Daily Beast's Laura Esposito BURNS Lurch Trump: "Even the son of a president needs help impressing women."

Even the son of a president needs help impressing women.

Barron Trump, 20, sought dating and fashion advice from some of the most infamous and controversial figures in the so-called manosphere, the online network built around masculinity and dominance.

The elusive first son came under scrutiny after The New York Times reported that he admired Andrew and Tristan Tate, who face human trafficking charges brought by multiple women across several countries. But a new report from The New Yorker on Monday revealed the extent of the youngest Trump’s efforts to man up.

According to the report, Barron formed a close connection with Justin Waller, a manosphere influencer who described himself as the Tates’ “third brother” in the recent Netflix documentary Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere.

Rot while still attached to the limbs, and stay there until they are just a shriveled up hollow carcus of skin. With unviable seeds that will never reproduce.
That is a good thing in this circumstance.

already wealthy, so they aren't willing to put up with sociopathic behaviors. They are probably emotionally intelligent, or at least more than any Trump. They probably see something in the son already on display by the fayher (and possibly mother).

The accusations were on MSN.

Let's just say it's accusations that have NOT been "debunked."

Various accounts that were immediately slammed as fake, all by MAGAts.

He just seems...capable. I don't know. You'll find 10 sources that say it's true and 10 that say it's not.

I just see him as a true Norman Bates / Psycho Mama's boy. And with parents like Grampy and the Slovenian sex worker, what are the odds that this would be the kid who would grow up and cure cancer, you know?

who's ever existed. Kinda makes sense that the youngest Trump spawn would seek him out, given that Waller probably reminds him of distant decrepit dad.
