Trump says son Baron is happy, but 'not as happy as he could be' amid social distancing

[left-of-center2012]

President Trump said on Saturday that his youngest son, Baron Trump, did not seem much bothered by the social distancing measures put in place by the White House amid the coronavirus outbreak, but noted that he would rather that things returned to normal.

The president was asked about how Baron, 14, was doing during the pandemic during his daily White House press briefing on the coronavirus.

"He's in his room, he's happy, but not as happy as he could be," Trump said. He also said that his son is a good athlete and likes to play soccer.

Schools and universities across the country, including Washington, D.C., have closed during the outbreak, opting for virtual learning.

16. New York is no more for her.

And all her shopping trips.

[TexasTowelie]

27. Could it be that her fate is

Talking about some karma...

[Texaswitchy]

31. I was thinking of that

I bet her pancakes look the same.

3. Nothing new for the kid, having grown up socially distanced in a strange "family."

And what "reporter" thought this was a question relevant in a national crisis? Was it supposed to humanize SHITLER? His detached answer defeated that purpose.

11. But Mom slathers him with his favorite $150 body lotion.

15. I thought it was caviar.

Seriously, I thought I read somewhere (probably here on DU) that she slathered him with caviar because it made his skin so soft.

[gibraltar72]

18. Don't remember hearing that. But I do remember her telling it was his favorite and she put it on him

several times a day. Probably before she was forced to leave NY

20. The product contained caviar.

[gibraltar72]

22. OK As I remember she told where she got it. I just knew it was creepy as hell at the time.

[Dorian Gray]

25. Was it La Prairie?

expensive face cream. Caviar Luxe!

[kskiska]

28. I think it was her own product

that probably didn't sell. She must have cartons of it.

[Marie Marie]

29. Yes, now I remember that. Thanks for the clarification.

[customerserviceguy]

24. It's the only way

the cat will play with him.

4. Sounded like he couldn't remember his name at first.

He inserted later in the middle of a sentence.

[John Fante]

6. Nobody cares, Dotard. Not even you. How did the subject of Baron even come up?

Who the fuck cares?

[AZ8theist]

8. My thoughts exactly

Who gives a shit about the Imbeciles kids???

[Raine]

10. Apparently he was asked about Baron

and how he doing, that's what it says in the OP. 🤔

[John Fante]

19. I wanted to know who specifically asked the question.

Was it a Fox lackey? An AP reporter? CNN?

[Skittles]

7. I'm betting Barron is just fine being on his own

his biggest problem is his dad

[Yavin4]

9. I'm shocked that Trump even knows who Baron is. n/t

[Doreen]

12. Why is Baron in his room?

Isn't he allowed into the rest of the house.

13. Remembering last year (?)

Trump had a band aid on his hand.
The WH said Trump had scratched his hand while 'roughhousing' with Baron
"as he often does".

I suspect the only thing Trump 'roughhouses' with is a bucket of KFC.

[smirkymonkey]

14. "Roughhousing?"

WTF? The kid is probably trying to beat the shit out of him on a regular basis. I wouldn't blame him.

[llmart]

17. I don't know why...

but this post just made me laugh out loud.

[kskiska]

21. These people are androids.

None of them have human characteristics.

[Ms. Toad]

23. Looks a lot like his dad, aside from his mouth and eyebrows.

[Grasswire2]

26. He doesn't live in the White House.

He lives in Maryland with Melania and her parents.

Next question should have been "Do you ever get to be together these days?"

30. 'Melania's son' acc to Donald.

'Melania's son' acc to Donald.
