People Magazine - Inside the WH Election night 2020. Baron had COVID?

Lots of good details here from Michael Benders book “Frankly, We Did Win This Election” too many for just 4 paragraphs. Baron got COVID? Did we know that?

Melania Trump Didn't Want Election Night Party at the White House, Which Turned into a 'S-------': Book

https://people.com/politics/melania-trump-didnt-want-an-election-night-party-at-the-white-house-book/

Her feelings were confirmed by Timothy Harleth, the White House's chief usher, and her spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham, who warned her about the potential length of the party, per the book. (A current spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment on this account.)

He, his wife and their teenage son, Barron, all got the disease in the fall of 2020.

"Win or lose, there are going to be protests that night," Mrs. Trump's spokeswoman told her, according to the book. "Are we going to end up with a 300-person slumber party at the White House if these people can't get out?"

Trump "repeatedly asked friends if they blamed him for the riots at the Capitol," Bender writes.

I do recall hearing that TFG, TFB (The First Bimbo), and Barron all had it. Only The Orange One was gravely ill, as I remember.

I hope the boy doesn't have any extended repercussions from it.

The picture's taken at a deceptive angle, but other sources note that he's pretty tall. I'm not sure about 6 foot 7.

Newest Trump tower: Barron shows off his 6-foot-7 height in NYC

By Lee BrownJuly 8, 2021 | 11:40am | Updated

He’s the new Trump tower.

Teenage former first son Barron Trump was photographed in the Big Apple this week — towering over his 5-foot-11-inch mom, Melania.

The rarely photographed youngest son of former President Donald Trump is already 6 feet 7 inches tall — even though he only just turned 15.



At 6 feet 7, Barron is already four inches taller than his dad, who is 6 feet 3. {sic}

If Melania is almost 6 ft, he looks taller than 6'7". Too bad it looks like he inherited his father's physique.

I see other resemblances as well. I didn't see it when he was younger, poor kid.

and his love of the huge rallies with thousands of other unmasked fools. And it wasn't just those three in the WH who got it.

I personally feel that the kids need to be left alone by everybody when they are minors and in the Whitehouse. Once they are old enouh to make their own decisions, they can be criticized if it's warranted, but not before. Ivanka and the rest of that vile brood are completely fair game for ridicule and contempt.

I also feel sorry for him because of the family he was born into. Just considering how disgusting all that entire famly is, it's like the poor kid never stood a chance.

It was in the middle of the story. If it got to Baron it must have been a real mess in there.

I have never asked anyone if something was my fault.

I have announced it was my fault on several occasions, but I have never asked....
