    Calling it now: in about 10 years (probably less) Barron’s going to be tied to a plethora of creepy sociopathic shit.

      He’s already been linked to childhood animal abuse, so it didn’t even take 10 years. Someone who worked for his school (I forget who exactly) spoke about it a few years back.

        I doubt it. QAnon and MAGA are deeply rooted in the historical moment. And Trump’s brand as an outsider promising all the nice things that Dems and GOPers alike say are impossible is fully soiled.

        Baron isn’t going to do any better than Don Jr or Eric. He’ll become another Crypto-bro hustler at best. Or just fade into obscurity, because hustling is a lot of work and he’s already inheriting billions of dollars from his parents, so why bother?

        Maybe we’ll get a Baron Trump media moment, like with the Kardashians, when he marries into a glitzy influencer family and his own kids start hungering for the spotlight.

              One of those “R” words never left. It stayed behind where my buddy’s doctor used it to clinically describe the progress of his beautiful little girl. The difference is, in that situation and many like it the word is not used pejoratively: it’s just a term.

              They only added the hate back in. Because they’re hateful.

              My buddy is an incredibly nice, generous and positive guy, and he loves his little girl fiercely. I’m glad they will not be affected by the hated misuse of that word any more than the ocean was affected by the Titanic.

      Unless that kid has a miraculous moral compass of pure diamond, that’s pretty much a guarantee.

      He’s already probably never been told “no.”
