‘Things nursing home residents say’: Donald Trump brags about Barron Trump’s ‘genius,’ only backs rumors that Harvard ‘rejected’ his son

Fred Onyango — Tue, 27 May 2025 12:08:48 +0000

President Trump’s onslaught on Harvard University has hit new lows, with him constantly finding new ways to disrupt the esteemed institution of higher learning. The latest development — Trump reportedly trying to ban Harvard from bringing in foreign students — has led social media s to speculate whether Barron Trump was actually rejected by the school, and if that’s the root of all this needless animosity.

The popular X Republicans Against Trump highlighted Trump’s appearance on The Ingraham Angle, where he was asked about Barron’s aptitude. With Barron now grown up since Trump’s first term, people have understandably been curious about where his interests lie — business or politics, given that those are his father’s preferred arenas. But, surprisingly, Trump said Barron is more inclined toward technology — which, to be fair, does track with his rumored influence in the current Trump campaign.

However, when Trump explained why, you could almost hear a pin drop on Laura Ingraham’s side of the screen. Apparently, the president is baffled by Barron’s ability to keep turning his laptop back on… even after Trump turns it off. Trump even asked his son how he “manages” to do that, as though Barron had just rebooted a NASA satellite and not pressed the power button. If Trump wasn’t so dark in his presidential decision, he genuinely would be one of our greatest comedians.

Naturally, those who do know how a power button works took the moment to resurrect the rumor that Barron got rejected from Harvard.

Barron Trump is currently enrolled at NYU’s Stern School of Business, which boasts alumni who’ve gone on to lead institutions like the Federal Reserve. Perhaps he could use that education to gently guide his father away from just podcast appearances and toward understanding why a lowered credit rating is a big deal.

But the gap between what President Trump considers “tech genius” behavior and what Barron actually did made one X call Trump’s statement “things nursing home residents say.”

Other s outright claimed that Barron had, in fact, applied to Harvard and been rejected — and that’s what allegedly sparked Trump’s Ivy League vendetta in his second term.

Rumor going viral that Barron not getting ission to Harvard started this whole chain of events against Harvard. The Trumps don't have much genetically endowed academic caliber. Melania comes from much lower quality stock. So, not surprising.

"Have you tried turning it off and on again">Trump has tried to clamp down on the university by cutting funding and interfering with their issions policies.

As of now, this remains unconfirmed. But knowing Trump, he’ll soon catch wind of the chatter and gift us a midnight rage-post on Truth Social. Barron will be fine, of course. He’s the son of a billionaire who also happens to be a two-term U.S. president. What’s more concerning is that if the rumors are true, it means the powerful are once again standing in the way of people across the world who want to use education to change the course of their lives — just so the rich can feel a little more special, or worse, settle personal scores.

Barron Trump banned from giving out his phone number, resorts to drastic measures to communicate with pals

Camille Terrania — Thu, 24 Apr 2025 14:17:36 +0000

Barron Trump needs to follow strict security protocols as the son of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. For his safety while attending college at New York University, he is not allowed to give his phone number to anyone, including his friends. However, the first son may have found a clever workaround using technology that is readily available to him.

With Secret Service agents almost always shadowing his every move, it’s challenging for Barron to enjoy what college life has to offer outside of the classroom, like frat parties and dorm gossip. Since he is barred from sharing his personal phone number, he has been forced to get creative in communicating with his pals. According to Page Six, the youngest Trump has been leveling up his social game with the help of gaming consoles.

While most people his age are busy texting, FaceTiming, or Snapchatting, the 19-year-old logs into Xbox Live to stay connected. “He has added it to his repertoire. It’s his communication platform of choice,” a source told the outlet. Previously, Barron had been spotted using Discord — the chat app typically used by gamers — but now, Xbox has entered the chat. Literally, with voice and text features built right into the gaming console, it’s the perfect workaround for someone who can’t give out his phone number without risking a communications circus. His daddy can’t deal with another Pete Hegseth-level crisis, after all.

Barron’s questionable circle of friends

The source added that the younger Trump is “still trouble shooting” and figuring out the platform, but it’s a good start for him to stay connected with his pals. Also, even though this gives him a workaround for his strict security detailing, Barron is purportedly being cautious with the people he talks to online. He does not engage with strangers and only gives his gamer tag to people he knows and trusts.

