good-bye to everyone and everything they’d loved in this world.
From the article:
Of course he’s famous and sought-after — he’s a Trump. People would book Eric as a clown at their kid’s birthday party if he wasn’t so afraid of being his true self. Everyone wants to be close to a famous person, and people who want to curry favor with Donald Trump will say any manner of sweet nothings about his children.
ETA: although I chuckled at the above statement, this author is biased as shit. All his articles are nothing but Reddit-style fan service and exhaustively regurgitated comments. He even perpetuates the couch fucker lie in other articles. Everything reads like he’s trying to make the best joke in order to get his karma numbers up.
Even though I lean left, I wouldn’t trust anything this guy has to say and would do extra research before I took it seriously.

He could be the next Pee Wee Herman!
Don’t do my boy Paul Reubans that way…
These have no lives.
He’s basically Tate Langdon without the charisma
