I wonder how much of this change is the result of the whole world saying "Well, he's 18 and getting into politics - the gloves are off now." Wouldn't surprise me if it was his mom's doing. I don't like her, but good on her if she pulled the plug on this.

Melania was shopping for rugs on January 6. She knows how to avoid the shitstorm.
Actual rugs that go on the floor or different hair for that asshole husband of hers?
Like pretty much everything with Trump, the more you look the worse it gets.
He doesn't have a wig; what they did is called a hair transplant. They take the part of the scalp that's still growing hair and move it to the front of the front of the head. Trump's was so painful that he beat up first wife Ivana for suggesting it.

Or... hear me out: someone that hasn't ever voted in their whole life shouldn't be a party delegate.
Greta Thunberg has entered the chat.
There are 12 year olds who can discuss political issues intelligently, and 50 year olds who have never read the Constitution. Age shouldn't be the factor.
Fucking hilarious. Prior commitments on the four days your father, the former president, will be nominated for president again. What are these more important commitments?
Baron must really hate his dad. Also, I assume Melania does too, especially with him forgetting his son's age and once again publicly running through the affair he had 4 months after she gave birth. Even if he doesn't care about the kid, he should be able to calculate from the dates that keep coming up in his trial.
Baron must really hate his dad.
His dad probably only was around for him when he was needed as a prop in front of cameras. And maybe show up briefly to give him a gift card on his birthday.
He’s 18 now. Criminal conspiracy could land him in prison.
I hope he does decide to get into politics but as a Democrat. Wouldn't that just chap Trump ass.
Trump was a Democrat until he realized the Republicans were dumb enough to vote for him. He'd respect self interest.
Then enlist in the military.
I don't know quite how you would do this, but I'd like a combination of this press release and the first press release announcing he would be a delegate set to the music of the song Dueling Banjos.
This pleases me. Good on you baron. You have your whole life ahead of you, no need to ruin by following daddy's foot steps
According to one report, on January 6 Melania was looking at rugs. Nice to see that Barron is following the footsteps of his smarter parent.
I don't know about "smarter" - she seems like a sack of bricks to me.
Moderately less shitty...?
Less shitty, in her own words "I don't care, do you?"
"According to his mom" Jesus christ, MSM is really jacking this one off hard
It's literally what happened. It wasn't him who said it, it was the spokesperson for his mom.
Which is what makes this so funny. First the Trump team issues a press conference that it's happening then, apparently, Melania goes, "fuck no it isn't!" and releases her own press release about Barron having "prior commitments" on the day his dad gets officially nominated for president.
Just in case you were wondering how that marriage has been going.
I'm not a fan of her, but this was a smart move to keep her son out of this political media circus if she cares about him. I doubt Donald Trump gives a shit about him, he just wants more of his family in power because he runs politics like the mob.
