The cunt has made the decision to milk his family name. He's not going to be out there contributing to the betterment of life for the common man. Once he can grow a strange beard like his brothers he'll be appearing on fox news preaching the gospel of lord Trump.
He's dead inside.
I mean he JUST turned 18... I'll give Trump that one... plus, I can't remember how old my kid is either... Coming up on 28 here in a few months.
Don’t make excuses for this fuck bag. If his overpaid team of mediocre lawyers can’t do it, why should you?
I can't remember how old my kid is either... Coming up on 28 here in a few months.
Also, since apparently it needs saying, I will not vote for you for President. And that is how ridiculous it is to hold yourself, some random commenter on an Internet message board, to the same standard as to someone who is running for the office of president of the United States.

Yeah, weird how the press jumps on petty shit like this and not stuff like what he's actually planning to do if elected.
The problem with Trump is not that he can't remember one of his kids' age.
Is it harder or easier to remember their age when the birthday was less than two months ago. I feel like the 18th is also one of those birthdays where they emphasize the specific age a lot too.
I know what day and time my daughter was born. She is 27.
My kid and I share the same birthday so as long as I don't forget mine, I'm set.

Unless you have Alzheimer's, that only means you are not involved with your kid. I know exactly how old mine are and when their birthdays are and I'm normally not good with dates. The thing with birthdays is that the dates stay the same so there's no excuse not to remember it.
Personally, I don't remember how the fuck old I am most of the time and I'm quickly approaching 40.
Yep, whenever I need to know my own age I have to quickly calculate in my head to make sure I still have the correct age in my mind.
Amen. It's silly that I have to do math to figure out my own age.
Bruh I lose track of my age regularly and only check in every five to ten years.
My kid was tricky because of the date... I couldn't remember if he was turning 18 on the 19th or 19 on the 18th. It was one of those...
But that was 10 years ago now.
My siblings and I are the closest we've ever been. I forget their ages constantly. I forget my age constantly. I love my parents. I never remember their ages and nearly every year I need to be reminded when their birthdays are. I barely remember my own birthday, usually I don't even care unless my birthday is on a Friday or a weekend. Not everyone is you.
Porque no los dos?

Baron should give up politics and specialize in playing a young Christopher Walken in movies and documentaries.

I feel sorry for Barron, and not just for his first name. He looks so unhappy. I hope he’s relatively normal compared to his siblings, despite them and his dad.
I don’t. He’s going to be a delegate at the Republican Convention. He’s just as much a piece of shit as everyone else in that inbred family.
His mom said he has a prior engagement and can't attend. No, seriously.
No, he's not. They tried to drag him in, but he declined.
I'm not seeing him declining anything here.
I hadn’t heard about this either but apparently it’s true
Lol, what the hell even is this family. It's obvious Donald and Melania don't talk to each other at all if they have to air their disagreements through press releases like this.
Thank for that, I was not aware of his mom’s press release regarding this when I initially posted.
“He does like politics. It’s sort of funny. He will tell me sometimes, ‘Dad, this is what you have to do,'” Trump told Philadelphia's Talk Radio 1210 WPHT radio station. “So anyway, he’s a good guy.”
I will say that this isn’t giving me much faith that Barron isn’t a total piece of shit, unless his advice to his dad is “stop being a fucking traitorous crusty cum stain you old bitch”. I’m 50-50 on it because either way Trump would describe him with the exact same wording.
Let's not assume he's a piece of shit before he shows us he is.
And even if he does some dickish stuff at 18, it's possible to grow, have regrets, learn from mistakes etc.
Not if you share the opinion of everyone here apparently. According to lemmy, an 18 year old fed with a silver spoon and thrust into the limelight is basically pol pot 2.0
God i was a shithead at 18, but eventually i turned into a fairly decent adult. I would like to think that at least. I know the kid has a hell of an uphill battle even if he does have a decent core to him, what with the fame, fortune, and batshit insane family, but if the public opinion treats him like it does here, ill be honest, i would hate the entire world and everyone in it too, just like his old man. Seems like his mom sees that at least. I wish him well and hope he turns out nothing like his father.
I wouldn't trust something happened just bc dozy don said it did. I'd want video proof before I believed him say gravity exists.

He declined:

I wonder if the kid saw the shit show on social media, bucked the Trump trend, and decided to stay the fuck out of the clown show.
I think this is just totally inappropriate to put on any kid.
He's a kid. You are kind-of being a piece of shit for what you are doing right now.
People that didn't grow up in environments where you're surrounded by shitty, bigoted opinions don't understand just how fucking hard it is and how long it takes to deprogram yourself from that shit. Took me longer than 18.
Once he starts personally getting on stage and being a bigoted shitbag, I'm more than fine with putting him on blast. Til then, I'm willing to give the kid at least some of the benefit of the doubt.
Exactly. Shitbirds of a shitfeather flock together.
But until he does so..
If the world boxes him in (and I guarantee the kid feels boxed in), they're force him to become the piece of shit the world expects him to be..
Like, I dont envy this kid one bit, but if you don't allow him an escape hatch..
I really, really don't like this growing trend of refusing to believe that people can change. I was caught on the young, dumb teenage libertarian > far right pipeline fucking hard. If I hadn't had friends that recognized that and (figuratively) knocked some sense into me, I'm not entirely certain I would've changed.
Edit: apparently hit send mid thought, fixed that

I mean, this kid has zero chance for ever having a normal life. I think of those stories of Micheal Jackson renting a supermarket and having his friends and employees walk around so he could just go shopping like a regular person.
Don't think Barron is in media enough for that kind of fame/infamy. So far he's been "quiet". We'll see if that changes now that he's an adult.

I don't think the Trump family can produce a relatively normal person, but hopefully for his sake.
I should say the Donald Trump offspring, not necessarily the whole Trumps.
The one thing I learned about their family is that no one is a normal, upstand person. For example people were having high hopes for Melania to be more human than trump, but she is just like him. Though it does look like she is trying to copy him, even her signature is very similar.

"You can't expect me to remember all my kid's ages. It's like they change every year!"
The only kid he's really interested in is Ivanka
And in that case "age is just a number"
