Barron "The Omen" Trump is now fair game

[brettdale]

Hes going to be part of the Florida GOP delegate at the convention.

[dalton99a]

1. Absolutely.

[applegrove]

2. I'm tired already of seeing his picture. Why is everyone on Threads talking about Barron?

Was there no other news?

[brettdale]

3. cuz, hes going to be worse than his old man

Link to tweet

[eShirl]

29. I can "see" both parents in his face.

How unfortunate.

[Mossfern]

45. His ears

are crooked on his face - one obviously higher than the other. Not a character flaw, but something I noticed right away.

[Omnipresent]

57. If he gets any taller...

He’s going to have to wear a beacon on his head, so aircraft can stay clear.

[Talitha]

66. "I can "see" both parents in his face."

Looks like he's got Dump's nose and fish-mouth, and the sex worker's squinty eyes.

[GoCubsGo]

82. Yep, and not just the physical attributes.

The same arrogant, sociopathic glare both his parents have, and Mom's soulless non-smile. Yikes.

[LiberalFighter]

65. Bad seed of two bad seeds

[dalton99a]

4. They'll make him chairman of the Florida Republican Party

Just watch

[Doodley]

5. I thought of Damien from the Omen as soon as I saw him. I don't know if it is because he's Trump's son, or

if it's that soulless, psychopathic stare.

[liberalmediaaddict]

10. Except Damien wasn't 7 feet tall

and had more of a personality

[Doodley]

13. And he couldn;t say, "Daddy, Daddy, please press that nuclear button."

[Wuddles440]

38. I had the same reaction...

after seeing that photo. Spawn of Lucifer.

[Doodley]

73. Blood chilling. A preview of the end of the world.

[Aviation Pro]

6. He's a byproduct of bad semen

Kids born to men older than 60 are susceptible to bottom of the barrrel DNA.

Also, he’s got that Rittenhouse look.

[mercuryblues]

27. The top of the barrel wasn't

So great either.

[Wonder Why]

67. It wasn't the semen. It was the ship that was at fault.

[Marcuse]

7. It's Florida. Maybe Matt Gaetz could be his mentor and use him for bait.

P.S. Fair game? They don’t even think Ivanka is fair game.

[Skittles]

8. disappointed to hear this

Barron had been the only Trump I actually liked.

[rubbersole]

17. Tiffany seems normal.

Normal enough to avoid tsf's oily stench.

[BigmanPigman]

20. She is also a FL delegate...

"In a family full of politically involved children, Barron Trump, who turned 18 in March, has retained much more of a private life than his older brothers, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., both of whom will also be Florida at-large RNC delegates, along with Trump’s daughter Tiffany".

This family is worse than Don Corleone's (Godfather). They all need to sleep with the fishes.

[Skittles]

28. no

she stinks

[dchill]

21. You just didn't know him!

I pitied him - still do. But I never thought about liking him.

[we can do it]

39. When did he do something likable?

[MustLoveBeagles]

70. Same here

[liberalmediaaddict]

9. I fear where this evil succession scheme is headed

Sounds like the Trumpublican Party is setting up a potential political dynasty.
Trump wins in 2024. Fills his entire administration with his family members.
He's term limited so in 2028 Ivanka runs and wins. Trump stays in the White House around as her "shadow president" until he strokes out or drops dead. And in 2036 Barron takes over.

Total nightmare fuel.

[Irish_Dem]

32. Fascists usually designate their family as heirs to the throne.

The ones who will take over when they die.

[BlueKota]

40. Yup.Look at North Korea!

[CanonRay]

63. Term limited?

Like the rules will mean anything. He's only death limited, like Caligula.

[Marcuse]

79. Baron will have to wait beyond 2036.

[brettdale]

11. why wait till 2036

The rules dont apply to the Trump family.

[FelineOverlord]

12. The only Trump I like is Mary

The rest need to just go away.

