@benroyce He will be his father’s son. He doesn’t know anything else. His mother has no values. His father offers him up as a sacrifice. For him to be even moderately adjusted would be the work of a miracle factory. No one around him cares about anyone but themself. He will be the product of his upbringing.
mom and dad don't talk. this whole "i'm sending him to the convention" -> "oh no you're not" is his parents fighting through their son
whenever you see barron he has zonked face: his entire existence has been this battle of wills and contempt between donald and melania, he's shell shocked
so: i agree with you. he's likely to become just another GOP ghoul
however, it's possible he rejects both, and charts his own path, as far away as possible
@benroyce One can hope, but his daddy was raised the exact same way. Look how he turned out. Any ounce of compassion that kid ever had was smothered out of him before he ever could walk.
@thepoliticalcat@Catawu@benroyce
Melania is as horrible a human as TFG. Remember the "I don't care" jacket? The Christmas tree rant? Her own birther comments?
The kid doesn't have a chance unless he gets far away from them both for a few years.
@TCatInReality@thepoliticalcat@benroyce I look at the dynamics: His father is cruel, a bully, and remote. His mother is obsessed with herself, greedy, hateful. His father is only impressed with cruelty. He will try to please his father by becoming him only worse. Or, he will despise women because of her.
it is true for both. the path barron is on is the same path that made donald. it doesn't mean barron will definitely share the same fate of low character dbag as his father, but his chances aren't good
@benroyce@TCatInReality@thepoliticalcat When all the role models in your life aspire to cruelty as a sign of power, there’s not much hope you’ll become a benevolent, compassionate person or have the strength to pull away from the people in your life who have always had the most power over you. Without a solid role model, there is no path.

Did you hear the story, as told by Ivana, about how Jr was treated during the divorce proceedings?
Ivana took the 3 kids and left. Trump wanted to lash out at her and demanded he keep custody of Jr. Knowing Trump, Ivana said sure. Trump sent a driver to collect Jr. Two hours later Jr was brought back.
@TCatInReality@benroyce@thepoliticalcat That was a Jr. story. I thought you were talking about orange turd. Yeah, look what that did to that kid. He had several incidents of abusing his son, publicly. I think it gave him a chub.
when trump wasn't busy sexually fantasizing about his daughter
how the f*** did we wind up as a country with this human piece of sh** as a major figure we have to concern ourselves with as having such a grave impact on our lives?
@benroyce@Catawu@thepoliticalcat
We got here quite easily - he was a celebrity and generated phenomenal media attention. As he was completely transactional and amoral, all kinds of groups supported him thinking they could use him for their own means.
And so, we have a coalition of white supremacists, "Christian" nationalists and billionaires all supporting an obvious conman who is constantly normalized by the media.
@TCatInReality@benroyce@thepoliticalcat I don’t remember jr. Ever holding a job for 10 minutes so that’s a side story of another failed human as the result of failed but abusive parenting.
@thepoliticalcat@Catawu@benroyce
Not only did Jr have few hardships, he also had an (alleged) billion $ inheritance dangled right there if only he played ball.
I don't know, but I'm guessing, that's hard to resist.
@thepoliticalcat@Catawu@benroyce
One more reason Trump needs to drag down Hunter and Joe Biden. Tyrants can't allow another alternative to their horrific, bullying worldview.
"My son had an addition, with hard work, loving support and compassion, he beat it" cannot be allowed to be seen.
@thepoliticalcat@TCatInReality@benroyce Being psychologically/emotionally and physically terrorized by your father, daily, is a hardship of its own. Having a mother who was drunk and stoned before noon, didn’t help.
My son is 18 and wouldn't want to go to my nomination convention either (and we're close) I don't know how it works in their family, but I'm glad Barron is getting a break from the toxicity of it all.
i think this is a battle of wills between two parents who don't communicate, at least, and detest each other, probably. this is a teenager being used by his parents as a weapon to fight each other
Donald: "he's going to the convention"
Melania: "no he's not"
not said behind closed doors. out in public. with Barron as a pawn
obviously this is toxic. Barron's social development and psychological well being are being hit