However, the Trumps do not have a good track record when it comes to the people they surround themselves with. They only trust people who share the same values (or the lack thereof) as they do. A look at the people comprising the Trump istration already gives this away. Apart from Bo Loudon, all of Barron’s pals have stayed anonymous for good reason. However, we learned that he is buddies with the controversial Andrew Tate, and that says a lot about the kind of friends he chooses.

Tate, who faces criminal charges related to rape and human trafficking, dropped a bombshell in February, saying he is “very close with the Trump family,” including Barron. His connection with Donald might not have been as shocking, given that the politician himself is a convicted felon. But with Barron, it felt like a blow to Melania, who has vowed to be the best mother for her son. It’s just not the kind of friendship a mom would likely endorse when they know who Tate is.

Melania has been very protective of Barron ever since Trump started serving his first term as president. Before the family’s return to the White House for his second term in January, she swore to be laser-focused on her son’s well-being and make her role as first lady just secondary. However, given her active participation in her husband’s latest engagements, Melania now seems more preoccupied with the spotlight than her mommy duties. It’s either that, or she’s given Barron some leeway, knowing he is already an adult.

Andrew Tate is buddies with Barron Trump as America’s president being his ‘good friend’ wasn’t horrifying enough

Ewan Selmes — Sun, 02 Mar 2025 15:44:05 +0000

They say you can judge a person by the company they keep, and this is one set of comparisons where nobody involved comes out looking good. Andrew Tate is well-known for the luxurious and wealthy lifestyle he purports to enjoy, alongside and overshadowed by his misogyny and the various criminal charges laid against him, which includes rape and human trafficking.

Understandably, Andrew Tate is not exactly a friend most people would want to have. Whether it’s his comments about the role of women in society and relationships or the allegations of human trafficking and rape he just can’t seem to shake, these are comments and actions most people would consider so abhorrent they preclude any talk of friendship.

But apparently, the ill-famed misogynistic influencer claims he “very close with the Trump family,” including with Barron Trump, Trump’s youngest son. Perhaps someone should warn Barron, but unless he’s been living under a rock, he’ll already knows all about Tate and his escapades.

The relationship with Trump and his family doesn’t end there, as Tate has also met with Donald Trump Jr., who later posted social media messages in his . For a man like Tate to have such connections with the very top of America’s political pyramid is horrifying, but it doesn’t merely stop there — Andrew and his brother Tristan enjoy widespread from not just Trump, but other of the government and the president’s closest advisors, too.

Tate and his brother Tristan had been living in Romania where they were awaiting trial for the trafficking charges under a travel ban preventing them from leaving the country until everything had concluded. In a shock twist, not long after a U.S. special envoy and close ally of Trump reportedly pressured Romania to lift the ban, the ban was lifted, and the pair has travelled outside of Romania — landing in the U.S., in Fort Lauderdale, on Feb. 27.

The timing of the court decision has come under some scrutiny by figures and organisations worldwide. Despite Trump claiming to have no knowledge of the court decision, there is no denying the increasing levels of and commentary from the Tates and several of Trump’s key advisors and of his team — across several years.

It’s easy to see why key of the Trump istration someone like Tate. Tate is the ultimate “anti-woke” influencer, a man with a large following who can be easily deployed in any social media war. He is also an anti-Democrat, claiming that the charges against him were fabrications and a result of Democrat corruption.

He’s a perfect disruptor. As a dual U.K.-U.S. citizen, Tate is capable of acting in both countries. He’s even launched a political party in the UK to become its Prime Minister and “fix” the country, a goal that is wholeheartedly backed by Elon Musk. It’s unlikely that Tate’s “political party” will ever go anywhere — but that’s not really the point. The point is to be a disruptive force, and he’s ed by powerful figures who want to see that happen.

Tate has signalled his clear for Trump multiple times, referring to him as a “good friend” and “the future of the western world.” While their values do align, this is a fantastic bit of strategic theater from Tate, who has won over both the president and key of his cabinet and team; with friends like these, the truly horrifying thing is what Tate can be enabled to do with the full backing of the U.S. president — and the next-generation of Trumps.

Who was standing next to Barron Trump at the inauguration?

Aya Tsintziras — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 11:29:47 +0000

Barron Trump may be busy being swooned over at NYU (still not over that), but yesterday he was focused on another big moment: attending his father’s second inauguration.

