The Donald’s son is sad that he might have to leave his friends to go live in the White House.  
:rolleyes:

So you’re making fun of a nine year old for caring more about his friends than his father’s job? Am I getting that right?

Yeah, and I also tripped an old lady crossing the street today. Aren’t I just awful!?

I forgot about Barron, and couldn’t figure out why the other sons were assuming they’d move into the White House.

Personally I think creating a whole thread to complain about the musings of a 9 year old is a little worse. If you trip an old lady, that’s just one person whose life you’re disrupting, but when you post a thread like this, millions, the teeming millions have collectively wasted at least 7 or 8 hours clicking on this utterly mundane and pointless topic . … Oh wait a minute, I’m in MPSIMS. Never mind.

Why on earth would he think the Clintons would want him living with them? 😉

Being upset about having to move doesn’t seem all that First World. Seems like a pretty universal concern. Most nine year olds wouldn’t want to be uprooted.

I wish there was a way for me to help that little fella understand that he has, without question, nothing to worry about.

In other words, a humblebrag.
