Slip-of-the-tongue reveals Donald Trump doesn't regard Barron Trump as his child.

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/09/his-frontal-lobe-is-melting-donald-trump-labeled-lousy-dad-after-he-says-melania-has-a-son/

During an Oval Office gaggle with the press, Trump was asked about the crackdown on vaping after the government announced that deaths had been linked to the practice.

The president said that he viewed vaping as a source of American jobs before mentioning First Lady Melania Trump, who was sitting beside him.

“That’s how the First Lady got involved,” Trump explained. “She’s got a son — together — that is a beautiful young man and she feels very, very strongly about it.”

The kid is just about as tall as his biological dad now too. tRump wasn't bad looking back in the eighties and nineties, but now? Sheesh. I guess ugly on the inside begins to physically manifest itself at some point, and Donnie Doll Hands is definitely wearing it now. Eric the Lesser sort of resembles Barron in a sort of goofy, dull-witted way.

Of course Trump lusts after Ivanka, that's obvious by any measure.

To allege some years-long, wacko conspiracy theory alleging DJT's new wife was faking a pregnancy complete with an almost naked photo shoot (and then a smotheringly intense motherhood) to cover up a product of her husband's incest is just waaaaaaay to far out into left field.

Occam's razor. That's Melanie's kid.

He's a nice-looking kid who mostly resembles Melania, and he's already a lot taller than Spanky. Could he be the love child of Melania and Justin Trudeau?

didn't even pay attention to his kids when they were younger, what makes Baron any different. He has no use for them unless they give back to him it's always about him.

I hate the fucking thug, esp. how he is treating Bahamians. Total asshole he is. If he believed in climate change and the Paris accord this shit wouldn't be happening.

There wasn’t a transcript and you tempted me to listen. Curses. Mostly on me for succumbing

Holy moly what a jumbled up oral spew of mental diarrhea.

Before I lost consciousness I remember he was saying how much he loved vaping because it was profitable and Melania has a kid who wants to ... well I’m not really sure what came next.

All I know is my head hurts and there was a puddle of drool on my keyboard.

Now I’ll have to explain this dent in my forehead when I get home.

third-person kind of things he says to keep himself out of the discussion, like when he says, "Trump is winning!"

But it is also possible that he doesn't even think about him. I doubt Barron lives there.

He has no idea who the father may be of any of the people he calls children. A DNA analysis would open a very large can of worms so to speak. Especially for the beast slayers. I can imagine an alt life form may have spawned them.

Whatever one thinks of Melanoma, it does seem like she really does love her kid, and that she shelters him from his asshole father and siblings as much as she can. I really do hope that the rumors that he and Melania live with her parents most of the time are true. What little I've seen of Barron, he seems like a sweet kid, in spite of everything. Hope he can stay that way.

Once Chump loses on 11/3/20, Melanoma can/will file for divorce, and Barron can proceed to living The Life of Tiffany where he'll be rarely acknowledged and dragged into the limelight only when beneficial to Chump. Barron will experience immediate resuscitation and enter a life of normalcy, filing a.s.a.p. to remove the name "tRump" from his birth certificate and any other identifying documents.