Donald Trump was sworn in on Jan. 20, 2025 and there were plenty of questions before the day arrived, from whether Snoop Dogg would perform to why Carrie Underwood would want to sing at the event. But when people saw the photos of Barron at the inauguration, they wanted to know who else was there.

Which family stood next to Barron Trump at the inauguration?

A post shared by President Donald J. Trump (@realdonaldtrump)

Barron and the rest of Donald’s kids were standing together while the ceremony took place. This included Tiffany Trump, Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. Melania Trump was also there. There may be questions about how much time Melania and Barron will spend at the White House, but it was clear they would be there today. And, while no one would call the Trumps a close-knit family, particularly at this point in time, they were there (maybe just for the photo ops). Along with talking about the hat Melania sported during the ceremony, many are focusing on Barron’s height. (USA Today says he’s 6-foot-7 or 6-foot-9, so although his exact height remains a mystery, everyone can agree that he’s super tall.)

Everyone was also curious about who Barron was sitting next to: Viktor Knavs, his grandfather and Melania’s father. According to People, Viktor and his wife Amalija lived in Slovenia and moved to the U.S. after Melania and Donald got married. Barron and his grandparents were super close and a source told People, “There have been times when Barron has been with his grandparents more than with Melania, and a lot more than with Donald.” (Parents Of The Year.) Melania also said her dad “instilled in me a ion for business and travel. Amalija ed away in Jan. 2024, so only Viktor was at the inauguration.

As for Barron, he was 10 when Donald was sworn in for the first time, and now he’s 18. Although he’s attending NYU, he’s living at Trump Tower in NYC instead of the dorms. Last time, when Donald was sworn in, Barron and Melania remained in NYC for a little while because Barron went to private school on the Upper West Side. This time, it’s anyone’s guess how often Barron will come to the White House. According to E! News, when Barron lived there before, it had been 85 years since a high school-aged male called the White House home.

Although he was there for his dad’s inauguration, Barron and Donald still don’t appear to have the closest father/son relationship and that might not change anytime soon. But apparently Barron taught his dad all about podcasts, according to a source who spoke to ABC News, and so that’s the reason why Donald did a bunch of podcast interviews during his campaign. Melania told Fox News, “I’m very proud of him, about his knowledge, even about politics and giving advice to his father. He knows his generation.”

Well, now that those podcast interviews paid off and the inauguration is over, Barron and Donald can go back to barely seeing each other and Barron can once again enjoy his time at NYU.

Are Melania and Barron Trump determined to avoid Donald Trump’s White House at all costs? Their behavior, examined

Luigi Caler — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 10:51:31 +0000

Melania Trump‘s plan to largely stay away from the White House with her son, Barron, is now mostly confirmed. As her husband, President-elect Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House, she’s dropped some clues about her hesitancy in embracing life under the political spotlight again — and this isn’t just about her awkward smiles during her public appearances with Trump we’re talking about here.

During Trump’s reelection campaign and legal battle, Melania’s absence was impossible to ignore. While other of the Trump family, including Donald Jr., Eric, and even Tiffany, were front and center at rallies, events, and media appearances, Melania faded into the background. When Election Day arrived, she dutifully accompanied her husband to a polling station in Palm Beach and even stood by his side during his victory speech later that evening. However, she was nowhere to be found when the Trump family gathered at Mar-a-Lago for a celebratory photo op.

Melania has NOT shown up for Trump's criminal trial…not even for one (1) day. It's like even their marriage is FAKE.

So, WHERE'S MELANIA?

The viral snapshot, shared by Donald Trump Jr.’s daughter, Kai, on social media and cheekily captioned “The whole squad,” featured nearly every Trump family member, their spouses, and even Elon Musk with his son, X. The glaring absence of Melania in what was meant to be a family moment sparked speculation about her reluctance to engage in her husband’s second term as president.

Fast forward to the present and Melania’s statements in recent interviews suggest she’s trying to balance her responsibilities as the first lady with her role as a mother to Barron, her only child with Trump. Speaking on Fox & Friends on Jan. 13, Melania stressed her commitment to parenting, even as she is set to enter her second round as first lady.

