Barron

[no_hypocrisy]

I'm unconvinced that he's the behind-the-scenes genius that TSF makes him out to be.

There's no video or audible record of Barron speaking. TSF's other children have made speeches, inc. Tiffany. Not Barron.

IMO, it's not b/c he's shy or adverse to publicity, etc.

I think he's on the high end of autism spectrum. He can function well enough, but not completely independently.

The video of Barron when he was three shows a typical gregarious and articulate child with a Slovakian accent. Nothing after that.

And I further believe that Barron was moved from NYU's main campus in Greenwich Village to keep an eye on him and to prevent any negative media findings about him. He's now cloistered in the WH.

1. Who cares?

If Barron has developmental issues, that's for his family to navigate. It's private and personal. I don't care.

Meanwhile, his father is a criminal, a war criminal, a fake and a phony. There are plenty of issues of serious import to attack Trump and to try to hold him accountable. Those are, in my opinion, real issues to investigate.

[Conjuay]

14. His father is the one with developmental issues

N/T

[FullySupportDems]

27. That was my first thought too

I really don't care
Do you?

Says it all.

I mean honestly, he's happy, healthy, wealthy and his dad is a huge bully. Can't win them all. But he started out the gate a lot better than most. He's just another rich white guy who can live his whole life without a care in the world. And I'm not jealous, because I think that kind of person is toxic and not very human.

2. Hasn't he always lived in the US ? Why would he have a Slovakian accent ,?

Many autistic people can be geniuses but I agree that he isn't one.

All he did was tell Trump to go on certain dickbag podcasts that he knew about.

[Tanuki]

3. We don't even know that Baron is actually the one

who told him to go on those podcasts. Trump said he did, but he lies about everything. He may have just been trying to "normalize" the kid's image and portray him as someone who was active and involved behind the scenes despite his lack of public engagement.
I think he had a Slovenian accent as a small child because he spent all his time with Melania and her parents, who spoke to him in Slovenian or their heavily accented English. I don't think he has the accent now.

[BuddhaGirl]

24. As a toddler, it's not surprising about his accent

He was probably pretty much surrounded by his mother and grandparents exclusively.

I suspect that he didn't have much exposure to his father back then.

[Midnight Writer]

28. Daddy was out chasing that fine porn poon.

[Attilatheblond]

26. His mother and grand parents are Slovakian and he has been reported as fluent in the language

Trump has admitted to being a hands-off parent to his children when they were young, so it is possible Slovakian is Barron's first language.

4. Have you or anyone you know personally ever talked directly to Barron Trump? Ever been in the same room?

Same building?
Same city?
Did your friend say " there is Barron " while walking somewhere?
What do ou base your opinions on him on?

I don't care but would be interested to know.

[hamsterjill]

5. I think he is autistic.

And I think Trump (in his sick, twisted thinking) is embarrassed by that. I think Trump has desperately looked for someone to blame for Barron being autistic, thus the attack on vaccines and the Tylenol crap.

[NJCher]

6. Ah!

You may have something there.

[sop]

7. That makes sense.

[La Coliniere]

8. I've suspected this all along too.

[newdeal2]

10. And the attacks on "drug" boats? Is that revenge for being cursed with Don Jr. and Eric?

[BigmanPigman]

12. Baron should be glad Joe Kennedy isn't his father

since he would end up getting a failed lobotomy to live with for the rest of his life.

A lot of people have said he is likely autistic and they weren't trying to be mean, just objective.

[Blumancru]

31. There may be some truth to the circumcision/Tylenol/Autism link

I was circumcised at birth and could not walk or talk for about a year.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

9. In horse speak, Trump is the Sire and Melania is the Dam.

Barron is the Colt who could not stand upright quick enough to find his legs and begin to suckle.

The over protectiveness of Barron by Melania and forbidding him from public speaking of any kind, should be some indication that not all is well. The height thing is another matter as well. At 6'8", who in either family going back a generation or two, was that tall?

We can only speculate for now? I am certain there are some Doctors here at DU who could answer that.

[Mossfern]

15. Don't need to be a doctor

in order to suggest a paternity test.
However, that's a private matter.

[choie]

11. He's a sociopath in the making.

Nothing will convince me otherwise.

[CTyankee]

13. I think we should leave him alone. He's a kid.

He hasn't done anything wrong; except being born Trump and Melanoma's son.

[Raine]

16. Leave him alone ... he has enough of a problem just being a

Trump.

[Celerity]

17. Melania is Slovenian, NOT Slovakian, and why would Barron have a Slovene accent? He was raised in the US.

you said:

The video of Barron when he was three shows a typical gregarious and articulate child with a Slovakian accent. Nothing after that.

[no_hypocrisy]

18. My bad. Point taken.

[617Blue]

19. Baron Trump will be accused of sexual assault in 2026

Just a prediction. This young man is a monster.

[Polybius]

22. How is he a monster?

Has he done something that I am unaware of?

[617Blue]

23. Crypto Grifter is just a start.

[Tanuki]

32. I don't see any reason to think he amassed any of this on his own.

More likely, one or more of the family's financial team put it all together in his name. I don't like any of the Trumps but I think it is really unfair to call him a "monster" and repulsive to call him an incipient sex criminal. I don't know of anything he has done to deserve that.

[edhopper]

20. Role model?

[Polybius]

21. Sure there are videos of him speaking

Here's one:

25. NYU

I'm sure he loves it.

My alma mater. As a recall, it is the most conservative university in the country. Beats Liberty every year.

[Grins]

29. He has never been political; unlike his siblings.

So leave him alone. You don’t touch family unless they are actively involved.

[meadowlander]

30. a) it's incredibly rude to speculate about peoples' neurodiversity - on par with speculating about their sexuality

b) there's no "high end" of the autistic spectrum - it's a spectrum because of the range of characteristics that appear more or less strongly in each individual not because some people are "very" autistic and some people are "only a little" autistic.
c) lots of autistic people live independently - almost 80% according to one study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9299856/
d) lots of autistic people are highly articulate and live public lives (eg, Anthony Hopkins, Dan Ackroyd, Greta Thunberg, Tim Burton, Bill Gates, Susan Boyle) - if he's out of the spotlight his theoretical autism would have nothing to do with it.
e) other than being his father's son, he hasn't shown any great desire to be a public figure. So why not leave him out of it?

[LudwigPastorius]

33. He probably has some lingering behavioral problems from being pumped with human growth hormone as a toddler.