[JoseBalow]

14. Little Bored Fauntleroy has big diapers to fill

[dchill]

22. Okay, now - that's very good! 😊

[MOMFUDSKI]

41. You win the thread!

Good stuff

[EYESORE 9001]

16. Howdy!

Just a bookmark.

[EYESORE 9001]

35. That's what I thought

[ShazzieB]

18. My loathing for Trump is deeper than the deepest ocean and wider than the sky.

But I actually agree about Barron. Assuming the worst about someone just because they share DNA with bad people is gross.

[dchill]

23. More like sharing victims' blood.

"He can't help that he's a vampire!"

[SunSeeker]

25. Both of his parents are psychopaths. He never stood a chance at being normal.

They have no doubt irretrievably warped his mind by now. He lives in a bubble. He will never have a chance at snapping out of it. And he may not want to.

[Pototan]

30. Do you think there is even one Trump delegate

to the Republican Convention who's not a piece of shit?

Barron is a Trump delegate. He can refuse and be his own man. If he accepts, he's one of them.

There are a lot of my own family members I don't speak to because of their support for Trump. Do you think Barron deserves a pass from me after accepting a Trump delegate selection?

Fuck him.

[Irish_Dem]

33. He just accepted a political job on his father's behalf.

He is an adult and could have said no.

He is now in play.

[Pototan]

34. I agree

[kskiska]

80. Has he ever spoken one word - any word?

[Pototan]

19. 4 posts

I guess you just couldn't wait to become a Trump apologist.

[DemocraticPatriot]

24. I feel sorry for him--- having to grow up with a moronic criminal perverted psychopathic

con-man who is the most hated man in the world
for a father...

It would be nice if the apple fell a long way from the tree,
but he's probably been in the wrong environment...

I won't hate on him before he's made some awful public statements...

[Aussie105]

26. Barron has yet to show his adult personality.

Has he soaked up his father's and mother's ways of thinking, and feels he needs to carry on that tradition, or is he cut from the same cloth as Mary Trump?

We will know once he opens up and actually says a few sentences.

But the looks of lack of interest and disdain he has shown in public aren't good signs.

[Pototan]

31. If he accepts and attends the Republican Convention

as a delegate for his father, that's says it all for me.

He doesn't have to get involved. But if he takes affirmative actions, like being a delegate or campaigning, he'll be in the same category as Eric and Don Jr. to me.

[former9thward]

50. Which means what?

[Pototan]

51. He is subject to the same criticism

as his half-brothers. Barron will no longer be exempt because of his age. or his neutrality.

And I think there are a lot of others out there that feel the same way.

[former9thward]

53. Ok, what is your criticism of the 18 year old?

[bluesbassman]

69. I'll jump in and take this one.

And I won’t be coy about it. Supporting one’s father, or any relative for that matter, in their quest for political office is generally considered a good thing. The exception is when the politician in question is such a universally agreed upon POS, an insurrectionist, a con artist, a liar, a classified documents thief, a racist, a misogynist, a sexual predator, just to list a few of his deficiencies, then continued support of said miscreant must result in calling into question the moral and ethical foundation of the supporter. How many Kennedy relatives do you see rallying around Bob? The kid got one shot at avoiding the Trump stank. He failed.

[Pototan]

86. Thanks for your reply

I couldn't have said it better myself.

And I can see by your reply recs that there are many here at DU who agree.

[NanaCat]

49. He's a legal adult

Who has chosen to be a political actor to prop up his evil father as soon as he's eligible, with nary a peep of protest. When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time.

For pity's sake, how many hints do you need? I can give you some more:

When he was younger and servants displeased him, he would tell them, 'You're fired!' His trashy mother would send that servant home for the day, rather than punishing the anchor brat. She was the one who revealed he'd done that, and thought it was cute and funny. With that kind of parenting, do you think he learned how to be a decent human being rather than a spoiled brat?

His own family says he's the most like his father of any of the anchor brats. Do you consider that a good sign of what to expect of his personality?

Again: When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

[kskiska]

81. Has he ever shown a child's personality?

[Renew Deal]

36. I heard he didn't always return his library books on time.

What do you have?

