I am wondering.

[Doreen]

First, I have never ever seen a picture of Barron smiling ( not even close ) what do you think is going on with him? I mean do you think his dad is mean to him? I have never even seen an attempt at a fake smile.

Second, do you think Melania's parents care that she seems unhappy 98% of the time and just like everybody else can tell Beelzebub is not nice to her? Most of her smiles seem forced.

1. Her mother cares;

her father, not so much. JMHO, but the father looks like a real loser.

[Doreen]

3. That was my exact thought also ( about her father. )

[elleng]

6. I may have read that he is/was a local politician,

and rather heavy-handed, so she the daughter came into this 'naturally.' Nothing like nature!

[Doreen]

8. So sad she was groomed for this.

[caroldansen]

2. How can anyone be happy living near him. He has zero love for anyone. He's a total failure. The

Bible says without love you're nothing. He's the biggest nothing on earth!

[Doreen]

4. True.

[lapucelle]

5. I feel sorry for both of them.

They always seemed to be living on the periphery of Trump's bizarre universe with his "original" family front and center. They went from being mere satellites to becoming completely isolated and continually scrutinized ancillary figures in a continually unraveling Trump universe.

[Doreen]

7. Well put.

[Kimchijeon]

13. Very true, and I feel sorry for them.

[world wide wally]

9. Anything for money

[Doreen]

10. Melania or her father or both?

[Raine1967]

11. Melania loves her son.

I actually went through her entire twitter feed to try to understand this woman as a first lady.

She has a few tweets of her and her parents with Barron. I have seen pictures of him smiling as a younger child and him playing sports MElainia was/is very supportive of her son.

She used to tweet about him a lot. She loved to tweet of her travels and the things she was loving in her life. She is a woman of wealth and I'm fine with that.

When her husband ran, her twitter feed became much quieter. I truly believe this is a woman who did not want or expect this to be her life.

[Doreen]

12. I am glad that she loves Barron because his

dad does not seem to give a shit. I do not think Barron wanted this either. I am hoping he will not be like his half brothers.

[Raine1967]

15. I have a personal belief that it will never be possible for him to be like his siblings.

I don't believe that young man is like any of his brothers and sisters.

[Doreen]

17. I do not think Tiffany is that bad.

You only see her once in awhile. I do not think he is very proud of her or likes her that well or whatever that man justifies as feelings. Maybe I am wrong and have not seen some news on her being like her three half siblings.

[Kimchijeon]

14. No, I don't think she expected this outcome.

She was fine with being the mandatory ostentatious trophy wife, but she didn't expect this whole spectacle.

[Raine1967]

16. I think you may be right, but I suspect it was a little more than that.

She retweeted this article from ET in 2013:

http://www.etonline.com/news/129311_Melania_Trump_on_Her_Romance_with_Donald_Trump_New_QVC_Jewelry_Line/


She was fine with a life of money and glamor; having her own business' (QVC) and travel and raising her son.

And for wealthy people living a private life -- I have no qualms with that. She has been trying to do her thing -- even married to that thing.

Please note, she always mentions Barron first.

This wasn't part of her plan. I think she has no choice but to play a part in his game.

[Kimchijeon]

22. Yeah, she has no choice, she has to play along.

[liquid diamond]

25. No. She isn't being held captive.

She can leave him if she wants to.

[oldtime dfl_er]

26. I think also

she has a lot of secrets. Doesn't want any scrutiny.

[Laffy Kat]

18. I saw a video clip of Barron playing with a baby and he was smiling.

I think it was his niece or nephew. It has been the only time I've seen him smiling. He appeared quite loving toward the baby.

[Doreen]

20. So, maybe he does have a chance not to turn out like his three older half siblings.

[bathroommonkey76]

19. I think Ivanka is Barron's mother.

[Doreen]

21. Are you being serious?

If so why would she hide him as her son? Unless he is uhmm..Trumps son or had him out of marriage or has a disability of some sort.

[Raine1967]

32. Well your thoughts don't align with facts.

What would compel you to say something with no proof to back it up?

[bathroommonkey76]

33. hahahaha

[Raine1967]

34. I was not being funny. I am very serious.

Please back your claim up.

Thank you in advance.

[bathroommonkey76]

35. I was.

Thank you in advance.

[gopiscrap]

23. she knew what she was getting into

[GoCubsGo]

24. If you go to Google Images, you'll see a few photos of Barron smiling.

Granted, it's only a tiny fraction of the ones out there. I suspect a lot of it has to do with being 11 years old, and being a center of a lot of likely-unwanted attention. I seem to recall Sasha Obama going through a little bit of that when she was that age, too. I don't know if his dad is mean to him. It wouldn't surprise me if his dad rarely even gives him attention, and that would explain a lot.

As for Melania and her parents, who the hell really knows what is going on there?

[tazkcmo]

27. No sympathy for her

She knew what she was doing and she's been there over 10 years. The child IS deserving of sympathy and I do feel bad for him.

[liquid diamond]

29. There's something off about that boy.

[tazkcmo]

30. Disgusting and ignorant

Welcome to ignore

[liquid diamond]

31. .

[liquid diamond]

28. She is a gold digger and he

is shallow. She married for money, and he married for looks. Those two assholes deserve each other. However, I think he'll be replacing her soon since her looks have faded and will only get worse. Physical beauty is a depreciating asset. Trump understands that. He's been married 3 times.
