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.

(15,124 posts)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.

(57,512 posts)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.

Hes 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}

(22,103 posts)If Melania is almost 6 ft, he looks taller than 6'7". Too bad it looks like he inherited his father's physique.

(13,421 posts)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.
