I don't know why this is a story. Trump talks about himself in the third person all the time.

When Melanoma was 15, he was interested in her. Not so much now.

Once he's old enough, he should change his name to "John Barron" and drop out of sight.

His way in life will be tough, no matter which route he chooses. But not as tough as the life of those kids his dad put in cages.

Exactly. Melania is a useful object to him, but Barron has no practical use. He probably regards his other sons in much the same way. Ivanka, in the other hand, is a good looking woman who gives him the time of day, so that’s value in TrumpWorld.

You will likely disagree, but that's fine. I'm not one who is bothered by different perspectives.

We Dem's should know better than making fun of a politician's children This is a Fox News and Rush Limbough worthy thing and should not be for us.

Trump mentioned Melania's son in a manner that suggested he didn't remember Barron is his son, too. The Palmer Report comment was about Trump.

Where did you get the idea that anyone made a joke about Barron?

By the way, you can't just ignore Barron as if he doesn't exist. That's silly in the extreme.
