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.

    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.

    Also, why do we act like 18 is the magic minimum age when someone should know better? I remember being 15, 16, 17 and having a solid understanding of morals and how to participate in society. I wasn't special.

    It's not "You're 18 now, so you should know better." It's "For fucks sake, you're 18. You should have figured this shit out years ago."

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I've only ever seen comments online saying they feel bad for him being in that environment or that they hope he turns out normal. In hindsight, it's kind of astonishing any Trump was afforded such grace from the general public.

    And that little shit threw it away his very first chance to do so. Fuck him.

    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?

    I supported him more than the others in the family. Not so much now.

    Because he was just a kid born into this shit. Now he's a participant.

    Similarly, Ivanka sucks, but not nearly as much as her father.

    I assume "support" is used here like "least favorite". Whatever your least favorite thing is; it's nowhere on your actual favorites list. It's just how we say "this sucks the most" while using less abrasive words.
