I find it remarkable that Barron Trump didn't attend with his parents the World Series.

[no_hypocrisy]

What 12/13 yo boy WOULDN'T want to attend the WS, esp. in seats this good?

Don't tell me he had homework to do on a Sunday night . . . . .

[cilla4progress]

1. Whole sad god-forsaken lot

of them.

[C_U_L8R]

2. Hanging out with Trump and his GOP goobers

doesn't sound like much fun at all. Can't blame the kid for taking a pass... if he was even invited.

[Arazi]

3. He's Melanie's son. Why would he take him?

[bullwinkle428]

4. Honestly, maybe Melania is smart enough to know exactly how things would unfold, and

she didn't want him to be exposed to that.

[BlueMTexpat]

34. This perhaps. eom

[Dorian Gray]

36. I think this is it...

Despite all her flaws, she seems to want to protect his privacy and his childhood.

[RudyColludie]

52. maybe lol

[UniteFightBack]

5. The deal is dump pays for the kid and that is it. nt

[Jarqui]

6. Even 12-13 year olds can be embarrassed by their parents nt

[madaboutharry]

7. I would put money on it that they

barely speak. You never see them talking to each other, when they’re in the same place.

Barron is 13, he’ll be 14 in March.

[Kaleva]

8. That would have been cruel on him

[JDC]

9. He brought Matt Gaetz instead.

Trump doesn't even know who Baron is. Baron has "bad ratings" or worse, NO ratings. i feel sorry for that kid.

[keithbvadu2]

22. Baron doesn't have dirt on Biden?

Baron doesn't have dirt on Biden?

[hay rick]

28. Presumably because Gaetz demonstrates the same level of maturity.

I suspect Baron has behavioral, developmental, or psychological problems and the media has collectively agreed to be incurious.

[Pachamama]

30. Gaetz likely has very similar ones as Trump

And now he can fill his daddy complex with Trump as the father figure

Scary

[Wounded Bear]

10. Probably doesn't like crowds...

[Ilsa]

11. I wondered the same thing. My brothers would have

put up with all kinds of grief from family to attend a game like this. It makes me wonder again what's up with Barron and this family.

Does anyone know how long trump stayed at the game?

[Hekate]

12. IIRC daddy only becomes interested in his male spawn when they can be of use to his bu$iness...

...sometime in their mid to late teens. Barron is still very young and may also not have the personality the old man is looking for, especially in public. That doesn't mean he can't be damaged, of course.

It always looks to me like the only ones of any importance at all are Ivana's -- the Original Three.

[thecrow]

57. He's taller than the old Orange

The Orange might not let him be taller... size is a thing with him ....?

[RockRaven]

13. Why would anyone expect that Dolt 45 gives a shit about his son? Based on what priors?

That's not in line with everything else The Dotard has ever done in public.

[Maru Kitteh]

14. Would you go anywhere with those people if you had a choice?

[TheBlackAdder]

15. Perhaps they're trying to drain the humanity out of him by forcing him to hit hamsters with a hammer

[Sneederbunk]

16. He has school tomorrow. Series is too late for east coast kids.

[no_hypocrisy]

17. 1. It's the Worlds Series! School can wait.

2. You're the son of a sitting President. There will be an allowance for being late or absent.

[onenote]

27. There were kids, some younger than Barron, all around me at the game.

[greyl]

18. Not everybody follows MLB,

and I doubt Barron wants to be seen with his lousy excuse for a father.

[stopdiggin]

33. you got there before me

the assumption that ALL kids want to go to a major league baseball game (yes, even the series) holds about as much water as ALL kids want to go to band camp, or ballet, or whitewater kayaking. Some do .. and a lot don't. And .. the second great fallacy being advanced is .. if in fact the 13 year old has ANY interest in spending time around his "lousy excuse for a father" (doubtful at best) .. it almost certainly WOULDN'T be in a large media pumped public setting. Like THAT'S some real quality time!

If the kid had any option here at all .. I'm quite sure he BEGGED to stay home.

