He looks like a sloth. And I’m not trying to be insulting, but the image of the many stuffed and beanie, and so on jumped right into my head. If you shadowed his eyes just right …

Isn’t Tate in prison right now? In some other country, where Trump can’t even try to pardon him?

I heard about this too.

Anyone over the age of 15 who endorses that weirdo has some major screws loose.

Donald Trump was a [registered Democrat until 2009.](https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/donald-trump-was-once-a-registered-democrat-and-party-donor-why-did-he-jump-ship/wj85mj5yq)

So being a party changer worked for him.

Maybe that’s a bad example, since DJT probably was a reactionary even when he was registered Democratic.

I do believe in embracing party changers. The great majority are sincere.

I had to look up to figure out who Andrew Tate was. Sounds like just the sort of person that family admires. Is it just me, or does Barron have the most slappable face on the planet?

My reaction to this kind of comment is partly this:

He’s 19. Legally, there is no choice but to make a bright line between child and adult, so, in court, he’s an adult. But I’m not in court, and think that a 19 year old is only half adult.

I think 19 is old enough to be a real dick and he sure looks and acts like his dickiness is well matured.

Perhaps this period of his early adulthood will make him political poison if he ever tries to run for office.

Well, I can dream, anyway.

19 is old enough to vote and be in a war.

He’s adult enough.

Not saying he’s smart enough.

He needs an intrevention.

I still have hope Tiffany will break loose and do some truth telling. Trump will disown her so fast, it will startle.

Yeah I had same thought. Just because your whole family are utter and complete scumbags you don’t need to be. He could have decided not to be, but he didn’t.

Not particularly surprised mind you.

He was, in Romania, until Trump leaned on the government to release him and his shitheel brother.

Yeah, I was a much happier person before I’d heard of Andrew Tate too.

Oh, you meant Barron, didn’t you. 😛

Oh, I think he was acting out as an undiagnosed, untreated autistic child many times and all Melania could do was say “Be best” Barron. Don’t hurt the doggy”

He grew it what must surely have been a surreal skewed reality.

Like someone said, He never had a chance to be normal.

( you know “Be best” was her campaign for…ummm…something, not sure what)

I once had the vague notion/ hope that she was estranged from the old man. Now I know she isn’t, her saving grace is that she seems to be extremely dopey.

I assume it was a stuffed dog. I can’t imagine Mr. Potato Head having an actual dog.

Anyway, do you have a link to the story? I’ve never heard it.

No link. Probably not true. Just an assumption on my part.
