Donald J. Trump was groomed for the spotlight since he was a teenager. Fred was happy to prop him up as the face of his company. But Barron Trump has been kept shielded in secrecy, and rightfully so. We've seen what Donald's parenting did to his older sons, and Barron is probably a pretty cool kid, considering the hand he's been dealt in life.
On Moms for America, not to be confused with Moms For Threeways, Trump was asked about his relationship with his 17-year-old son. It got a bit awkward. Trump doesn't know his son very well. If he wants to know Don Jr., all he has to do is look in the mirror. But this is a different story.
"He's a tall guy, very tall. 6'8," Trump said. "He's a great young man. Very good student. I think he's doing a good job - Barron. I think he's doing a very good job."
Trump is talking about his son. I don't have children, but I know my cat more than Lumpy knows Barron. And this comes from the family values party. A few years ago, Trump referred to Barron as "Melania's son," and his supporters didn't bat an eye.
X users weighed in:
"Loves our military, the second amendment and wants a strong border. He's doing a great job"

He's a tall guy? That's the takeaway for Trump about his flesh and blood?

Translation: he doesn't know shit about his own son

He talks about his son like he's an intern in the State Dept.

Pray tell, Donald: what job is your "6'8" seventeen-year-old, good student" doing besides making it through the absolute daily embarrassment of having you as a father?

Sounds like such a normal dad thing to say. 😳

I hope that Barron turns out to be the one redeeming member of the Trump family. If so, the Trump name and money could be put to good use one day. Like, turn the top floor of Trump Tower into a homeless shelter with an amazing view, and have the second floor as a place for Muslims to worship. Call it, "The Barack Obama Floor" just for birther funsies. Hey, I can dream, right? At least he didn't say that Barron came up to him with tears in his eyes, "We need you back in the White House, sir."
I'm wondering how my brother and family would do my tombstone: "She was a tall woman. She did a good job at sister-ing."
