Let me start by stating that I do not think his mother is a very good person. For multiple reasons. However I don't think she is the monster her husband is. I don't have a link to the video currently. But I remember back in 2015-2016 8 years ago. A 10 to 12 year old Barron Trump and Melania being interviewed by inside edition? And the thing that struck me the most. Was that this child born in and raised in the United States. Had been so isolated and insulated from everything not just his father. He spoke with the accent of a Slovenian immigrant. What little he did speak.
Mind you that isn't a dig at his intelligence. Because I'm sure he probably does speak his mother's native language as well as english. Which is more than many of us could say. But the fact that he was so isolated not just from his father but from everyone else around him. That he didn't speak English like a New Yorker or just naturally at all. It really tells you who he was raised around. Which can give you some hope that he won't be the outright monster his father is.
I think it's important to remember that Trump became a monster not because of genetics. But because of his father. That fuck, Fred. Not to mention his frigid mother. However Fred Trump was such a bastard it was celebrated in song. Buy one of America's great socialist song writers. And unlike the rest of his siblings. He latched on to his abusive father and they became inseparable. His father feeding his mental illness.
Considering how Donald generally treats Baron I don't think he's going to have a lot of affection for his father. He was whining so much about needing the day off for Barron's graduation. Yet he couldn't even spend a whole day. One single day celebrating something like that. Because. His election is so important to him that he cannot take one full day to spend with his son.
I think it's pretty safe to say whatever Baron becomes good or bad. He's likely to be his own man. Not a carbon copy narcissist like his father or leaches like his Step Brothers.
Oh yeah. Dudes gonna be in therapy for the rest of his life.
That’s not a dig on therapy, or people who have it incorporated into their mental health care - I myself do it. Just a statement that he’s surely got REAMS of stuff to work through because both of his parents and all of his siblings are varying shades of psychotic.
Agreed.
