Isn’t that just ducky. Looks like Tate is using him as a conduit to insinuate himself into the Trumposphere. Hopefully [this isn’t paywalled](https://newrepublic.com/post/204283/barron-trump-ties-sex-trafficker-andrew-tate). But there are a number of online sources carrying this story as well. ---

> [@Jophiel](#): > > While sad, I can’t imagine this would be a shock to anyone. He has been kept under pretty close wraps for most of his life, before he came of age, with rumors that his mother was protecting him from his father’s influence. So I think it would have been an open question what sort of person he would turn out to be, and there might have been some hope that he would be a mensch instead of an asshole. I haven’t kept much track at all, but apparently that hope has long since faded. ---

> [@Roderick\_Femm](#): > > So I think it would have been an open question what sort of person he would turn out to be, and there might have been some hope that he would be a mensch instead of an asshole. I think it very much remains undetermined whether Barron has autism or some other thing that prevents him from being active in the public eye. AFAIK there are few if any videos of him saying anything at all other than “nice to meet you”. So I’m skeptical as to how much of an independent opinion Barron has about anything at all, until I hear it directly from his own mouth. ---

I think that he’s still an undergraduate student is the reason he’s not “being active in the public eye.” I believe Tiffany was a law student during the first Trump administration and similarly chose to stay out of politics. ---

There’s no reason to believe the young man or any of his older siblings will ever be more than a drain on America. When Trump finally falls on his ass, disgraced and maybe charged with crimes AND punished, they will never shut their mouths. Barron is what?.19-20? We’re gonna be hearing from/about him for decades. ---

> [@Roderick\_Femm](#): > > I haven’t kept much track at all, but apparently that hope has long since faded I had hoped for this. He’s had an insider view of this whole mess, and you’d think he’d at least make notes on which evil and toxic things to avoid doing, even if he wants to do evil things. Hanging out with a sex trafficker like dear old dad did is just the stupidest fuckin’ thing he could do. ---

“Be best” when he was pulling the dogs head off in closet. Yeah, she’s not the bastion of Motherhood. I don’t trust Melania as far as I could throw her. ---

Last year, at 18, Barron was helping get his father on the likes of Joe Rogan and Logan Paul for the campaign, so the idea that he’s some Andrew Tate acolyte should surprise absolutely no one. ---

> [@WalterBishop](#): > > It strikes me as weird. I thought Andrew Tate was just for angry guys who can’t get laid. Nah, it’s also for all angry white boys convinced that this modern world is keeping them down for their masculinity. Which is a core MAGA tenet. I’m sure there’s women willing to lie with Barron. There’s also plenty of women who’d say “Ew, fuck no” and we can’t have that. ---

He’s someone who my fingers just itch to slap, with his smarmy face and oily slicked-back hair. And I have a sickening feeling that Barron will go into politics, and because of his family name and the fact that he looks like his dad, will scoop up future MAGA votes. God send that it does not happen. ---

I hope by the time Barron Trump is of age to run for office, that the connection to his father is poison at the voting booth even among Republicans. ---

He is getting adoration for who he is, not for anything he has done. That isn’t good for anyone. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Qz71qPeVlG0/maxresdefault.jpg "Trump introduces 'very tall son' Barron") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz71qPeVlG0) ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > I hope by the time Barron Trump is of age to run for office, that the connection to his father is poison at the voting booth even among Republicans. This assumes that by the time Barron Trump is of age to run for office, he still is Republican. Right now, all five of Donald Trump’s children have a MAGA Republican history. But it seems to me a bit unlikely that not a single one of them will ever rebel against the parental brand. I’m not predicting which one is mostly likely to become the dissenter, just saying I’m reluctant to act like political views are set at age 19. ---

It won’t be political, it will be opportunistic. Where do his chances for political success lie, with all those poor MAGA idiots pining for someone to believe in since Daddy died, or as an apostate switching to the D brand?
