FFS, Barron Trump IS Norman Bates. That's how Melania raised him. America needs to stop expecting greatness from him.

Barron Trump has been spotted after weeks of public invisibility following his outing as an acolyte of the misogynistic Tate brothers.

Earlier this month, Barron, 19, was revealed by The New York Times to have a close friendship with James Waller, manosphere influencer and the so-called “third brother” of Andrew and Tristan Tate.

Popping up in the background of footage shared by guests of the Christmas Day dinner hosted at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Palm Beach home and resort, Barron can be seen talking to attendees.

Seated beside his father and across from his older brother, Don Jr., Barron is seen laughing with someone who appears to be his nephew, Donald John Trump III.

He WANTS TO BE Don Jr. He WANTS TO BE Eric. And Melania stepped on that during the 2024 campaign.

And we all know that the more behavior is SUPPRESSED, the more it spreads, like a virus.

There's a really, really bad person inside of him who wants to come out and play with his older brothers.

and, while I'm not a psychologist, I suspect his father's apparent indifference to his son might amount to "emotional neglect" and even a perceived personal rejection. In this way, I'd guess his father's influence could carry significant damage.

There's something weird about that kid. Flame all anyone wants. It's quite obvious in my opinion, and I'm entitled to my opinion.

We don't do ourselves any favors defending that family. They are all warped in one way or another or they'd denounce the actions of Trump like Mary Trump has.

Wow, those female victims are not gonna fuck over people and scam cash from them like the Barron.
That dude is Barron of a soul. The mommy and daddy cult made damn sure of that. He was fed greed his whole damn life.
I am With you Miles. Anything trump is evil and sick.
He had a choice. Those poor kids never did under that evil fuckers control and his BFF Epstein.
Those victims never lived in endless corruptly obtained cash.”Same as trumps victims”, sorry, not buying that, like I would never buy any of trumps gifting crap.
Just like I would never join a club of Jim Jones kids leadership.
Baron is a trump, lived like a trump, gained unlimited cash like a trump, lived off scammed victims like a trump, IS A DAMN trump and looks at the world and working people like a damn trump, and will expect us to kneel before his greatness. Deport this whole treasonous scum of a genetic mass of shit.
Daddy wanted to have sex with his daughter, if Barron had pix of his nude mommy under the mattress, would I be shocked????
Nope.

Here's a description of the BFFs of the poor, innocent "victim":

"The Tate brothers have been arrested several times in Romania, first in December 2022, when they faced charges of human trafficking and rape. The brothers are at the center of six investigations, including two civil complaints, in Romania and the U.K., as well as a criminal investigation in Florida.

Andrew Tate formerly taught a class in “Pimping Hoes” at his online Hustlers University. He was banned from Twitter in 2017 for saying that women “bare [sic] some responsibility” for rape."

Poor baby!

The only question is what kind of abnormal - serial killer, drug addict, off-the-grid hermit, sex pest, terrorist, hedge fund manager, or some combination. Barron is too tall and Trump-looking to get away with crimes where you have to avoid identification, but he could easily become an Epstein-type sex offender or a Bernie Madoff-type financial scammer. Hanging out with the Tates, who should be social lepers instead of social butterflies, is not a good sign.

He is nineteen years old. Certainly all the cards are stacked against him living in that family with no role models other than the same kind of low life people always around.

I work with young adults in extraordinary circumstances and I have seen them become their own people. I choose not to judge until someone shows me differently.