“I will be in the White House,” she said. “And you know when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach. But my first priority is, you know, to be a mom, to be a first lady, to be a wife.” Analyzing her words, it seems Melania just confirmed that she’s still reluctant to fully embrace her role in the national government since she’s more focused on taking care of Barron even though the latter is already 18 and a college freshman at New York University.

"My first priority is, you know, to be a mom, to be a first lady, to be a wife. And once we are in on January 20, you serve the country."

— Fox News (@FoxNews) January 13, 2025

According to the George W. Bush Presidential Library, public service is inherent to the role of the First Lady. Though not elected into the position, she is expected to take charge of all ceremonial functions on behalf of the president. Her position and proximity to the president also give her influence, so she’s expected to make use of it by engaging in certain advocacies and serving as a role model to everyone. It’s unclear how Melania plans to go about this for the second time, considering she’s making Barron her top priority.

Barron is also unlikely to be seen around the White House, given that he’s in college. Also, unlike his older half-siblings, who have embraced public roles in their father’s political orbit, he’s so far chosen a quieter path. As he is currently attending NYU, he’s been staying in the Trump family’s Manhattan penthouse. When asked about Barron’s presence in his dad’s second term, Melania said in her recent interview, “I think he will come and visit, yes.”

Barron’s decision to stay in New York, coupled with his mother’s divided commitments, raises questions about how often either of them will set foot in the White House. While Melania insists she will fulfill her duties as first lady, her focus on her son and their New York home suggests her presence in Washington might be limited.

Her biggest alibi is, of course, Barron. “I always respect Barron’s yes and no and what he likes to do, where he would like to be,” she said. The White House is not too far from the Big Apple though, so we’ll have to wait and see how the mother and son will carry out their plan to mostly stay away from the White House.

Barron Trump’s Donald Trump campaign influence, explored

Jon Silman — Sun, 22 Dec 2024 23:08:00 +0000

During his campaign, President-elect Donald Trump raised a lot of eyebrows by going on so-called “bro” podcasts. Those appearances connected him with a lot of young, Gen Z male voters who were more sympathetic to the MAGA movement than their female peers. He would also turn up at football games and other sporting events. These ideas, it turns out, may have been suggested by Trump’s son, Barron Trump.

In an appearance on the PBD Podcast, Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara shared just how influential the young Trump ended up being to the campaign as a whole. She said Barron, 18, deserves “serious credit” for his part in getting his father back in the White House.

“Barron Trump is so cool. He’s like the sleeper a little bit. He’s kind of stayed out of the spotlight, probably intentionally,” she said. She then shared an anecdote about how the family would be traveling for the campaign and Barron would call and say “‘Dad, I have an idea of how you can get more votes,’ and it’ll be, you know, ‘you need to go to this baseball stadium’ or whatever.”

The older Trump would listen to his son, Lara said, and Barron would have final say on what podcast his father appeared on. Trump appeared on This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von, made an appearance with pranksters the NELK Boys, appeared on Logan Paul’s Impulsive podcast and near the end of the campaign, he stopped by The Joe Rogan Experience, reaching around 40 million people.

Barron’s contributions to the campaign were ratings bonanzas, per Trump senior adviser Jason Miller.

“Barron has been very involved in selecting or recommending, I should say, a number of the podcasts that we should do,” Miller said on Politico’s Playbook Deep Dive podcast. “I got to tell you, hats off to the young man. Every single recommendation he’s had has turned out to be absolute ratings gold that’s broken the internet. He’s done a great job.”

Barron’s mother, Melania Trump, also credits her son with helping his father win reelection. In an interview with Fox & Friends, her first since the election, Melania said Barron was “very vocal” about guiding his father’s campaign.

“He knew exactly who his father needs to and to talk to.” She said he knew people his age weren’t watching TV, they were getting news and information from podcasts and streamers on YouTube. His ideas “brought in so many young people — he knows his generation,” she said.

That winningness has reportedly bled into his personal life, as he’s been hailed as a “ladies man” by his classmates at New York University. Melania acknowledged that Barron will probably never get to be an ordinary student at the University. She said her advice to him was to that, “This is your road,” and “this is your life.”

Barron travels with a security detail, something that’s surely going to stand out if he attends in-person Freshman classes. Regardless, the young man has a bright future ahead of him, especially with the ear of the President only a phone call away.