[NanaCat]

55. Trying to fire servants who displeased him

As a child. More than once. And send the 'offending' servant home for the day, and deem their spoiled anchor brat cute and funny for what he did, rather than punishing him for being an obnoxious prat.

No matter what our ages, if my brothers or I had been remotely rude to our nanny or to one of the maids my Mum started employing when we were teens, we would have been ground to dust for it. Even my toddler brothers knew better than to tell the nanny she was fired.

Then again, even my narcissistic Mum wasn't so stupid as to be rude to someone helping her out, despite how they were paid to do it and despite how much she was stressed from paying for them when she really couldn't afford it--as if single parents have a choice about it. It really is true that good help is hard to find, so when you do get a winner, the last thing you want to do is alienate them.

[Renew Deal]

74. Link?

[D_Master81]

37. Of course

Of course he’s getting into politics. If your name is trump you’re not losing any election for the next decade in the GOP and those trump children will be able to grift the party for the next 20 years. From a financial aspect it makes sense.

[marble falls]

42. What do we care who goes to the GOP convention? It's a convention that is only going to confirm ...

... what everybody already knows: TFG has taken enough primary wins to be on the first vote. So what? Being a delegate at the convention is more a useless honor: that and a quarter won't even get you a cup of coffee. He's given no interviews, he's made no statements, for all we know Barron hates TFG as much as it seems his mother does. He may be a closet Democrat for all we know.

And then, by the way, he is 18. At his age both Hilary Clinton and I had volunteered for Goldwater. Look how we turned out.

[ShazzieB]

43. I'm with you.

I don't understand all this sudden white hot animosity toward Barron for basically no reason. I guess it must have been there all along and people were just holding it in because of his age. I don't get that, either.

If he does something obnoxious, I won't try and stop anyone from criticizing him, but this delegate thing doesn't even come close to being worthy of that. So far, his worst crime is having been born to the wrong parents. Shaming him for that is just gross.

[MFM008]

85. He will shame himself

There are no honorable trumps.
He can't wait to jump in the water, then look down and see the great whites.

[ShazzieB]

87. And if he does, drag him all you want.

I don't believe in prejudging anyone, even a Trump!

[MistakenLamb]

46. people here really acting like they never did anything dumb or at the behest of a parent they later regretted

fair game 🙄 some people are just as bad as perverts who count down until an under age actress reaches 18

[niyad]

59. Could you explain your last. . .sentence, or whatever it was?

[MistakenLamb]

62. you don't think it's a little disturbing to consider a high schooler "fair game" politically?

for being chosen as a delegate? it’s almost like some have been waiting deleriously 8 years for this. it’s gross.

[niyad]

64. nice evasion. the string of words I referenced still has

not been explained, but do keep trying. I could use the distraction.

[ecstatic]

47. Thanks for the context but

I think people are just curious to know where he stands in all this.

Maybe he'll change his mind later but right now he's supporting the GOP which means he's supporting his dad.

Barron's position is understandable, but I think some people were hoping that he despised his dad, just like some people really want to believe that Melania secretly hates trump and is only there for money or something. It could be that Barron is just trying to secure his inheritance, assuming anything is left.

Personally speaking, I won't apply my own logic to their situation. I will observe and form conclusions based on their actions.

[marble falls]

60. When you know what Barron stands for (he's never said a word about it) please let me know ...

Personally speaking, I won't apply my own logic to their situation. I will observe and form conclusions based on their actions. I just hear heard that sage advice from a good Democrat.

What I observe is an 18 yr old who's never indicated a stand on anything is going to the convention. His sister is going, too. She's been to some TFG's political events and so much as I know, has never taken any political stand she's made public past supporting her father.


Those two voting for dad in the first ballot (does anyone really think they will make the difference) is purely proforma. Trump has aced his primaries and he'll take the nomination in the first ballot, unless something intervenes first, like a conviction or a stroke.


https://www.usa.gov/national-conventions

National conventions

Political parties hold national conventions to select presidential and vice presidential nominees. Learn how the national conventions work.
What happens at a national political convention?

