Trump’s youngest son reportedly advised his dad to make appearances with popular streamers and podcasters, including Joe Rogan.

[Exclusive: Barron Trump’s New Real-Estate Business Revealed - Newsweek](https://www.newsweek.com/barron-trump-new-business-real-estate-2014039) I have a feeling Trump will groom him even more than his other children because Barron looks just like him. Or grow to hate him for being a younger version. ---

To the extent I gave a fuck about him, I kinda hoped he would take a different path. But it’s an achievement of sorts that he hasn’t offed himself, I guess. ---

Whether he agrees that his father is doing a good job, I am sure that many of his college classmates do not and may not be shy about letting him know. That must be difficult. ---

Is he the kind of tall that comes from a hormonal imbalance? He looks fragile/ spindly. ---

He needs a stylist. You think his Mom could throw him a bone and guide him. Someone needs to show him how to smile, walk, where to put his hands. He’s very awkward looking. ---

> [@Son\_of\_a\_Rich](#): > > Is he the kind of tall that comes from a hormonal imbalance? He looks fragile/ spindly. His father is tall (though not as tall now as he says he is). His mother is tall. There isn’t a need for any other reason. My father was over 6’3” and weighed 130 when he joined the Marines. He filled out as he got older. Being thin when you are a tall 18 year old isn’t that unusual. ---

> [@aurora\_maire](#): > > I thought answering this question would be a hijack of that thread so I spun this off. > > Barron is all in. Thank you for this. I’ve been wondering where Barron was coming down. He’s 18, and he’s not just present at big events to watch and celebrate with his father, he’s actively involved in Trump’s business and politics. I can’t say I’m surprised. I had some hope, but not much. Seems to me he’s due whatever derision comes his way based on his actions. I wouldn’t go after him for being tall and gaunt, but being a pusher of digital money, especially scam coins, is fair game. ---

The apple does not fall far from the horse. Compared with Donald Jr. and Eric he looks presentable, so he is probably the dangerous one in the long term. ---

The old man gave him seed money, just like Fred did with him. He plans on the kid echoing his own life so that he can grow up to be his reincarnation, sort of like Boys from Brazil. Barron had better pack on a few more pounds before he plans on any serious sexual assault. I guess living with Melania was equivalent to military school. All in all, not bad for an anchor baby. ---