So, um, you’ll never guess what people are saying about Barron Trump and ‘the ladies’ at NYU

Aya Tsintziras — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 20:15:30 +0000

Barron Trump isn’t exactly going to have a regular college experience full of beer pong, late-night study sessions, and existential dread. His famous last name kind of makes that impossible. But you’re not going to believe the latest on his time at New York University…

A source told People, “He’s a ladies man for sure. He’s really popular with the ladies.” Yes. This is happening, apparently. The source also said, “a lot of people seem to think he’s pretty attractive,”and added, in case there was any doubt, “even liberal people like him.” …Oh, even liberal people! It turns out NYU students have forgotten all about Barron’s father’s political history (and horrifying political future) because they’re so excited that Barron is attending that school. Who knew? It might seem like hardworking and ambitious business students would be focused on the piles of classwork they likely have, but perhaps they’re too distracted by Barron to focus.

Barron became a student at the Stern School of Business at NYU in Sept. 2024, and to hear this source tell it, he’s totally thriving. Despite his last name, no one knows a ton about him, besides the stories that come out from time to time. Like a disgusting so-called joke he made. But it’s hard to sympathize with anyone who is part of the Trump family. And it’s hard to hear the term “ladies’ man” associated with any Trump male and not feel your lunch coming up. Or decide to skip lunch entirely, which I would usually say is a bad idea.

Although Barron has been a more private figure than the rest of his family, his dad has talked about him from time to time. If you’re wondering where the name “Barron” comes from, which is a fair point considering it’s so dreary and fear-inducing (and also shares a spelling with the financial publication Barron’s and not, you know, “baron,” a title of nobility) Donald told Oprah Winfrey once, “It’s a name I’ve always loved but I never had the courage to use.” He added that after telling Melania about the moniker, he “was going to take it away at the very end,” and Melania said she got attached to the name while pregnant. …”Take it away at the end?” Away from what? Is Trump so powerful he can remove a name from the universe? Alright, anyway, now everyone knows.

And, if you’re curious about Donald’s opinion on his son’s love life, apparently he has no clue whether his son has ever dated anyone. Totally normal. In an interview on the PBD Podcast, Donald said, “I don’t think he’s had a girlfriend yet.” On a scale of totally absent to helicopter parent, where is Donald? If Barron was in a relationship with a TikToker, I guess Donald had no idea. Donald must have known that his young son liked his suitcase, though, based on how viral that random statement went a few years ago. Or maybe he didn’t, considering the fact that he always talks about his son as if he has no idea who he is, or where he came from.

So, Barron might not have a social media presence where he shares his life at NYU, and he might not be publicly talking about who he’s dating, if he’s dating anyone at all. But now everyone is fully informed of his “ladies’ man” status. Is anyone sure the anonymous source wasn’t Donald, though? Oh, wait, the president-elect would probably only say that about himself.

‘The look on his face!’: ‘Jealous’ Barron cast aside as Daddy Trump and ‘surrogate son’ get their canoodle on at Thanksgiving

Kopal — Sat, 30 Nov 2024 13:46:06 +0000

Thanksgiving is here and most of us are celebrating with our families — except one certain individual — who, despite having 12 children, is spending it with his unofficial Daddy.

We used to doubt that money couldn’t buy everything, but his billions have bought Elon Musk a whole new family to spend Thanksgiving with. While Donald Trump managed to have First Lady Melania Trump and their 18-year-old son Barron Trump sit through the embarrassing ordeal of his and Musk’s bromance at the dinner table, Musk couldn’t get any of his 12 children to him at Mar-a-Lago. But hey, at least his mother didn’t leave her “genius” son’s side.

Even though Trump’s granddaughter Kai had already awarded Musk “uncle status,” possibly after the significant time he spent at Trump’s Florida club when the former couldn’t “get him out of here,” (via CNN) Barron does not seem to share the same feelings. While Trump and Musk swayed to the Republican campaign rally classic, “Y-M-C-A,” in a video posted on Barron couldn’t help but let out an awkward smile at the pair.

