Barron

I'm unconvinced that he's the behind-the-scenes genius that TSF makes him out to be.

There's no video or audible record of Barron speaking. TSF's other children have made speeches, inc. Tiffany. Not Barron.

IMO, it's not b/c he's shy or adverse to publicity, etc.

I think he's on the high end of autism spectrum. He can function well enough, but not completely independently.

The video of Barron when he was three shows a typical gregarious and articulate child with a Slovakian accent. Nothing after that.

And I further believe that Barron was moved from NYU's main campus in Greenwich Village to keep an eye on him and to prevent any negative media findings about him. He's now cloistered in the WH.

If Barron has developmental issues, that's for his family to navigate. It's private and personal. I don't care.

Meanwhile, his father is a criminal, a war criminal, a fake and a phony. There are plenty of issues of serious import to attack Trump and to try to hold him accountable. Those are, in my opinion, real issues to investigate.

I really don't care
Do you?

Says it all.

I mean honestly, he's happy, healthy, wealthy and his dad is a huge bully. Can't win them all. But he started out the gate a lot better than most. He's just another rich white guy who can live his whole life without a care in the world. And I'm not jealous, because I think that kind of person is toxic and not very human.

Many autistic people can be geniuses but I agree that he isn't one.

All he did was tell Trump to go on certain dickbag podcasts that he knew about.

who told him to go on those podcasts. Trump said he did, but he lies about everything. He may have just been trying to "normalize" the kid's image and portray him as someone who was active and involved behind the scenes despite his lack of public engagement.
I think he had a Slovenian accent as a small child because he spent all his time with Melania and her parents, who spoke to him in Slovenian or their heavily accented English. I don't think he has the accent now.

He was probably pretty much surrounded by his mother and grandparents exclusively.

I suspect that he didn't have much exposure to his father back then.

Trump has admitted to being a hands-off parent to his children when they were young, so it is possible Slovakian is Barron's first language.

Same city?
Did your friend say " there is Barron " while walking somewhere?
What do ou base your opinions on him on?

I don't care but would be interested to know.

And I think Trump (in his sick, twisted thinking) is embarrassed by that. I think Trump has desperately looked for someone to blame for Barron being autistic, thus the attack on vaccines and the Tylenol crap.

since he would end up getting a failed lobotomy to live with for the rest of his life.

A lot of people have said he is likely autistic and they weren't trying to be mean, just objective.

Barron is the Colt who could not stand upright quick enough to find his legs and begin to suckle.

The over protectiveness of Barron by Melania and forbidding him from public speaking of any kind, should be some indication that not all is well. The height thing is another matter as well. At 6'8", who in either family going back a generation or two, was that tall?

We can only speculate for now? I am certain there are some Doctors here at DU who could answer that.

He hasn't done anything wrong; except being born Trump and Melanoma's son.

More likely, one or more of the family's financial team put it all together in his name. I don't like any of the Trumps but I think it is really unfair to call him a "monster" and repulsive to call him an incipient sex criminal. I don't know of anything he has done to deserve that.

30. a) it's incredibly rude to speculate about peoples' neurodiversity - on par with speculating about their sexuality
Sun Dec 7, 2025, 02:40 PM
Dec 7

b) there's no "high end" of the autistic spectrum - it's a spectrum because of the range of characteristics that appear more or less strongly in each individual not because some people are "very" autistic and some people are "only a little" autistic.
c) lots of autistic people live independently - almost 80% according to one study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9299856/
d) lots of autistic people are highly articulate and live public lives (eg, Anthony Hopkins, Dan Ackroyd, Greta Thunberg, Tim Burton, Bill Gates, Susan Boyle) - if he's out of the spotlight his theoretical autism would have nothing to do with it.
e) other than being his father's son, he hasn't shown any great desire to be a public figure. So why not leave him out of it?
