This entire time I have never said a bad thing about Barron Trump. His future was not set for him. He could still be a decent person. But now that he is 18, and involved in the Republican party, he is fair game.
Tiny Trump is Total Trash.
I’m not gonna pretend he deserves anyone’s pity or that you should change your opinion here, but acting like 18 is some magic age where someone is suddenly completely responsible and free of childish impulses/problems is ridiculous. Society may need to set an age for accountability in a legal sense, but socially, humans just don’t work that way.
He’s not a minor anymore and he can make decisions to be in politics or not. That’s my point. He was totally unknown until now. I was HOPING he would disown his family. But, apparently they’re all insane.
Definitely agree, but for what it’s worth, I certainly didn’t stop being a dumbass teenager the moment I turned 18.
It’s akin to waiting until someone turns of legal age to fuck them. It’s creepy and downright wrong. He was born into this and it’s grim.
He was also born into immense wealth and access to any education he wanted, but still chose this.
At 18, he’s legally free to walk away from his shit-for-brains father and make his own choices.
He chooses nepotism. He may not be totally mature, but they are his choice.
He’d be free to walk, taking a leap into the unknown at the cost of losing almost everything he has. Expecting that sort of heroic act of him is not entirely reasonable.
OTOH, judging by the photos, he does give off Brock Turner/Kyle Rittenhouse vibes. If, having grown up where he did, he turned out to be an aggressive predator, it would not be a huge surprise.
I’m almost certain he’d be able to land on his feet.
Almost any publisher would pay rights for “growing up trump”, for example.
I wouldn’t have expected him to totally walk away… but his choices are now his to make in a way they weren’t before.
Especially when you have constant pressure to be that way from everyone around you. Truth be told, I’ve always just felt bad for the kid. Sure we’re to the point where you’ve gotta expect him to at least start thinking for himself, but that type of deprogramming takes a long ass time.
Well, feel bad until he starts slamming minorities.
Yeah, but he made a choice there. And for that choice he deserves to be criticised.
Fuck nepo babies and dynastic politicians.
Daughter In-law co-chair of the party, son is a delegate, daughter and son in-law are part of the cabinet.
The red hats are looking a LOT like the red coat monarchy that we declared independence from.
Conservatives want to be ruled by a king. That’s why the ruling class created political conservatism post-revolution.
I’ve always wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, regardless of who his parents are. He’s about to throw away that goodwill.
So if Baron Trump has entered the world of politics, that means that the rest of his life is no longer closed to scrutiny. Stupid move. You can’t have it both ways.
Has he registered for selective service, or does he have those pesky genetic bone spurs that allow you to play football, baseball, soccer, and wrestling while attending military school, but prevent you from actual military service?
What’s the story here please? I’m out of the loop. Why is he expected to register? Most young Americans don’t, right?
Every male in the US under a certain age (I think it’s close to 30? I’m not American) has to register under penalty of law.
This also applies to immigrant boys/men who become citizens and transgender men (people born female who gain legal recognition as a male).
I had no idea. Thanks for explaining!
It’s a “draft” sign up everyone signs when they register to vote or get thier drivers license. Since there’s no longer a draft it’s basically just saying yes to maybe being selected for jury duty someday.
If world war 3 breaks out though ya might end up drafted still
I won’t say that won’t happen, but they will call back all the inactive reserves first. The 1st time you sign an active duty contract, you sign up for 8 years total. Everyone does. It normally is 4 years active and 4 years inactive, but sometimes it’s 5 and 3 or 6 and 2.
They called people back in '02, '03 during OEF/OIF. It’s easier to call people with prior training back then train 100% new one.
Most people in the US get automatically registered by their state DMV to the feds, but you’re technically responsible for doing it even if you don’t get a driver’s license
Every single male in the US has to register.
Someone give that bitch a wedgie
Does this mean he has to stop his illustrious career with the cyber?
RIGGED!!!
And they say nepotism is dead. (Nobody says that.)
Audible “ugggggghhh”.
