The position as an at-large delegate for the Florida Republican Party will be the highest-profile political role thus far for Barron, former President Donald Trump's youngest son.

It will soon be Barron Trump’s time to step into the political spotlight.

Trump, former President Donald Trump’s youngest child, who will graduate from high school next week and has largely been kept out of the political spotlight, was picked by the Republican Party of Florida on Wednesday night as one of the state’s at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention, according to a list of delegates obtained by NBC News.

...

In a family full of politically involved children, Barron Trump, who turned 18 in March, has retained much more of a private life than his older brothers, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., both of whom will also be Florida at-large RNC delegates, along with Trump’s daughter Tiffany.

Damn, he resembles his father more than any of his siblings.

That's just because of all the surgery Ivanka has had. She looked like him like 30 years ago. Barron looks like if you uploaded pictures of Melania and Donald to one of those programs that would tell you what your child together would look like. I have hope yet that Barron is capable of not being a piece of shit. He'll get no hate from me until he deserves it, and honestly with parents like his I feel like I can give him a few passes while he's maybe too young to know better than to just do what he's been taught. I want so badly for him to be decent against all odds.

Like zero percent chance of this happening, but imagine the hilarity if he used this platform to just absolutely wreck the proven pieces of shit that make up the rest of his family

His dad would throw him under the bus without a second thought.

If he runs as a republican I doubt he'll be any better. Anyone with half a brain and no eyes can see what they actually stand for. Also, now that he's of age and willingly stepping into the spotlight he's fair game to shit on.

[–] MrVilliam@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

100% fair. I'm just saying that I don't think it's fair to punish a son for the sins of his father.

Yeah, you called a trust-fund kid "poor".

He gets more in weekly allowance doing nothing than I make in a year.
