      The cunt has made the decision to milk his family name. He’s not going to be out there contributing to the betterment of life for the common man. Once he can grow a strange beard like his brothers he’ll be appearing on fox news preaching the gospel of lord Trump.

      Don’t make excuses for this fuck bag. If his overpaid team of mediocre lawyers can’t do it, why should you?

      Also, since apparently it needs saying, I will not vote for you for President. And that is how ridiculous it is to hold yourself, some random commenter on an Internet message board, to the same standard as to someone who is running for the office of president of the United States.

        Lawyers aren’t entering in to remembering how old your kid is, I’m just saying I’ve been there so I give him a pass on that one. Only that one though. :) The rest of his fuckery is on him.

          Lawyers are arguing legal technicalities because that’s what lawyers do, because that’s how they win cases.

          And, excuse me, but where have you been? Paying off a porn star to rig an election? Actually rigging an election? Or throwing a coup because you fucked up rigging the election?

          Or just watching it all on Newmax and YouTube, where “content creators” tell you it’s all “deep state lies”? Lmao … meanwhile the Jan 6 convictions continue

          Ya know, I really have very little patience who wanna “give a pass” to the likes of bigoted, neo-fascist, narcissistic con men like Trump. There’s no reason and rational person would argue this unless they’re a follower and believe they have something to gain, and you certainly haven’t made anything close to a convincing argument. The best you have offered is that you also such and shouldn’t president, to which I have no argument, but it doenst really help Trump in any way, sooo….

          I think we’re done here.

            You’re reading far too into it. The person said that they are willing to let him pass on this specific mistake. The person is not saying that they forgive Trump.

              Ok, even if I’m reading too much into it, my position is still that Trump doesn’t deserve any forgiveness for this.

      Is it harder or easier to remember their age when the birthday was less than two months ago. I feel like the 18th is also one of those birthdays where they emphasize the specific age a lot too.

      Unless you have Alzheimer’s, that only means you are not involved with your kid. I know exactly how old mine are and when their birthdays are and I’m normally not good with dates. The thing with birthdays is that the dates stay the same so there’s no excuse not to remember it.

        My siblings and I are the closest we’ve ever been. I forget their ages constantly. I forget my age constantly. I love my parents. I never remember their ages and nearly every year I need to be reminded when their birthdays are. I barely remember my own birthday, usually I don’t even care unless my birthday is on a Friday or a weekend. Not everyone is you.

        My kid was tricky because of the date… I couldn’t remember if he was turning 18 on the 19th or 19 on the 18th. It was one of those…

        But that was 10 years ago now.

      From what I’ve seen so far he unfortunately turned out like his brothers. I also had similar hopes for him, but I guess it’s hard to do growing up in that environment.

              Thank for that, I was not aware of his mom’s press release regarding this when I initially posted.

              “He does like politics. It’s sort of funny. He will tell me sometimes, ‘Dad, this is what you have to do,'” Trump told Philadelphia’s Talk Radio 1210 WPHT radio station. “So anyway, he’s a good guy.”

              I will say that this isn’t giving me much faith that Barron isn’t a total piece of shit, unless his advice to his dad is “stop being a fucking traitorous crusty cum stain you old bitch”. I’m 50-50 on it because either way Trump would describe him with the exact same wording.

            His mother issued a statement that he had a “prior engagement,” which is always code for the person in question saying “fuck no, and fuck you for not asking me first.”

          People that didn’t grow up in environments where you’re surrounded by shitty, bigoted opinions don’t understand just how fucking hard and how long it takes to deprogram yourself from that shit. Took me longer than 18.

          Once he starts personally getting on stage and being a bigoted shitbag, I’m more than fine with putting him on blast. Til then, I’m willing to give the kid at least some of the benefit of the doubt.

            Exactly. Shitbirds of a shitfeather flock together.

            But until he does so…

            If the world boxes him in (and I guarantee the kid feels boxed in), they’re force him to become the piece of shit the world expects him to be…

            Like, I dont envy this kid one bit, but if you don’t allow him an escape hatch…

              I really, really don’t like this growing trend of refusing to believe that people can change. I was caught on the young, dumb teenage libertarian > far right pipeline fucking hard. If I hadn’t had friends that recognized that and (figuratively) knocked some sense into me, I’m not entirely certain

          He was a kid when his dad was running for office the first time, 2 years shy of a decade ago. He’s an adult now. A legal adult stepping in to politics by acting as a delegate, to cast a nomination vote for his insurrectionist, traitor, Putin’s ballsack gargling father is putting something on a kid? In that context, assuming that he’s materially different than literally anyone else in his immediate family is inappropriate? The pieces of shit here all have the surname “Trump”.

          Apparently Melania said he’s not doing it, I wasn’t aware. So if Barton’s reading this, sorry bro I’m sure you’re a totally chill guy. You’re also shooting a pretty suss look at your dad’s hand there. If you’re getting beat by that fucker you should give Bob Woodward a call or some shit.

      I don’t think the Trump family can produce a relatively normal person, but hopefully for his sake.

      The one thing I learned about their family is that no one is a normal, upstand person. For example people were having high hopes for Melania to be more human than trump, but she is just like him. Though it does look like she is trying to copy him, even her signature is very similar.
