How does he sound? Can’t pull up the audio. |
It's actually not all that weird. I'm over 50 and I have online friends I have never met in person. My young adult children have online friends they've never met in person, mostly from gaming. |
It’s not super clear whether he’s ever met her in person. They “met” online but could have met in person at a later date. I agree many teens have online friends but I would be worried if my kid was describing an older woman in another country as “someone he was very close to.” |

I know you guys think this is weird but there's no conspiracy.
Lonely people start text-only relationships like this all the time. I have a friend who does it and is always texting some married dude who lives 300 miles away. I would imagine his weird childhood has made Barron an incredibly lonely young man. |
How old is your friend? I think that makes a difference. A 19 year old in college should have other options to make real life friends. Even when I was in college the Internet existed and there were social chat areas that were for university kids only. That would make me more comfortable as a parent than randomly reaching out to people. |
It's very unclear if he is actually in college, it appears not at the moment. They totally freaked at anyone taking pictures that might include him at Mar a Lago on NYE. Why? If you want to cut to the chase, though this admin would like to quash any discussion around this at all, preferring to treat any talk about him as meanies talking about a minor child, there is ample evidence he is likely autistic. |
Lonely people, yes. But this is the son of the president of the United States. Shouldnt there be a little more concern about his online Russian friends? |

WTAF. Update on incident. Trump facetimed her.

That is not the only reason. I know people that went to HS with him. But being unable to pick up on subtle social cues (like clothing and hairstyle) is definitely a symptom of neurodivergence. If you are from a different culture, then of course you are picking up on different social cues. Also, it’s different than a kid who affirmatively decides to reject social cues. I’m not diagnosing him but it’s my gut instinct based on a constellation of things — and I feel bad for him because it’s hard to be neurodivergent in the public eye, and also his dad obviously has a very narrow view of how people should be and isn’t totally the most accepting person. Then again his dad is already so far into dementia that he probably doesn’t even pick up on any neurodivergence. Neurodivergent kids are also at higher risk of being taken advantage of by unscrupulous people on line, both because they tend to be more lonely, more trusting and miss some of the subtle cues that something is “off.” |
Huh—weird that in England hearsay evidence comes in but with a jury instruction to discount it. He should have actually taken a screen shot or recorded what he saw on the FaceTime call—that would be better evidence. or showing up to testify — hard to get a conviction if he is the only witness and refuses to testify. Did the girl testify? Barron is a mystery in so many ways. I don’t like Melania but the one thing she’s done a really good job of is shielding him. Kudos to her on that. |

Why is Baron hanging out with Russian women?
I guess Russia wants to control all the angles. Has he never heard of a “honeypot”? |
How are you so sure they never met? You sure are inserting a lot of details you can’t even know. |
Nope. |
He is over 18 and decided to become a public figure when speaking on podcast on behalf of his dad. Just like Kai Trump is a public figure. They both chose this and they are officially open to whatever PR that brings them good or bad. Plus, this situation must have been sanitized. Why is the US President’s son close friends with a Russian woman who has a mobster ex? Some of you say he is smart. Being friends with a Russian woman when you are son of the US President is pretty dumb. |
| Is it even established the woman is Russian or are people assuming because her abuser is? |