The video was recorded by Yaakov Safar, a French jewelry designer who was invited to Mar-a-Lago as a guest. Safar said that the event had “an absolutely extraordinary atmosphere” and “Trump and Elon walked around the room, stopped at each table, and spoke to all the guests.” (via CNN) But shouldn’t that be Barron greeting the guests alongside Trump? Taking a jab at this, one on X commented:

Barron is simultaneously embarrassed of his dad and jealous of Elon being dad’s surrogate son.
— Jeffrey Philistine (@TejasGator) November 29, 2024

Looking at recent events, it’s not surprising that people are referring to Musk as Trump’s “surrogate son.” Just a day after the election, Musk appeared in a Trump family photo posted by Kai on X, captioned “The whole squad,” which comfortably left First Lady Melania out of sight.

Oh, and Barron isn’t smiling in this picture either. Though the 18-year-old has successfully avoided the spotlight thus far, Barron has been in discussions lately as the “teenage mastermind” behind Trump’s 2024 election win.

Barron also recently faced serious allegations of troubling behavior, but all the claims remained unconfirmed. However, this recent clip of him at Mar-a-Lago has spared him some sympathy for tolerating the insufferable bond between his father and Musk. Whether Trump’s growing closeness with the world’s richest man is a genuine friendship or part of a business deal is unclear, but Musk will soon lead the Department of Government Efficiency alongside Vivek Ramaswamy under the incoming Trump istration. Does that make things clearer?

‘He’s like the sleeper a little bit’: Lara Trump credits ‘vicious and violent’ teenage mastermind Barron as key to Donald Trump’s 2024 win

Tom Disalvo — Mon, 18 Nov 2024 10:05:41 +0000

Donald Trump’s stunning presidential election victory is the result of multiple things — from the much shorter campaign run of his opponent, to voters’ trust in his supposed vision for the economy — but few have credited the president-elect’s win to his son, Barron Trump.

That is, until recent comments made by Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of the Republican candidate who recently shared details of Barron’s role in helping his father get reelected. Gushing about the 18-year-old — Trump’s youngest child — in a new episode of Patrick Bet-David’s podcast, Lara said Barron should be given “serious credit” for his influence on the campaign and reflected on how her brother-in-law stayed mostly in the shadows while exerting this influence.

“Barron is so cool,” Lara said. “He’s like the sleeper a little bit. He’s kind of stayed out of the spotlight, probably intentionally.” Lara claimed she’d witnessed Barron suggest many ideas to his father throughout the presidential race. “Barron will call and say, ‘Dad, I have an idea of how you can get more votes,’” Lara recalled, “and it’ll be, you know, ‘you need to go to this baseball stadium’ or whatever.” She said the youngest Trump child was “always throwing ideas out there,” some of which are thought to have contributed to Trump winning over a key demographic during the election.

For instance, Barron is thought to be responsible for suggesting many of the podcast appearances Trump did throughout his race to the White House. Among other Gen Z-targeted podcasts, Trump gave interviews for The Nelk Boys, Theo Von, and Logan Paul, and Barron was reported to have had a say in Trump’s appearance on Kick influencer Adin Ross’ podcast back in August. Of course, Trump also appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast — Kamala chose not to match his appearance — and garnered a 40-million-strong audience as a result.

The selection of these appearances — on so-called “bro” podcasts with audiences who are sympathetic towards the MAGA movement — was part of Trump’s broader quest to court young male voters, a feat which he eventually achieved. According to analysis by CIRCLE, Trump secured 56% of the vote of young men this election, a 15% increase from the 41% who backed him during his 2020 run. While it can’t truly be known how much of this boils down to Barron, Trump himself has spoken about his son’s influence while on the campaign trail.

“He’s very smart and tall,” Trump told Rogan of his son. “He knows all about you. He knows about guys I’ve never heard of.” Lara and Trump aren’t the only of the president-elect’s camp to praise Barron’s role in the campaign, with senior Trump adviser Jason Miller saying the teenager’s recommendations have been “absolutely ratings gold.” Miller said Barron was “very involved in selecting or recommending” Trump’s podcast appearances, all of which went on to “[break] the internet” in of ratings.

It marks the most recent time the youngest Trump has made headlines this election cycle, from allegations made by a camp counselor about his aggressive behavior to concerns around nepotism and his increasing comparability to his father. For her part, Lara attracted attention after mistakenly saying there are “81 states” in the US, so it’s a good thing it wasn’t her who had a Barron-like influence on the Trump campaign.

‘They def have cats buried in the yard’: Barron Trump is only 18 years old and he’s already a low-key terror

Barron Trump turned 18 on Mar. 20, 2024, but those of us living in constant fear of his father Donald Trump’s ascension to the White House come November are already sweating.

