Barron Trump
Has moved into the White House with his mother and grandparents. He’s certainly a tall tall kid for eleven years old.
Barron is either going through early puberty or is going to be a giant, or both. He has two tall parents, but my guess is that he will exceed them both in height.
It is truly amazing how vicious some Trump opponents can be about Barron. The old saw that children of presidents are off-limits went by the wayside long ago. Actually, very little surprises me about the Trump opponents—and those who mock Barron would probably say that, since Trump isn’t a real president, his son isn’t a real president’s child and therefore is fair game.
Much talk about the grandparents moving in, too. That is a nice touch as they may help with the boy. Multigenerational families have a long history in this country, and probably most others. Of course, Obama’s mother in law lived in the White House and nothing was said.
Barron is going to be a 6 foot 8 power forward and play for Creighton.
Cornhead,
Well then hopefully he is more Doug McDermott and less Benoit Benjamin!
Progs and all the other Lefties are vicious dogs. Rabid, too (you can tell by the way they foam at the mouth).
Remember how the lefties were outraged when Rush Limbaugh made some unkind comments about Chelsea Clinton? Sometimes I think the leftists only standard is expediency.
“The old saw that children of presidents are off-limits went by the wayside long ago.”
I don’t agree. The press, by and large, was very hands-off with Obama’s children, at least until they were effectively adults, and out doing things on their own.
The viciousness of the press towards Trump and his family is appalling.
I just ope that Barron gets a chance to be an 11-year-old boy. I’d love to see Trump spend some weekends with him at Camp David and let him build campfires, make some S’mores, and swim in a stream. I went to Brownie camp across the road from Camp David when I was about Barron’s age. We had some flying squirrels visit our cabin one night. It was a great experience.

The rule only ever applies to children of Democrat politicos.
Remember the garbage dumped on Palin’s kids, also GW Bush’s — it just Trump’s turn.
I wonder how far back that goes?
A lot of president’s didn’t have minor children.
JFK’s were sacred, of course.
Anyone who picks on a kid for political gain makes me sick.
Cornhead — nah, he’ll go to Penn, like his father and sister. Penn has almost always been the best Ivy League basketball team (has to, being in Philadelphia, except for when Bradley was at Princeton) and, IIRC was once actually in the final four.
It’s also interesting that he was named for Barron Hilton, Conrad’s son, rather than a Trump or Melania ancestor or relative. I suppose if you consider yourself a hotelier, you might want to name a son after one of the greatest.

One of the Trump children went to Georgetown. But the first issue is where does he go to grade school and high school.
The boy is 11 and his dad is 70 and president. Tough deal.
Barron will be going to St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland, in the fall.
“Anyone who picks on a kid for political gain makes me sick.” Bill
In doing so they abandon all humanity and demonstrate a complete divorcement from conscience.
Liked Barron’s t-shirt choice. May be the first time I’ve seen the kid in something other than a suit.
Nothing surprises me after the way the Left mocked & said vicious things about Trig Palin. There is no line to cross, they erased it years ago.
To expect decent, polite, and restrained behavior from the progressives is a dead end street. They have no sense of decency, politeness, or restraint; and no sense of shame. No there there.
When a newspaper critic went after Harry Truman’s daughter Margaret, here is what old Harry wrote to him:
Mr Hume:
I’ve just read your lousy review of Margaret’s concert. I’ve come to the conclusion that you are an “eight ulcer man on four ulcer pay.”
It seems to me that you are a frustrated old man who wishes he could have been successful. When you write such poppy-cock as was in the back section of the paper you work for it shows conclusively that you’re off the beam and at least four of your ulcers are at work.
Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you’ll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!
Pegler, a gutter snipe, is a gentleman alongside you. I hope you’ll accept that statement as a worse insult than a reflection on your ancestry.
H.S.T.
When I was in 6th, grade I was already 6 ft tall, and played center on the basketball team. I was hoping I’d end up at least 6’5″.
Then in 7th grade, I was still 6′, and played forward. In 8th grade, still the same height, I played guard.
While everyone else was shooting up around me, I never grew as much as 1/4″ after that.
Great, now the USA mimicks British paparazzi and talks about the Royals the way they now talk about the PResidential family. MIght as well worship Chelsea too.
