No, he's not. They tried to drag him in, but he declined.

I'm not seeing him declining anything here.

Lol, what the hell even is this family. It's obvious Donald and Melania don't talk to each other at all if they have to air their disagreements through press releases like this.

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.

Let's not assume he's a piece of shit before he shows us he is.

And even if he does some dickish stuff at 18, it's possible to grow, have regrets, learn from mistakes etc.

Not if you share the opinion of everyone here apparently. According to lemmy, an 18 year old fed with a silver spoon and thrust into the limelight is basically pol pot 2.0

God i was a shithead at 18, but eventually i turned into a fairly decent adult. I would like to think that at least. I know the kid has a hell of an uphill battle even if he does have a decent core to him, what with the fame, fortune, and batshit insane family, but if the public opinion treats him like it does here, ill be honest, i would hate the entire world and everyone in it too, just like his old man. Seems like his mom sees that at least. I wish him well and hope he turns out nothing like his father.

I wouldn't trust something happened just bc dozy don said it did. I'd want video proof before I believed him say gravity exists.

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."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

That's correct.