The collective anticipatory anxiety concerning the youngest Trump is no surprise given the family’s penchant for nepotism, and there are already behavioral signs of a father-like-son situation. First came allegations made by a camp counselor that Barron “attacked someone with a knife,” when he was a minor. If that wasn’t bad enough, it was also claimed he was prone to nanny-slapping, throwing furniture, and spitting on people.

Then in an April 8 video, current affairs podcast Valuetainment recounted one of the worst misfire jokes of 2024, straight from Barron’s mouth: “Who would ever eat food with a silver spoon? Mine was gold.”

Making such an out-of-touch joke was presumably done in the confidence the other well-to-do people at the table wouldn’t broadcast it to the public. After all, working-class Americans rightfully don’t love hearing quips about excessive wealth while the rental market skyrockets and the idea of home ownership becomes a pipe dream. Oopsie.

Generational wealth is as much a part of the Trump clan’s legacy as FBI investigations are, so it’s hardly surprising to hear it come out of Barron’s mouth. It’s not a good look though, and probably not one his father’s campaign wants to further given how much of its shtick is fighting for blue-collar citizens.

Barron has largely been protected from much of the negative media attention aimed at his family, and reasonably so. He was a child during the Trump istration’s reign and often cut a sallow and shy-looking figure during public appearances. But he’s growing up, and if he heads in a Trump-mini-me direction, things will only get worse.

that's definitely joffrey LMFAOO

The reaction to the joke is case-in-point, with comparisons to Game of Thrones’ despicable young king Joffrey Lannister quick to come to people’s minds on X.

Barron is beginning to sound like his papa

Hosts Patrick Bet-David, Adam Sosnick, Tom Ellsworth, and Vincent Oshana described a dinner hosted by the young man at Mar-a-Lago. They say they were invited personally by Barron, a fan of the show. The rest of the podcast episode featured the hosts complimenting Barron’s apparent wit and charm, probably hungry for their next invite.

Other topics of conversation at the dinner were reportedly Barron’s college choices. We know he eventually picked New York University, which his mother Melania Trump confirmed in a Fox & Friends interview. She said Barron had opted to reside in Trump Tower instead of student dorms. We can’t blame him for this in good faith — we’ve seen Gossip Girl and know which housing we’d prefer.

Still, a life so far removed from the average person’s everyday reality may be the cause of his horrendous taste in humor. Perhaps there’s hope that, like cult followers having an epiphany after witnessing something extra egregious, Barron might one day seek to clarify where he stands on things as an individual, not just an extension of the Trump family tree.

His half-brothers have gone the way of being Donald 2.0 models, but who’s to say Barron won’t end up like Mary Trump? Donald’s niece will not vote for him in November and has publicly distanced herself from his politics on countless occasions. It would be nice to be reminded that cycles can be broken. What are the chances? We wouldn’t bet our mortgage on it, even if we had one to gamble with.

‘He attacked someone with a knife multiple times’: Fresh allegations about Barron Trump’s Michael Myers-like behavior range from eye-opening to downright disturbing

Tom Disalvo — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 09:25:43 +0000

With Donald as their patriarch, you can rest assured that a hypothetical reality TV show following the lives of the Trump family would be captivating — in a guilty pleasure, absolute dumpster fire kind of way.

Probably titled something like Keeping Up With The Trumps, the show would document everything from blue collar crime to alleged affairs and complex tanning regimes. In perhaps a more disturbing storyline, it could also focus on Barron Trump, who has recently become the subject of renewed (and salacious) allegations of being somewhat of a nightmare, to put it mildly.

The source of the allegations is an X @WonderKing82 (aka Mr. Weeks), who claims to have interacted with Trump’s youngest son as part of his job as a camp counsellor and behavioral specialist. Taking to the platform last week, the X claimed, among other things, that he’d witnessed or heard of instances where Barron Trump was caught “killing animals” (a sign of sociopathy, for the record), tossing a desk, and hitting and spitting on people.

Barron got caught killing animals.

Barron tossed desk, spat on people, hit people repeatedly.

He attacked someone with a knife multiple times.

He was even accused of sexually touching someone at a sleepover that resulted in an investigation.