[smirkymonkey]

19. That poor kid is going to be so messed up.

Between having those two people as parents, he doesn't have a chance. I wish his grandparents would take him and move back to Slovenia with him.

[BigMin28]

20. His name isn't Ivanka

So tRump couldn't care less about Barron. Ever notice the only pictures we see of him with any of his children when they were young is of him and Ivanka?

[machoneman]

21. Trump knew he'd be boo'ed! Some nefarious move that will show up in a video to his deplorables.

One can bet that's why his son didn't attend. Trump will somehow try and twist this to his advantage, just like his stupid release of that infamous transcript which he was SURE would show he was innocent of anything underhanded, illegal, immoral, unconstitutional, etc.

What a dolt!

[jmowreader]

23. Would you want to attend if you knew you had to go with Donald Trump?

It seems that on Barron's first day at school, the teacher called him before the class.

"Children, this is Barron. Barron, tell us about yourself and your family."

"Hi, class. Like the teacher said, I'm Barron. My dad works in the city sewage plant. He wears a wet suit and dives in the raw sewage to break up the lumps. And my mom cleans intestines at a slaughterhouse."

Barron was immediately ordered outside.

"Barron, you know your father is president of the United States and your mom is First Lady."

"I was kinda hoping no one else found that out."

[Turbineguy]

24. Maybe it's a blessing.

What child would want to be present when his Father gets booed.

Trump could have been a lot classier with the al Baghdadi raid announcement today.

On the other hand, no, he couldn't.

[fierywoman]

26. Barron is now distinctly taller than Dumpty, which is unforgiveable.

[John1956PA]

29. My first thought as well. n/t

[Garrett78]

31. Narcissists aren't capable of love or empathy.

[diane in sf]

32. If he's somewhere on the spectrum, which I suspect, that scene at the park with all the noise and

people would be overwhelmingly unpleasant for him. And that’s even before the booing.

[lindysalsagal]

38. My best guess.

Every spectrum child is different, and it's possible he didn't like the way the whole day would feel to him, unable to get away and do his own thing.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

35. maybe he was somewhere else in the stadium

[Hortensis]

37. Wouldn't you protect him from us? Us as in the worst of us,

of course, of whom there are unfortunately millions. He was the target of massive abuse from the beginning.

[MyNameGoesHere]

39. Went to the bathroom this morning to give half a shit

about the spawn of Donald missing a world series game. I just farted. I couldn't even give half a shit.

[johnp3907]

40. I hated baseball at that age.

Still do.

[former9thward]

41. Why do people constantly want to comment on other people's parenting?

Just because someone is in the public eye does not mean we get to put their children under a microscope. And yes, Barron is still a child. I would love to see the people making the comments have their parenting (if they even have any experience) under a microscope. I wonder what we would find?

[Turin_C3PO]

50. Yeah, Trump's a great father, I'm sure.

[former9thward]

53. He may be a shitty father.

I wonder how many making the comments fall in that category?

[Buns_of_Fire]

42. Barron's presence was not necessary to the plan.

The plan wasn't to watch the game. The plan was to let The People see and pour their adoration on his daddy dearest until he was all sticky and satiated.

Oops.

[Submariner]

44. Barron completed his job as the hooker's official anchor-baby

He is barely an after thought now, just like the stains on the sheets he was conceived on.

[MineralMan]

45. Well, when I was his age, I had no interest in baseball at all.

I would have been incredibly bored at a World Series game.

[Skidmore]

46. People, don't pick on that kid.

He hasn't done anything. He's still in school.

[Blue_Tires]

47. I don't care...

The less of that trash family in public, the better...

[fescuerescue]

49. If he did. Online forums would find a reason

to take issue with it.

[NYC Liberal]

51. Maybe he simply didn't want to?

[TeamPooka]

54. Because Barron's not an earner. The World Series is for winners.

You want to make Trump's scene, you've got to pay him the green.

[StarfishSaver]

55. He probably faked a stomach ache or pretended to be asleep

Would you want to go ANYWHERE with that man if you didn't have to?

[MFM008]

56. he only drags the kid out

when he thinks it will get him a vote or 2.