To become the presidential nominee, a candidate typically has to win a majority of delegates. This usually happens through the party's state primaries and caucuses. Learn more about state presidential primaries and caucuses and how delegates are selected.

State delegates go to the national convention to vote to confirm their choice of candidates. But if no candidate gets the majority of a party's delegates during the primaries and caucuses, convention delegates choose the nominee. This happens through additional rounds of voting.

At the convention, the presidential nominee officially announces who will run with them for vice president.



Personally, I will bet that Mitt Romney and Nikki Haley will end up being the ticket.

[ecstatic]

71. ... Mitt Romney and Nikki Haley will end up being the ticket.

That would be insane but my blood pressure would go down significantly. They're dangerous but nowhere near as dangerous as trump.

[Takket]

48. i'd imagine it went something like this......

"Hey! Want to be a delegate for your dad at the convention!"

What's he going to do, say no? Cause a giant uproar in his own life by refusing?

I don't think this says a whole lot about him.

[Hope22]

52. Do youze want me to pay for the college?

Do youze want to stay in the Will? Here’s a what youze gonna do!

[NanaCat]

56. Were you Goldwater's child?

Was he a full-blown fascist who had zero respect for the Constitution and our entire system of government? Did he ever try to overturn an election result? Was he lacking in all human decency?

Old Barry was a lot of things I found distasteful or disagreeable, but none of those things applied to him.

That's the difference?

[marble falls]

61. Do you think no Goldwater went to the Convention, or no Kennedy, or no Johnson?

Are you Goldwater's child? WTF is that supposed to mean?

Screw the GOP. Fuck their convention. Technically TFG already has the votes to take the nod on the first ballot. Two TFG kids will make no difference either way.

[ecstatic]

44. Wow. So he approves of his dad. Interesting...

And noted.

[Chautauquas]

54. I expect

that in the next few years he's going to demonstrate that he's a Trump through and through, just like his creepy brothers and his criminal father. He's stayed behind the scenes so far but he's entering his adult years and my guess is he'll start trash-talking and flinging poo at Democrats, just like dear old dad.

[doc03]

58. Like they say "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree". nt

[BannonsLiver]

68. Thread was going great until the saviors arrived.

[republianmushroom]

72. Yup, fair game "if", he is a Florida GOP delegate at the convention.

[Initech]

75. This is some absolute bullshit.

Can you imagine the fury and uproar coming from dipshit Fox News hosts if Biden did that with Hunter? OMG I'm so sick of this double standard.

[brewens]

76. I hope he turns out to be a tall scrawny Kyle Rittenhouse. I suppose we know nothing about how intelligent

he is. You couldn't rely on anything that was allowed to be reported about him.

I can just imagine having been raised by crap like that rather than my own parents. If Trumpisms replaced the stuff my dad taught me, I'd be one fucked up piece of shit.!

[Jilly_in_VA]

84. Actually

from what little we know, he is supposedly rather bright in a scattered kind of way. He is rumored to be on the upper end of the autistic spectrum, but those are just rumors. His big interest is supposedly in the computer field. This would certainly square with the rumors of him being upper-end autistic, but it could just mean he's a computer nerd. He's also said to be socially awkward, but quite a few kids who have sudden growth spurts are, simply because they're physically awkward., and he's rumored to be shy, and that would also go along with the rest of what I've said.

[samnsara]

77. don't they have to know how to talk?

[niyad]

78. Myyyy, how times change. I still vividly remember the last moments

of the 2016 rnc (as well as that disgusting moment where RAPIST-TRAITOR** felt princess sparkle pony up on live tv). Spawn5 was standing directly in front of daddy dearest, who put his hands on the kid's shoulders. The kid jerked out from his hands and stepped forward. Again, only a brief moment at the very end, but very telling, I thought

[TheRickles]

83. Not really relevant here, but how tall is Barron? Are there any official numbers out there?