The most disturbing allegations were that Barron Trump “attacked someone with a knife multiple times,” and that he “was even accused of sexually touching someone at a sleepover that resulted in an investigation.” Naturally, the allegations invoked a swift response from Trump ers, prompting Mr. Weeks to share proof of his time with Barron Trump in the form of an old photograph featuring both of them.

The thread of accusations only continued, with the camp counsellor elsewhere claiming that he’d witnessed Barron Trump slap his nanny, “snap in school”, and have a hard time making friends. It’s worth noting that these s are unverified, but it isn’t the first time the heir to the fake tan dynasty has faced speculation over troubling behavior.

In 2020, singer and alleged mistress of Donald Trump Jr., Aubrey O’Day, tweeted (then promptly deleted) claims that Barron once “threw [his] plate…at the attendant” while the family was onboard a private jet. In true Housewives fashion, she also shared gossip alleging that Trump Jr. despised Barron and had described him as “a little s**t” and “a**hole”. You know, classic older brother stuff, but with a dash more complete and utter disdain.

The fact that these allegations came from someone who claimed to have an affair with Trump Jr. is enough to compel Bravo to draft a contract, but we shouldn’t expect this hypothetical series to appear on our television screens anytime soon.

Knowing Trump, he’d probably inflate his own show’s ratings, or dismiss any negative edit as “fake news.” Oh, everything captured would also be used against him in court.

The Trump family’s net worths, ranked

Nahila Bonfiglio — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 17:58:32 +0000

The Trumps aren’t even among the wealthiest families in America, but each member of the white-collar fam still sports more cash in their pocket than the average American will earn in a lifetime.

Each member of the family, down to its youngest addition, is worth millions, with some — like their pigheaded patriarch — boasting a net worth in the billions. Due to seemingly unending legal issues, questionable business dealings, and those sky-high court fees, they’ve taken a major hit over the last few years, but every member of the Trump family is still doing just fine financially.

Donald Trump is notoriously stingy, infamously cheaping out on his own employees and vendors and, as it turns out, even his own kids. While he has worked to spread the wealth, as it were, among his five children, he’s still keeping the bulk of it to himself.

7. Barron Trump — unknown

He may not fall at the bottom of the Trump lineup, but since 18-year-old Barron Trump’s net worth isn’t widely known, he appears to be the least wealthy member of the family. He’ll likely inherit a fair amount of cash once he gets a bit older, but for now he’s got more important things to focus on.

6. Tiffany Trump — $10 million

The least-known Trump child is also among the poorest Trump family member, but that by no means makes Tiffany Trump anything but extremely wealthy. She’s still worth an estimated $10 million, and for someone who spends most of her time working on a career in content creation, that’s pretty darn great.

5. Melania Trump — $50 million

Donald Trump’s third wife and the mother of his fifth child, Melania Trump was the reluctant First Lady of the United States for four years, and has since largely secluded herself in one of her family’s opulent abodes. She’s still married to the former president and floundering businessman, however, and that gives her the privilege of a thoroughly stacked bank .

4. Eric Trump — $350 million

The third Trump child has spent a good amount of his public-facing career being the subject of ridicule, but he may be the one left laughing after getting a good look at his bank . We may have endless opportunities to poke fun at Donald Trump’s least-favorite son, but with $350 million to his name, Eric is laughing all the way to the bank.

3. Donald Trump Jr. — $350 million

His pops may show him far more affection, but when it comes to money, the older Trump sons are entirely equal. The oldest Trump child is worth the exact same amount as his little brother, but less than half what their father’s clear favorite has wrangled up over the years.

2. Ivanka Trump — $800 million

To be fair, Ivanka Trump’s impressive $800 million net worth is only so high due to its incorporation with that of Jared Kushner, Ivanka’s well-off husband. Still, its a mind-boggling number, and no doubt helped along by the fact that Ivanka is, and always has been, her dad’s pride and joy.

1. Donald Trump — $7.5 billion

A post shared by President Donald J. Trump (@realdonaldtrump)

No one is surprised to learn that Donald Trump, the gaudy, gilded gasbag that used his supposed business skills to attain the highest political position in America, is worth a lot of money. It is surprising to learn how much his net worth is still estimated at following more than a year’s worth of crippling legal fees and criminal consequences, however. Through it all, Trump’s held onto enough of his assets to keep his estimated worth in the billions — but that could all change once his many crimes finally catch up to him.
